- GAGale AdlandMar 21, 20243.0I made a copy of a key using Minute Key at Home Depot in Durham. The key did not open the lock I made it for. I returned the key, and headed to Lowes - where I made another copy of the key in the Minute Key kiosk there. That key worked fine. Since all you ido is insert the key and wait, it certainly feels like the machine in Home Depot does not work well. So - 1 star for the kiosk in HD, and 5 stars for the kiosk in Lowes.
- CWCarlton WellsDec 17, 20214.0Except for the annoying constant up-selling tactics, the experience was good and the keys worked fine.
- SCSheila CookJun 28, 20215.0Minute key is by far THE BEST! Fast, accurate and fairly priced.
- RTRuth ThomsonApr 8, 20213.0The service was great - getting copies of house keys but the last key couldn't drop out of the machine so I got one less key which was suppose to be my free one. Luckily the store I was at - LOWES made me another key free of charge
- DGDr. Brian GloverMar 5, 20215.0A wonderful piece of technology, I would highly recommend. I had three duplicate keys made up at their kiosk in Lowes at Chapel Hill, NC, and I couldn't be happier with the results. All three fit perfectly into my office door. I do have one minor suggestion for an improvement though. When I was 15 years old, I worked part time in a hardware store, and one of my responsibilities was to fabricate duplicate keys for customers, so I do have some background in this subject. I did notice that when I received my three keys from Minute Key, they each had small burs still attached to them. They easily flaked off with the aid of a flat screwdriver that I procured from a nearby shelf. Really not a big deal at all, but my suggestion for future kiosks would be to consider installing a small slot that the finished keys could be inserted into. The internal side would house a deburring brush, something I remember doing to all the finished keys back in the day. A couple in and outs and your finished product would be flawless. Just a thought, it's still a wonderful device, and I loved not having to track down a clueless store employee (like I was so many years ago) to make them for me. Thanks!
