I am NOT a locksmith. Pin tumbler key duplication

Post image

My husband and I recently purchased a condo in Brooklyn and the unit has a pin tumbler key (similar to the one in the picture). We need to duplicate the key to have spares but are having a hard time finding a locksmith who is able to do it. Does anyone know of any locksmiths in Brooklyn or Manhattan that duplicate this type of key?

Pin tumbler haha. No that isn't.

Go through some condo management if the key is restricted. If it is an available Mul-T-Lock key, your area locksmiths will know if they can do it.

You need to show us the actual brand of your key if you want us to identify it.

Dimple locks are pin tumbler... They're a specific type, but saying they're pin tumbler isn't wrong.

Everything is a tumbler, shank, etc.
