Ease of use, secure process and advantageous price: here is all there is to know about the reproduction of keys and badges by SecurClés.
The SecurKeys Promise
A smartphone with a camera, the SecurClés application, a blank sheet of paper and the original key: that’s all you need to duplicate your keys in just 3 minutes. The procedure is childishly simple. Once the application has been downloaded, SecurClés will ask you to take photos of your key on a white sheet. The company then takes care of send them to the manufacturer of your key or a certified factory. This is the guarantee of having a faithful and functional reproduction. SecurKeys prides itself on a success rate of 99.6%. And if the key does not work, the company reimburses you or sends you a new duplicate.
Just take two photos of your key on a white sheet to reproduce it
When the photos are validated by SecurClés, the company undertakes to deliver the standard keys and badges to you within 48 working hours. The more secure key models may require more time due to their complexity. All keys are then 10 year warranty.
SecurKeys also works with badges. In addition to a photo, however, you will need to use the NFC function of your smartphone. By placing your badge on your smartphone, the NFC chip will be able to transmit the necessary information to SecurClés to make a duplicate. This feature is only available on Android smartphones, however, due to limitations imposed by iOS.
And in practice?
In fact, the promise of SecurClés is perfectly kept. We made a reproduction of a garage key through the mobile application. Registration and taking photos takes no more than 3 minutes. You will then receive two emails. The first to consult the SecurClés offer, which notably includes the price. The second is used to identify you to a bailiff. Once the order has been paid for, SecurClés transmits the information to the factory. A perfectly functional key was then delivered to us very quickly.
After taking the photos, we quickly received the key by post.
Is SecurKeys secure?
Making a duplicate of your keys is a sensitive task. In the wrong hands, the information needed to make a reproduction can allow anyone to open your door. SecurClés has therefore thought of everything to prevent this from happening, and to offer an even more secure solution than in stores.
Your account does not store any personal information
SecurClés will never ask you for your first and last name, your address or your telephone number. In this way, neither SecurClés nor a third party can link a key to personal information.
Anonymized delivery
SecurClés recommends choosing delivery to a pick-up point or to a trusted person. In this way, the key and the address where it can be used are never displayed simultaneously.
Security checks
As with a locksmith, SecurClés will ask you for a property card to produce a duplicate of a high security key. It is thus impossible to make a duplicate for a malicious purpose.
For traditional keys, SecurClés uses a bailiff’s office to identify the order using a verification code system. A procedure that is not mandatory by law, but which adds a level of security. If necessary, a judge can go back to the buyer of the duplicate key.
An anonymous payment
SecurClés uses a partner platform during payment. Thus, the company cannot link the name linked to a bank card with a key.
What keys and badges can be reproduced at SecurClés?
Standard keys, with holes, or even high security: SecurClés is able to reproduce all types of keys, not to mention badges. Above all, the French company provides keys that are perfectly identical to the originals, and no simple duplicates.
