A safe with only one key is a risk, because a lost key can lock you out of your own papers and valuables. In Dubai apartments and villas, one key often serves a whole family. Safe key duplication makes a spare while you still hold the original. Reach us on WhatsApp at any hour, 24/7. Next steps and an estimate come back before any work starts.
Message us on WhatsApp or call 056 828 4120. Add a photo of the key and the safe’s lock. The line is open 24/7.
Making a spare safe key means copying a key you still have. It is a planned job, done before anything goes wrong. A spare kept in a second place saves a lot of stress.
This page is about copies. If the key is already lost, read safe unlocking or safe lock replacement. For ordinary door keys, see key duplication.
Safe keys are not like house keys. Many are small, flat or tubular. Some carry a code number stamped on the bow. A clear photo of both sides helps.
Not sure which type you have? Send photos of the key and the keyhole.
Based on market pricing, costs can vary depending on vehicle or lock type, security technology, replacement requirements, service complexity, and parts required. A copy made now costs less than opening a safe after the key is lost. Dubai providers published these ranges in October 2026.
| Job | Typical market range | What changes the price |
|---|---|---|
| Safe key copy | About AED 150 to 250 | Key type, lock type |
| Opening a safe lock without the key | About AED 300 to 350 | Safe type, lock type |
These are published market figures, not a DubaiRepairs quote. We give you a clear estimate before any work starts.
Safes hold passports, papers, cash and jewellery. A lost key puts all of it out of reach. Many people only think of a spare after the key goes missing.
Dubai homes often have several people with access to one safe. Keys get moved, borrowed and misplaced. A spare in a separate safe place solves most of that.
Do not keep the spare in the same drawer as the first key. Keep it somewhere that stays cool and dry, away from heat and damp.
Safe key copies are often requested in these communities.

Market ranges for a safe key copy are about AED 150 to 250. Opening a safe lock when no key is left runs about AED 300 to 350. The final figure depends on the key and the lock.
Yes. The phone and WhatsApp line is open 24/7. Photos of the key and the safe can go in at any hour, and a reply follows with the next steps.
A fixed time cannot be given before the key type is known. A plain flat key is simpler than a tubular or coded key. Photos on WhatsApp tell us more about your key.
Not directly. A copy needs a key to copy. Without one, the safe lock may need opening first. See safe unlocking for that route. Photos help us map out the next steps.
A stamped code can help match the key. Send a clear photo of the number and both sides of the key. We explain your options before we begin.
Many digital safes also have an emergency key for a flat battery. That key can often be copied. Send a photo of the key and the safe label.
A good copy should turn the lock smoothly. Worn keys and worn locks can still cause trouble. If the lock itself is worn, a new lock may be the better choice.
One spare is enough for most homes. Keep it away from the first key and the safe. More copies mean more keys to track, so keep a note of who holds each one.
Clear photos of both sides of the key come first. Add a photo of the safe and its keyhole, any stamped number and your area of Dubai. An estimate follows.
A single WhatsApp message with photos gets this moving. Your estimate arrives before any work starts. Message us on WhatsApp, call 056 828 4120. You can also read about safe installation or browse all locksmith services in Dubai.
