As key and fob specialists serving Toronto and the GTA, one question we occasionally get from building managers, renters, or business owners is: “How much does a Medeco key cost?”
If you’re asking this, you likely already know Medeco keys aren’t your typical $5 key copies from the hardware store. These are high-security keys designed with advanced protections to prevent unauthorized duplication — and yes, they do come with a higher price tag.
What Is the Typical Cost of a Medeco Key?
At MiniFob, we do not copy Medeco keys, however, our Toronto headquarters (FobToronto) does and charge $100 per Medeco key copy. That might sound like a lot upfront — but compared to industry pricing, it’s in line or even below standard for this type of high-security service.
To give you some context:
- Some locksmiths in Toronto charge $120 to $150 for authorized Medeco key duplication.
- In the U.S., prices often range from $85 to $130+ USD, depending on the key type and service provider.
Why is the cost high? It’s not just the cut — it’s the legally protected technology, special machinery, and strict authorization requirements behind every key.
Why Are Medeco Keys More Expensive?
We’ve explained it in more depth in our article, Are Medeco Locks Worth It? but here are a few key points:
- Security Features: Medeco keys use angled cuts, rotating pins, and patented key control systems that make duplication extremely difficult without authorization.
- Restricted Access: Not every locksmith can legally copy these keys — and those who do often require the original authorization card or proper ID.
- Equipment & Licensing: Special machines and trained staff are required to duplicate Medeco keys accurately and legally.
Do You Even Have a Medeco Key?
Before visiting us, it’s important to confirm if your key is a Medeco key, and whether it’s patented or not.
Some Medeco keys fall under patented protection, meaning we cannot legally duplicate them unless you provide proof of authorization. You can refer to our guide:
👉 How to Identify Patented Keys
If your key is:
- Medeco but not patented: FobToronto might be able to help.
- Medeco and patented: Duplication is likely not available.
Still unsure? Bring it into our headquarters or send us a photo. We’re happy to confirm if we can copy it.
