About

Copying a house key, car fob, or RFID access card takes minutes at the KeyMe Locksmiths kiosk inside the Ralphs grocery at 4315 Mission Blvd in Pacific Beach, 92109. KeyMe was founded in 2012 by Greg Marsh after a frustrating lockout experience in New York City, and the company has since expanded to more than 4,000 self-service kiosks nationwide, all built at its manufacturing facility in Nashua, New Hampshire. The Pacific Beach kiosk uses advanced robotics, computer vision, and machine learning to scan existing keys and produce duplicates that account for wear and tear, a step most traditional hardware-counter copiers skip. Car key duplication and fob programming cover more than 38,000 make-model-year combinations and run up to 70 percent less than dealership pricing. Shoppers already picking up groceries at Ralphs can duplicate a key without adding a separate stop to their day. KeyMe also dispatches live locksmiths around the clock for emergency lockouts, lock installations, and rekeying across San Diego, covering every neighborhood from Coronado to Carlsbad. All transactions are handled by credit or debit card, and the company backs every service with a 100-percent satisfaction guarantee. Pacific Beach residents who need a more involved security upgrade, such as high-security lock installation or safe servicing, can reach La Jolla Lock and Safe for hands-on work beyond what a kiosk handles. Specialty keys for mailboxes, padlocks, and other non-standard locks are available on the spot, while less common blanks can be ordered and shipped with free delivery. The kiosk serves as one of several KeyMe locations across the 92109 ZIP code, giving Pacific Beach residents multiple convenient access points for fast key duplication.
