Inside the 7-Eleven at 4983 Cass St, San Diego, CA 92109, a KeyMe Locksmiths self-service kiosk handles key duplication without an appointment or a technician on site. Greg Marsh founded the company in 2012 and raised over $170 million from Battery Ventures, BlackRock, and Comcast Ventures. The kiosk uses proprietary computer vision and neural networks trained on tens of millions of scans, a method Marsh says eliminates the 15 to 20 percent error rate of traditional manual cutting. Residents who need full-service locksmith work — transponder chip programming, ignition housing repair, or residential re-keying — can visit DUP-A-KEY on Garnet Ave, a family-owned shop serving Pacific Beach since 2008. KeyMe supports car key duplication across more than 38,000 make, model, and year combinations at prices the company states run up to 70 percent below dealership rates. The kiosk also copies RFID access cards and fobs for apartment and condo buildings, a feature Pacific Beach renters find valuable when paired with grocery runs at Ralphs down the street. Mobile locksmiths are dispatched for emergency lockouts, deadbolt installations, smart lock setup, and master key system configuration throughout San Diego County. Flat-rate pricing is quoted before any work begins. Scans are stored in the cloud through the KeyMe app, so replacement copies can be ordered remotely if a key is lost later.
