Pricing can vary quite a bit because not all keys are the same. A simple home or padlock key is different from an automotive transponder or a high‑security “laser cut” key. Costs can change based on:

• Key type: standard metal, transponder/chip, flip/remote, or high‑security.
• Service level: blank only, cut service, or cut + programming support.
• Info provided: cutting from a code/card versus duplicating an existing key.
• Fulfillment: shipping or pickup options.

To see current pricing, open the specific key cut service item on Walmart.com and review the options shown for your key type and vehicle or lock. Availability and costs may vary by location and product.

Because key types and services differ, the best way to see your price is to check a specific item on Walmart.com. Here’s a quick way to find it:

1. Search for “key cut service” and filter by your vehicle, key style, or lock type.
2. Open the item that matches your key (metal, transponder, high‑security, emergency blade, etc.).
3. Select the cut option if offered, then provide any requested details (e.g., key code, code card number, or a photo).
4. Review the product page and cart for current price and fulfillment choices.

Keep in mind that programming for chip/remote keys is typically separate from cutting, and requirements can vary by vehicle.

Some key cutting services can use a key code or a code from a key card to precisely cut your key—helpful if you don’t have a working physical key. To proceed:

• Look for items on Walmart.com that mention “cut by code” or ask for a code/card number.
• Locate your code: it may be on a key tag, key card, vehicle paperwork, or with the lock set.
• Enter details carefully, exactly as shown; accuracy helps the cut match your lock.
• Review the listing to confirm what information is required; some services may instead request a clear photo of an existing key.

Availability and requirements can vary by make, model, and key profile.

Cutting shapes the blade, but chip/remote keys often need programming to work with your vehicle. What happens next depends on the key type and vehicle:

• Metal-only keys: usually no programming—cutting is sufficient for the lock.
• Transponder/remote keys: may require pairing. Some items are labeled “program yourself” and include guidance; others may need specialized tools.
• Emergency key blades: these slide into a smart fob and typically unlock doors only; vehicle start functions are handled by the fob’s electronics.

Always review the product description and your vehicle’s manual for compatibility and programming steps. Results can vary by model and year.

A key blank is an uncut key—perfect if you already have a way to duplicate it locally or plan to use a key cutting machine. A cut service ships a key that’s pre-cut to match your lock or vehicle based on details you provide (e.g., a key code, card number, or a reference photo).

• Choose a blank if you have easy access to cutting and know the correct key profile.
• Choose cut service if you want a ready‑to‑use blade delivered.
• For chip/remote keys, remember programming is a separate step from cutting.

Check each item’s description to confirm what’s included.
