Where the heck do you get keys cut?
Where on earth do you get keys cut in this country 
I need a set of house keys cut, but I can't figure out where! Back in Manchester I could point you in the direction of about 5 key cutting places within a square mile.
Here, nothing, I have never seen a place that cuts keys. My husband doesn't even know. He said that in the past you got 'em cut at hardware stores. But now they don't exist.
Any clues? Is this just something specific to where I am - Woodbury, New York. Not exactly the middle of nowhere, it's the suburbs of NYC. Are other places lacking in places to cut keys?!

Re: Where the heck do you get keys cut?
yeah tried Yelp, nothing for here under key cutting or locksmith.
I'll look if they do it at Home Despot.
Otherwise I'll just wait till I next go into the city, I know there are places in NYC, but it's not worth a trip JUST to get keys cut!

We like to go to an independent hardware store for key cutting. But our big Home Depot does it too. Also the Ace Hardware store chain, if you have one of those around.

WalMart often has one of those kiosks like the ones that dispense videos for rental.
Pretty much any hardware store.

Our local Lowes has one where you can mess up your key yourself.

Do you have a local shoe repair? Both that I've used here also do keys.
