    My keys ran off on me this evening. Need to cut key asap in the morning. Anyone know somewhere not far from O'Connell St preferably?

    I think I remember seeing a place on a street off Henry St before and can't remember exactly and google is no help! Cheers.

    Another place on Talbot Street on the left before you come to the Irish Life Mall (on the right). Another at the back of Clery's down Sackville place.

    New York Drycleaners do key cutting. Opposite Easons on Middle Abbey St.

    Perhaps a bit away but Marlows on Georges St and Fogartys on Dame St are also options

    got 2 keys cut in ths stephens green shopping centre at the start of the year,they are up on second floor.

    cost me 25 euro,thought i was ripped off at the time.seemed a little expensive for 2 keys,just regular hall door keys

    must be a cheaper place around or is this the going rate for keys

    Ouch! €4 is the going rate, and they'll usually do an additional key for an extra €1 or €2 because they can do the second key on the machine at the same time.

    I saw a 3 keys for €10 sign outside Homevalue Hardware in Sutton last week.

    There's a good place on North Frederick Street, just down from Lovin Spoon.

    you were totally ripped off.. unless they're cutting the keys out of silver or gold...
    the most I've ever paid to get a key cut is around €3-€4..

    I've paid a tender before but only for a garrison lock. Only one locksmith in the c.c. does them
    But yeah 2-4 euro is about normal.

    +1 on this. They do many of the more unusual keys.
    Central Key and Hardware Company.

    In fairness, there were two of you in it. I'd have walked out without the keys.
