Door key fob cloning

Options
Hi Everyone,
I hope you are well.
Do you know how expensive it is to clone a door key fob (not remote)?
I understand that this can be done by a local locksmith.

Please advice as I don't want to be ripped off.
Thank you

    What type of fob e.g. garage, car, door entry etc fob os frequency/ make type etc you need to know that otherwise your wasting you time and will not get anything other than guesses or things that don’t work?

    If they are issued by management agent etc or your own system etc then no one can copy /replace them without system owners consent? If they are for cars etc( used by thieves etc) then contact manufacture or google fob clones, blockers etc

    Basic RFID fobs less than £0.20p some system fobs over £100+ so make etc is very important
