Getting keys cut

[maryos]

Does anybody know the process for getting a new key cut? This is for a rented apartment. The apartment is brand new. Only one key supplied.

Are there stores that do this, or is it done through an agency? I assume some sort of authorisation from the landlord is required.

On authorisation, is there one document that would cover all these requests? (also have to have authorisation for internet, telecom connection) Or does it have to be specific to each item?

Any info would be gratefully received

The Minutes shop in Deira City Centre will cut keys, from memory it is about 20 Dhs per key.

Thanks for this, very helpful

By the way, in case anybody else is after the same info, not all Minutes shops do offer a key cutting service. The one in the Mall of the Emirates does not, for instance

I believe there is a key cutting store in Lamcy Plaza too.

The miutes shop in MOE and Ibn Battuta dont cut keys anymore...*sigh*
