Look for shops with 'Suutari' written on them. At least the town I live in has one with this name and they do keys, ice skates, shoes etc.

I think the original question was where is the cheapest place, not just who can do it. But you can judge by the answers so far that there is not enough competition in finland due to the tiny market.

Well you can always go to a locksmith. i guess they'll run over to the suutari and charge you triple if you insist.

Exec ones patent expires this year and after that the cost will drop like a rock and availability will be much better. I'd guess you'll end up paying 5-10e/key for classic.

City is not even given by OP. I'm sure there is plenty of places like those mentioned in Helsinki. Likely the average poster needing likely 1-2 keys did not bother to comparison shop price difference of something so cheap, so he would not know (what the situation was a few years ago when he needed the key).

Hey sorry I do live in Helsinki

Anyway sorry it must have been late when I posted that, but actually what I wanted to know was also how many hours it takes to make the keys, because I only have one set, and I need to get back into my apartment, so I was wondering how early I need to take them there.

Cheers!

Last times I remember the classic ones were done while waiting. Couple of minutes. For single key.
