Montgomery County, Pennsylvania
A mobile locksmith for Abington: cars, homes and businesses. When you call, we tell you plainly when we can come.
Your house key goes missing during a walk through Abington, and you reach your door without a way in.
If you have a spare, it may get you inside, but the missing one could still work in the lock. We can rekey it so the lost one no longer works, or replace the hardware if it is damaged or you want a different kind. Rekeying keeps the existing hardware and changes what operates it. Replacement gives you a choice of new hardware, though the door and its existing openings may limit what fits.
In Abington, you might also have a broken piece left in a lock, a mechanism that will not turn, or a door that will not latch. Avoid forcing anything stuck or repeatedly turning a stiff mechanism, because either action could make matters worse. We assess the problem and explain whether repair or replacement is an option. If a car key is lost or damaged, we can make a replacement for supported vehicles. Some replacements also need programming to work with the vehicle. When access has been shared with someone who no longer needs it, changing what operates the door offers another way to limit entry.

From west to east. Each door opens that town's page.
If your car keys are locked inside, we work on vehicle lockouts in Abington. A lost key is a different problem: you may need a replacement made for the vehicle, and some vehicles also require that key to be programmed to start the engine. A spare may give us a pattern to work from, though an electronic key can require programming too.
For your house, rekeying changes a lock so its old key no longer works. That lets you keep the existing hardware if it is in good condition. Replacement is another choice when the hardware is worn or you want a different style. We can work with you on either option, including matching locks where the hardware allows it, so you know which doors each key will operate.
Business doors may need different levels of access for different keyholders. We can rekey an individual door or work with you on a master key arrangement, where one key operates several locks and another operates only an assigned lock. The existing hardware affects whether that arrangement is practical. If a door is not securing properly, we can examine its lock and explain whether repair or replacement makes sense.

When you contact us about an employee who left with a key, we ask which doors it opens and whether you know of other copies.
We also ask who still needs access, whether you have a working copy, and whether the same copy needs to open more than one entrance. That gives us a picture of what needs to change at your Abington shop, including entrances you may have overlooked. You do not need technical details to describe what is happening.
We explain the choices before work begins. Rekeying changes a lock so the employee's copy no longer works there. Replacement gives you new hardware and may make sense if the existing hardware is worn or damaged. We explain which entrances each choice covers and how it affects the copies you still use, so you can choose what fits your shop. After the work, we test the affected doors and new keys with you and show you which ones operate each entrance. We also explain how to get additional copies and point out any entrances left unchanged.
We inspect the fob and the vehicle's response to narrow down the problem. A depleted battery is one possible cause, but damage to the remote or a programming issue could also be involved. You can try a spare if you have one. We will explain whether a replacement or programming is appropriate for your vehicle.
We can rekey the lock so the old copy no longer works while you keep the existing hardware. This is a useful choice if the hardware is in good condition and you like its appearance. If it is damaged or you want a different function, replacing it may make more sense. We will look at what is installed and explain your choices.
We inspect the latch and strike plate to find out why the door is not catching. A loose or worn component may be responsible, or the existing hardware may need adjustment. Avoid forcing the door closed, since that can make the problem worse. We will explain whether repair or replacement is practical for the hardware you have.
We examine the original before making a copy. Wear or bending can make its cuts difficult to reproduce accurately, so a duplicate made directly from it might not work reliably. If the original is too distorted, we may be able to identify the correct cuts from the lock. Avoid bending it back yourself, since it could break.
We take calls Sunday to Thursday from 7 AM to 10 PM and Friday from 7 AM to 4 PM.
