Chester County, Pennsylvania
A mobile locksmith for Coatesville: cars, homes and businesses. Call and we tell you honestly when we can be there.
You lose your house key during a walk through Coatesville and find yourself outside a locked door.
We open doors in that situation, and you have a choice about the old copies. Rekeying changes the existing lock to work with a new key, so the missing one and other old copies no longer operate it. Replacement gives you new hardware as well as a different set. If several doors use the same key, consider which ones need to be changed and who has copies that would need replacing.
A sticking or broken key calls for a different response. Avoid forcing it in the lock, since that can make the problem worse. We remove broken pieces, repair or replace faulty hardware, and make copies when you need another way in. For cars, we make replacements and program them for vehicles that require programming. We also open safes in Coatesville when the combination or original is unavailable, and address access problems at businesses. A working spare may be useful for making another copy, but it will not fix faulty hardware. If a piece has broken off inside, another copy may not turn until the piece is removed.

Being locked out of your car in Coatesville is different from needing a replacement for a missing car key. We handle both situations. A replacement may need programming to communicate with your vehicle, even if it fits the door. The vehicle model and the kind of original you had are useful details to share, because they affect what sort of replacement you need.
Rekeying changes which key operates an existing house lock. It gives you a way to stop an old one from working while keeping the hardware already on the door. Replacement is another choice if you want a different style or finish. We handle either option, so you can keep the look you have or choose something that better suits your home.
At a business, the way doors are keyed affects who can enter different parts of the building. Having compatible locks work with the same key keeps access simple, while separate keys give you more control over individual areas. We can rekey or replace door hardware to suit the arrangement you choose. Think about which areas need restricted access and which doors should be accessible to everyone who works there.

When you contact us about an employee who left with a key, we ask which entrance it fits and whether you know of other copies.
We also ask who still needs access, whether that key operates more than one door, and whether the entrance is part of a shared building. That information helps us understand what needs to change and what access you want to preserve. If you have copies you want to keep using, have them available so we can check how they fit into the plan.
Before work starts, we explain the choices. Rekeying changes the lock so the departed employee's copy no longer works, while replacement involves installing a different lock. We explain how each choice affects what you and others use to enter, including access through shared entrances or doors operated by the same copy. Once you choose, we carry out the work and test the door with you. We also show you which copies operate it and review any access that still needs a separate solution, so you know what has changed.
We make replacement car keys for supported vehicles and program keys when the vehicle requires it. The make, model and model year tell us which options may fit your car. Some vehicles use a key that also operates remote buttons, while others have a separate remote. Having another working key may affect the available options.
We can rekey your locks so the lost keys no longer operate them. Rekeying is a choice if you want to keep the existing hardware while changing which keys work. Replacing the locks gives you different hardware as well as different keys. You might choose replacement if the hardware is damaged or does not suit the door.
We can rekey business locks and set up a master key system for compatible hardware. In that arrangement, selected keys open specific doors, while a master key opens the doors included in the system. You decide which areas need separate access. The existing locks and your preferred arrangement determine what changes are needed.
We remove broken key pieces from locks when possible. Leave the remaining piece alone rather than pushing or turning it, since it may become harder to remove. Keep the portion you still have and tell us where the key broke. We can assess the lock and explain whether it still works properly once the fragment is out.
