Lock Replacement in Conshohocken, PA

You have a new home in Conshohocken, but you do not know who has copies of the keys or how well the locks have held up.

We replace house door locks and cylinders, giving you a choice of new hardware rather than relying on what came with the house. If the existing lock is sound and you only want different keys, rekeying may be enough. Replacement makes more sense when parts are worn or damaged, or when you want a different style, finish, or level of security.

For a home in Conshohocken, you might choose a knob lock or lever set for an entry door, a deadbolt for a separate locking point, or a handle set with an exterior grip. We match your choice to the existing holes and thickness of your door, so you know whether the hardware will fit or whether a different model is needed. If you want one key for several doors, we can select compatible locks and key them alike. That means you carry one key, though each door still locks separately.

We start by looking at your front door, including its thickness, existing holes and the way it closes.

We check how the current hardware lines up with the opening, since a sturdier replacement needs to fit both. Before installation, we show you which sets suit those measurements and explain any changes needed to fit them. A residential security grade also gives you a way to compare how different sets perform in strength and durability tests.

Your choices may include a knob or lever paired with a deadbolt, or a handle set with a matching finish. If you want one key for every exterior door, we check whether the cylinders are compatible and explain which ones would need to change. Once the new hardware is installed, we check its operation with you. The key should turn smoothly, the latch should catch, and the bolt should extend fully when the door is closed. We also check that the inside control works comfortably and point out anything that could affect its operation.

Your sturdier front door set needs straightforward care. Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth and dry it afterward.

Avoid abrasive cleaners that could mark the finish. If the key feels rough in the lock, use only a lubricant recommended by the manufacturer and follow its directions. Keep spare keys in a secure place, and avoid hanging heavy items from the key while it is in use.

With the door closed, make sure the deadbolt turns fully without force. If it catches, the handle feels loose, or the lock becomes difficult to operate, stop forcing it and call us to check the fit and working parts. A change in how the door closes can put pressure on the set, so tell us about any rubbing or gaps you notice.
