Delaware County, Pennsylvania
A mobile locksmith for Drexel Hill: cars, homes and businesses. One call gets you a plain answer about when we can be there.
An office in Drexel Hill may want one key for some doors and not others.
We can change the locks on selected doors to work with it, while leaving access to other areas separate. The existing hardware must accept the same type of key for this arrangement to work. If it does not, replacing some of it may be an option. Another choice gives one person access to several doors while allowing others through only certain ones. You can decide which areas need shared access and which should remain restricted. Keep track of who receives each key, particularly when access needs change.
Lost keys, a broken key stuck in a door, and a door that will not latch are other reasons to call a locksmith in Drexel Hill. If you are locked out, we provide entry assistance. Avoid pushing a broken piece farther in or forcing it. We can remove it and check whether the hardware still works or needs repair or replacement. When a key is missing, changing the existing lock to work with a different one can make the missing one unusable. If the hardware is worn or no longer suited to the door, replacement gives you another way to secure it.

If your car keys are locked inside your vehicle in Drexel Hill, avoid forcing the door or window, since that can damage the vehicle. We handle car lockouts and can also arrange a replacement when the original is missing. A replacement for a vehicle with an electronic security system may need programming before it will start the engine. The vehicle's make, model and year help us identify the options.
For your house, rekeying changes which keys operate the existing hardware. Old copies will no longer work, while you keep the same exterior appearance. Replacement is another choice if the mechanism is damaged or you want a different style. We can look at what is installed and explain which option fits its condition, so you know whether the hardware needs to be changed.
At a business, you may want different levels of access for different areas. A master key can be set up to open several doors, while separate ones are restricted to individual areas. Anyone carrying the master will have access to each door it operates, so consider who needs that reach. This arrangement requires compatible hardware. We look at what is installed and explain whether it can support the setup or needs replacement.

In Drexel Hill, we start by asking where your mailbox is and whether it is a single box or part of a shared set.
We also ask who manages it, whether you still have a key, and whether the missing one had been difficult to turn. That information helps us determine whether the mailbox is privately managed or controlled by the Postal Service. If the Postal Service controls access, we direct you to your post office rather than work on it.
Before starting, we explain what we found and whether replacing the lock is an option. We describe what replacement involves, what keys come with it, and any permission you may need from the property manager. You decide whether to proceed. After the work, we check that the box closes and the new keys operate the lock, then ask you to try them yourself. We also point out any remaining issue with the mailbox so you know what may need separate attention.
We make replacement keys for supported vehicles and program them when the vehicle requires it. Some cars use a basic metal key, while others need an electronic version paired with the vehicle. The make, model and model year determine which kind you need and whether we can provide a replacement.
We change the keying of compatible door locks so old keys no longer operate them. This keeps your existing hardware, provided it is in usable condition. Replacement is another choice if the hardware is worn or you want a different style. Each exterior entrance needs attention, and changing the keying does not alter any separate access codes.
We examine the hardware to find out whether the trouble lies in the key or the lock itself. Forcing it can bend or break your key. Repair may be an option for a worn or misaligned part. If the hardware cannot be repaired or you want a different setup, replacement is another choice.
We remove broken pieces when the hardware allows it and check whether the mechanism still works properly. Leave the fragment alone and keep anything else out of the opening. Pushing on it or inserting another object can lodge the piece more deeply. If internal damage is present, repair or replacement may be needed.
We take calls Sunday to Thursday from 7 AM to 10 PM and Friday from 7 AM to 4 PM.
