Delaware County, Pennsylvania
A mobile locksmith for Lansdowne: cars, homes and businesses. When you call, we tell you plainly when we can come.
The combination to your safe is lost, and no one remembers the numbers.
Avoid forcing the dial if it will not turn, since that could make the problem harder to resolve. In Lansdowne, we work on closed safes and look at what is keeping yours shut. A mechanical model and an electronic model may have different options for restoring access. For continued use, your choices may include resetting the combination or replacing the locking mechanism, if the model allows it. We explain which options fit your model and what each means for using it again.
A lost house key, a car that will not recognize its key, or a business door that will not secure calls for a different kind of work. We handle lockouts, remove broken pieces and repair or replace faulty hardware. If you want to keep an existing lock but change which copies operate it, rekeying may be an option. Replacement may be the better choice when the hardware is damaged or you want a different setup. For a vehicle, we can make a replacement and program it when the vehicle requires it. We serve Lansdowne and nearby Upper Darby, Yeadon, Darby and Drexel Hill.

From west to east. Each door opens that town's page.
A locked car with the keys on the seat presents a different problem from a lost key. If you are locked out in Lansdowne, avoid pulling or forcing the door, which can damage its seal or leave it out of alignment. We handle car lockouts at your vehicle. When a key is missing, we can also cut a replacement and program it if your vehicle requires that step.
For your house, rekeying gives you a different working key while keeping the existing lock. That means the old keys will no longer operate it, which can be useful when you are unsure who has a copy. If the lock is worn or damaged, replacement may be a better choice, since changing the key does not repair worn parts. We can examine the hardware and explain which option fits its condition.
A business door that looks closed but does not latch can leave your space unsecured. We examine the lock and latch to determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate. If you have to push the door to make it catch, that detail matters: the trouble may be with how the door meets the opening rather than with the lock itself. We will explain what we find before recommending work.

A key fob that stops responding can leave you unsure whether the trouble is in the fob or the car.
We ask where you need us in Lansdowne, your vehicle's make and model, and what happens when you press the buttons or try to start it. Tell us whether the trouble began after a battery change, whether the buttons work intermittently, and whether you have another key that works. Those details give us a starting point and help us bring what the job may require.
We inspect the fob and check its response with the vehicle before recommending a course of action. If the battery is the issue, replacing it may be enough. A damaged fob may need replacement, and a replacement may need to be programmed to your car. Before making a repair, we explain what we found, which options are available for your vehicle, and what each involves, including any limits we identify. After the work, we test the relevant buttons and, where applicable, the starting function with you. You can also try the key yourself and ask questions about its operation.
We can check whether the remote is sending a signal and whether your vehicle recognizes it. A fresh battery does not rule out a damaged remote or a programming issue. If you need a replacement, we can explain whether a compatible one can be programmed for your vehicle and which functions it supports.
We can rekey the existing locks to make prior copies unusable, provided the hardware is in suitable condition. You would get a different set to use with the adjusted locks. If the hardware is damaged or you want a different function, replacement may be the better choice. We will explain which option fits your doors.
We can set up a master key system that gives selected people access to several doors while limiting others to particular rooms. You choose which areas each person should be able to enter. Not all existing hardware is suited to that arrangement, so we check what you have and explain any changes needed.
We can examine the bent key and determine whether it can serve as a reliable pattern for a copy. Set it aside rather than forcing it into the door, since it could bind or break and leave a piece inside. If its shape is too distorted, we can explain other ways to make a replacement using the door hardware.
