Delaware County, Pennsylvania
A mobile locksmith for Newtown Square: cars, homes and businesses. One call gets you a plain answer about when we can be there.
You have moved into a house in Newtown Square, and the old keys are still out there.
Rekeying changes the working parts of a lock so those copies no longer operate it, while you keep the existing hardware. If the hardware is worn or you want a different style or function, replacement is another choice. We look at what is installed and explain which option fits its condition and the access you want. You can also choose whether separate entrances should share one working set or use separate sets, where the existing fittings allow it.
Other problems in Newtown Square may involve a broken piece caught in a lock, a door that will not latch, or a lost car key. We inspect the problem and explain whether removal, repair, replacement or programming is appropriate. If something is stuck, stop turning or pulling on it. Extra force can make the damage worse. A latch problem may come from a worn or shifted part, so replacing the entire assembly is not always necessary. For a vehicle, the choice may include making a replacement and programming it to work with the car, if its system requires that step.

From west to east. Each door opens that town's page.
If your car key is locked inside, a spare may get you back in and let you keep using the original. When no spare is available, we handle car lockouts. A lost key is a different problem: we can make a replacement. Some vehicles also require programming before a replacement will start the engine. If the original is bent or cracked, avoid forcing it into the ignition, where it could break.
At home, rekeying changes which copies work while keeping the existing lock. This may suit you if the hardware is in good condition but you no longer want old copies to open your home. If the lock is worn or damaged, replacing it may make more sense. A sticky mechanism is worth treating gently, since forcing it can leave a broken piece lodged inside.
For a business in Newtown Square, access may need to differ from one room to another. A master system can give you one way to open several doors while other copies work only in assigned areas. We can set up that arrangement where the existing hardware is compatible. If it is not, replacement may be needed, so the choice includes deciding which areas each person should be able to enter.
Newtown Square is the post office name for Newtown Township in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
The township was once a farming community. As farms were sold and land was subdivided, it became suburban. U.S. Census figures for 2024 put the population of Newtown Township, including Newtown Square, at about 15,000.
Newtown Square lies east of West Chester, where we are based. Radnor, Easttown, Broomall and Wayne are also on our map, and they are the towns we cover closest to Newtown Square.
When you contact us about a keypad for a new tenant in Newtown Square, we ask what model is on the door, whether you have the current programming code, and who needs access.
We also ask whether other codes should remain active. You do not need to send us the new code in a message. If you have instructions for the lock, having them available gives us another way to check its settings.
Before making changes, we explain whether individual codes can be removed or whether a reset is needed, including what a reset would mean for existing users and settings. If the programming code is unavailable, we explain the options the lock allows. With the door open, you enter the new code yourself and check that it works. We also check any access you chose to keep and show you how to verify that a removed code no longer works. We explain how to change the code again if that feature is available.
We can check whether the fob is sending a signal and whether it is paired with your vehicle. First, make sure the battery is the type specified in your owner's manual and that it faces the correct direction. If you have a spare, try it too. That comparison may narrow down whether the problem is with the remote or the vehicle.
We can examine the lock and the key to identify the trouble. Avoid forcing the key, since a worn one could break inside. Try a spare if you have one and notice whether it turns more easily. Repair may be an option, or replacement may make more sense if the mechanism is badly worn.
We can set up a master key arrangement that opens selected rooms while other keys work only on their assigned doors. You choose which doors belong in the group and who receives each level of access. A lost master gives access to more than one room, so it is worth keeping a record of who holds each one.
We can assess the worn original and explain the available ways to make a duplicate. A copy made from it may carry over the same wear, so it might not work well. If a usable code is available, a fresh cut made from that information may be a better option. We can check what is possible with what you have.
We take calls Sunday to Thursday from 7 AM to 10 PM and Friday from 7 AM to 4 PM.
