Delaware County, Pennsylvania
Car keys, house locks and business doors in Upper Darby, handled at your door or your car. One call gets you a plain answer about when we can be there.
You lose your house key while out for a walk. Back at your door in Upper Darby, you cannot get inside.
If another person may find the key, getting in is only one part of the problem. We can rekey the existing lock so the missing one no longer operates it, or replace it if it is worn or you want a different setup. Rekeying changes which copies work while keeping what is already on the door. Replacement gives you a new lock and may be the better choice if the old one is damaged or you want a different style of security.
A car may not recognize its remote, a door may refuse to latch, or a broken piece may remain stuck. We work on these problems in Upper Darby, including replacement car keys, compatible remote programming and repair or replacement of faulty hardware. You might also need copies for people who use the same entrance, or want separate access for different entrances. We look at the trouble you describe and explain the available options, including whether the existing mechanism is suitable for continued use. If something is stuck, avoid forcing it, since that can make the problem worse.

If your car key is lost in Upper Darby, getting back inside and getting the car started are separate problems. A replacement key may need to be programmed to work with your vehicle, even if it fits the ignition. We handle lockouts and key replacement, and we check what your vehicle requires. If a key is stuck, avoid forcing it, since it could break inside the lock.
Rekeying changes which keys operate a house lock while keeping the existing hardware. That may be a good choice if you have moved into a home in Upper Darby and do not know who has copies of the old key. If the hardware is worn or damaged, replacement may be the better choice. We look at its condition and explain which option fits your door.
A latch that misses the opening in the strike plate can leave a business door unsecured, even when the lock itself turns. If you have to pull or push the door to get it to catch, we examine the hardware to find what is preventing it from latching. We can adjust or replace the affected hardware where appropriate and explain any work the door may need beyond that.
Upper Darby is a township in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and it borders Philadelphia.
Several small creeks cross the township. The U.S. Census reported a population of about 86,000 for Upper Darby in 2024. Drexel Hill is a community within the township, and it has its own page on our website.
On our coverage map, Upper Darby is east of West Chester, Pennsylvania. Lansdowne, Yeadon and Collingdale are the closest towns to Upper Darby that we also cover, and each is outside the township.
When you contact us about a key fob that has stopped working in Upper Darby, we ask for your vehicle's make, model and year.
We also ask whether the buttons respond, whether the car starts, and whether you have a working spare. Details such as a recent battery change, a drop or exposure to water give us a better picture of the problem. Before work begins, we explain what we plan to check and the possible choices, such as replacing the battery or the fob, or programming a replacement to the car. We explain what each choice would mean for using your vehicle.
At the end of the visit, we go over the work with you and test the functions relevant to your vehicle, including locking and unlocking and starting the engine. If you have a spare, we can check that it still works too. We explain any remaining limitations and answer your questions so you know which devices are ready to use.
Check the remote battery and replace it with the type marked on the old one. If the buttons still do not respond, we can examine the remote and determine whether it needs replacement or programming. A physical key may still operate the door even if the remote does not respond.
We can rekey the locks so they work with a different key. That changes which keys operate them while keeping the existing hardware. If a lock is damaged or you want a different style, replacement is another option. You can choose whether to have exterior doors keyed alike or keep separate keys for them.
We can examine the latch and the lock to find out what is preventing them from engaging. Avoid forcing the door closed, since that may make the problem worse. Repair may be possible if a part is out of position or worn. If the hardware cannot be repaired, replacement is another choice.
We can examine your key before making a spare. A worn key may produce a copy that does not turn smoothly, so its condition matters. If another original key or the key code is available, either may provide a better starting point for making a spare.
We take calls Sunday to Thursday from 7 AM to 10 PM and Friday from 7 AM to 4 PM.
