Locksmith in Conshohocken, PA

We rekey the existing cylinders so the old keys no longer turn, and if a lock is too worn we replace it with a new cylinder or lock set. Have every key you were handed at the move ready to hand over. Please keep a photo ID plus the lease or deed for the home handy, since we look at them before we rekey anything.

We regroup and rekey the outside locks to a single key where the cylinders will allow it, and we’ll point out any lock that must be replaced instead of rekeyed. Gather every current key for each door you want on the one key so we can match pins and cut the proper key combinations.

We extract the broken fragment, then cut a replacement key and repair or replace the damaged cylinder if it won’t operate cleanly afterward. Until we arrive, stop trying to turn the remaining stub and don’t insert anything into the keyway; keep both halves of the broken key together so we can see how it failed.

We service a worn mortise or rim lock to free sticking parts or fit a replacement lock that matches the door’s style and hole pattern, avoiding new holes when possible. Take note of the symptoms (sticking, a loose knob, or a key that turns stiffly) and have that description ready when we look at the door.
