Locksmith in Drexel Hill, PA

We rekey between tenants so each unit key operates only its door while the owner’s master key works every cylinder in the group. We can change cylinders or pin chambers depending on existing hardware, and label keys to match units. Have a clear list of the units and which doors you want rekeyed ready for us. Please have your ID and paperwork showing the units are yours to manage ready; we check them before we rekey any unit.

If someone inside needs help, or a child or a pet is in there, call 911 before anyone else. We open the locked door at the house and, in most cases, do so without harming the lock or door. Stay at the locked entry where we can work and tell us which lock is involved and any recent problems with it. Have your ID and a utility bill or other mail tying you to the address on hand, because we check them before we open the door.

Often we service the original mortise lock, lubricating and adjusting parts, or fit a replacement that matches the door’s style and keeps existing holes where practical. We can also tighten loose trim and check the strike. Show us the symptom (sticking, loose knob, stiff key) and have the door available so we can evaluate it on site.

We remove the broken key fragment, cut a new key from the extracted piece or from the cylinder, and repair or replace a damaged cylinder if needed. Until we arrive, don’t try to turn the broken stub or push anything into the keyway; keep both the detached tip and the remaining handle portion in a safe place and have them ready for us to inspect.
