Locksmith in Elk Township, PA

We cut and program a new key at the vehicle using the year, make and model you give us, and if needed we match the transponder or remote functions so it starts and locks like the old key. Have the car parked where it’s accessible and the vehicle’s VIN, year, make and model ready. Please keep your photo ID and the title or registration for the car handy, since we look at them before we cut or program a key.

We rekey the existing mailbox lock or replace the cylinder with a like-for-like unit so the new key works with that box. Have the mailbox accessible and tell us whether the lock is mounted on the door or on a post; also note any key markings if you remember them. If you reported the break-in to the police, tell us when you call. We check your ID and some mail addressed to you at the house before we work on the mailbox lock.

A break-in attempt that just happened is a police matter first; don't change anything about the door until they have looked at it. We replace the damaged cylinder or the whole lock as needed, and repair or reinforce the strike and jamb so the bolt seats properly and the door locks reliably. Have the door clear and the area unobstructed, and point out exactly where the hardware is damaged so we can assess what parts will work best.

We service the mortise or existing lock mechanism (cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment) or fit a replacement that matches the door style and uses the current cutouts to avoid new holes where possible. Have the door closed and show us the symptom (sticking, loose cylinder, or stiff key) and whether it’s the latch or deadbolt that’s acting up.
