Locksmith in Fort Washington, PA

We check the door alignment and either adjust the strike plate or the bolt so they meet properly; if the cylinder is worn we service or replace it. Until we get there, be gentle with the key, don’t force it, and do not put oil in the lock. Have the door closed the way you normally use it.

We extract the broken key fragment, then cut a new key and repair or replace a damaged cylinder as needed. Don’t try to turn the broken half, and don’t poke anything into the keyway. Keep both pieces of the key together and have the door in its usual closed position so we can match the lock.

First we try a fresh battery in the fob and test the unit; if that doesn’t fix it we test the receiver and program a replacement key or remote at the vehicle. Have the vehicle present and any current spare fob or key available. Before we program a new fob or key, we go over photo ID together with the car's title or registration card with you.

We rekey each lock so a tenant’s key only opens their door while the owner’s master key still opens all units; we can create keyed-alike or master-key systems per your plan. Have a clear list of every unit and which doors need work. Before we rekey any unit, we look at your ID and paperwork showing the units are yours to manage.
