Locksmith in Hatboro, PA

With a child, a pet or anyone in trouble inside, phone 911 first, then us. We open the door at your house and, in most cases, do it without harming the lock or door hardware. After we finish, you should wait at the locked door so we can work directly where the lock is; have any visible key left in the lock or on the porch accessible so we can see the situation when we arrive. Before we open the door, we'd like to see a photo ID and a piece of mail or a bill with the address on it.

We rekey the existing cylinders so the old keys no longer operate them, and if a lock is too worn we recommend and install a replacement. For this job, gather every key you were handed during the move and have them ready to show us so we can match what needs rekeying or replacing. Before we rekey anything, we look at a photo ID plus the lease or deed for the home.

We re-pin or rekey the outside locks to accept a single key where the hardware allows; if a particular lock won’t rekey to the common key we’ll point out which lock should be replaced. For this job, have every current key for the doors you want on the single key available when we get there so we can check compatibility.

Call the police before calling us if it only just happened; leave the door alone until they are finished. We replace the damaged cylinder or entire lock as needed, and repair or reinforce the strike so the door secures properly again. You should have the door closed and any broken key pieces or loose hardware nearby and visible so we can assess what was damaged and what replacement parts will be required.
