Locksmith in Lower Moreland Township, PA

If the damage is new, phone the police first; hold off on any repairs until they are done. We replace the damaged cylinder or whole lock and repair or reinforce the strike so the door latches and deadlocks properly again. Have the door clear to work on, any keys you still have, and tell us whether the door is metal or wood and whether the existing strike is surface-mounted or mortised so we bring the right parts for the repair.

First, we extract the broken fragment, then cut a replacement key and either repair or swap the damaged cylinder if it won’t hold a cut key safely. Until we get there, don’t try turning the lock or inserting anything into the keyway; keep both halves of the broken key so we can match the cuts and assess cylinder damage.

At the vehicle we cut a new key and program whatever transponder or remote functions are required so the key operates the ignition and doors. Be ready to tell us the exact year, make and model and whether the car has a push-button start. Expect us to ask for a photo ID plus the vehicle's registration or title before we cut or program a key.

On site we open the safe in place without moving it and will work from whatever mechanism it uses, dial, keypad or key. Have the safe’s make and model available and tell us which type of lock it has; knowing whether it takes batteries for a keypad helps. We need to see your ID and the purchase record or anything else showing the safe is yours before we open the safe.
