Locksmith in Oreland, PA

We extract the broken bit, inspect the cylinder and cut a replacement key on site; if the cylinder is damaged we repair or replace it so the new key works properly. Until we arrive, don’t try to turn the broken piece or stick anything into the keyway, and keep both halves of the key ready for us to match and cut.

First we rekey the cylinders so each tenant key opens only its assigned door while an owner master key opens every unit. Tell us which units and which doors need rekeying so we can plan the work. Have your ID and paperwork showing the units are yours to manage on hand, because we check them before we rekey any unit.

Next we mount the keypad or smart lock onto the door, align the deadbolt with the strike, and program the lock together with you so you understand codes and functions; we recommend keeping the key override feature. Please have the complete lock you purchased with all its parts on hand so we can install and configure it without needing extra components.

To correct that we check for door movement so bolt and strike line up, then adjust the strike or the bolt and service or replace a worn cylinder as needed. Until we get there, be gentle turning the key and don’t use oil in the lock; have the door closed and any interior deadbolt trim accessible so we can examine alignment and the bolt travel.
