Locksmith in Telford, PA

When the attempt is recent, the police come first; leave the door alone until they are finished. We replace the damaged cylinder or lock and repair or reinforce the strike so the door deadlocks and the jamb holds where it should. Have the door you want worked on unlocked if possible, any spare keys you already have, and be ready to show which side of the door was damaged.

We rekey or replace the mailbox lock depending on the hardware and how it’s mounted, fitting a new cylinder or changing the lock so you can use a new key. Be at the house with the mailbox accessible and know whether it’s on the door or a post, and have any existing keys for nearby doors handy. Please keep your ID and some mail addressed to you at the house handy, since we look at them before we work on the mailbox lock.

We extract the broken fragment, cut a replacement key from the removed piece or pattern, and repair or replace a damaged cylinder if needed so the lock functions like new. Until we arrive, don’t try turning the lock or poking anything into the keyway; keep both halves of the snapped key if you have them and note which key operated that door.

We rekey the exterior locks to a single key where the existing cylinders allow it, and we’ll point out any locks that must be replaced because they can’t be matched. Have every current key for the doors you want keyed-alike available so we can check pinning and key cuts, and be ready to tell us which doors to include.
