Locksmith in Tredyffrin Township, PA

We remove the broken fragment from the cylinder, cut a replacement key to match, and either repair a damaged cylinder or fit a replacement if the lock is compromised. Until we arrive, don’t try to turn the lock or stick anything into the keyway; keep both halves of the key together. Have the door accessible and tell us the lock type if you know it.

Often we service the existing mortise or unit, lubricating, adjusting or replacing worn parts, or fit a replacement lock that matches the door and trim while avoiding new holes where possible. Note the symptoms you’ve seen: sticking, wobble, or a stiff key, so we know what to check. Have the door unlocked and available when we arrive.

For multi-unit rekeys we set each lock so only its tenant key works, and we can provide an owner or manager master key that opens all specified doors. We’ll do the rekeying on the listed doors and label keys per unit. Please have a clear list of the units and doors to be rekeyed. Before we rekey any unit, we go over photo ID and proof you own or manage the units with you.

We can rekey the mailbox lock or replace it with a new cylinder, restoring secure access without forcing the box open. If the box is on a post we use the same approach. Have the mailbox unlocked if possible and tell us what type it is. Have a photo ID plus a recent bill sent to that address on hand, because we check them before we work on the mailbox lock.
