Locksmith in Upper Uwchlan Township, PA

We open the safe where it sits, using methods appropriate to that model and its lock type; we do not remove the safe to a shop. Tell us the brand and model if you know it, and whether it has a dial, an electronic keypad, or a key lock, and have any backup keys or codes ready to show. Before we open the safe, we will need to see a photo ID plus a receipt or other record that the safe is yours.

We rekey the existing door locks so old keys stop turning, and where a cylinder or lock is too worn we suggest replacing it and do that if you want. Gather every key handed to you at the move and put them together so we can pin the cylinders to match. We'll look over photo ID and your lease, deed or settlement papers before we rekey anything.

We reconfigure the exterior lock cylinders to a single key whenever the locks are compatible; if a particular lock cannot be made to match we’ll point it out and recommend replacement. Have every current exterior key available when we arrive so we can determine which cylinders can be keyed alike and which need swapping or new cylinders.

When the attempt was recent, get the police out first; keep the door exactly as you found it until they have seen it. We replace the damaged cylinder or entire lock as needed and repair or reinforce the strike plate and jamb so the door secures correctly again. Have the door closed and the existing key or broken hardware available so we can assess what parts match and whether a new cylinder or full lock is the right choice.
