Locksmith in Whitemarsh Township, PA

We rekey the outside locks so the same key works on each door where the existing cylinders can be pinned to a single key; if a particular lock is worn or a cylinder is nonstandard we’ll recommend replacing it. Have every current key for those doors available when we get there so we can match and cut to the same key.

We adjust the strike or the bolt so the bolt and strike align again, and we service or replace a worn cylinder if the mechanism is binding. Until we arrive, use the key gently rather than forcing it; do not spray oil into the lock, as that can leave residue that stiffens a cylinder over time.

We rekey between tenants so every tenant key opens only its assigned door and your master key opens them all; we can also rekey any additional doors you list. Have a clear list of the units and which doors (front, rear, common-area) you want rekeyed. Before we rekey any unit, we go over a photo ID plus a deed, a management agreement or similar papers with you.

When there is a child, a pet or a person who needs help behind the door, dial 911 first. We open the house door on site and in most cases do so without damaging the lock, then rekey or replace the cylinder if you want a new key afterward. Before we open the door, expect us to ask for your ID and a utility bill or other mail tying you to the address.
