Where our customers find us
Emergency Locksmith
Keys break in the cylinder, bolt tongues shear, or a thumbturn jams at the worst moment; those are the calls we get as emergency locksmiths in Aldan. We cut broken keys out of pin-and-tumbler locks, extract snapped shanks from deadbolts, and rekey cylinders when keys are lost. We also deal with rim locks, mortise locks, and panic bars on commercial doors. When a latch has been forced, we check the strike and jamb and tell you whether repair or replacement will give a secure fit.
When we arrive we work on the door where it sits: we don’t loan a counter or meet elsewhere. We pick, drill, or disassemble hardware depending on the failure, then fit a replacement cylinder, deadbolt, or lever that matches the door prep and backset. For reinforced doors we may replace the strike or add a longer-throw bolt. We drive out from Havertown and bring the common cylinder types and drive-in hardware needed to finish most jobs on site.
While you wait, keep children and pets back from the work area and have a clear path to the door for our tools and cases. If keys are missing, check pockets, bags, and recent vehicle stops so we can decide whether to rekey or cut new blanks. If a lock was forced, take photos and move valuables out of immediate reach; we’ll document damage and talk through secure choices for the door and frame before starting work.
Have a form of ID that matches the property name or lease, and, if you can, bring any remaining keys or lock cards with you. Note the lock type if you know it: deadbolt, knob lock, mortise, and whether there’s a keypad or electronic strike on the door. If the door is metal with a welded jamb or wood with long screws in the strike, tell us; those clues help us bring the right reinforcement parts. We serve Aldan and nearby areas including Clifton Heights and aim to handle the lock itself where it fails.

Our own work
Hardware we work on
We begin by assessing the vehicle’s lock type and gap access. When possible we open cars by manipulating the lock cylinder or by using long-reach tools designed to operate interior lock knobs and handles. If a trim panel must come off, we use careful pry points to avoid cracking plastic or bending metal, then reassemble cleanly.
We can almost always extract a broken key fragment from a cylinder without replacing the entire lock. We use tiny extractors, picks or a plug follower to remove the core and the bit, then inspect for damaged teeth or burrs. If the cylinder is compromised, we replace just the cylinder so existing hardware stays in place.
After a fresh attempt, the police are the first call; leave the door as it is until they are done. First we secure the opening by fitting a temporary deadbolt or reinforcing latch, then evaluate strike plate alignment, bolt condition, and the cylinder. Where metal is bent we straighten or replace the latch and strike; for a ruined cylinder we swap in a new one that fits your existing knob or deadbolt. We leave the door functioning properly.
