Where our customers find us
Emergency Locksmith
Locks fail in predictable ways: a key snaps in a cylinder, a deadbolt jams against a warped door, a knob or lever tumbler binds from corrosion, or a latch strike pulls loose from a rotten frame. In Colwyn we get calls for stuck entry doors, frozen mail-slot locks and padlocks that refuse to turn. For cars the common problems are broken key blades, transponder faults or weather-swollen door seals that pinch the latch. When you call we tell you how soon we can come and what to expect on the phone.
On arrival we assess the hardware and pick a non-destructive approach whenever possible: we try to extract a snapped key, realign a bolt and strike, or manipulate the cylinder to turn. If the mechanism is ruined we remove the cylinder, replace the core or cut a new key to the remaining blade. For long-throw deadbolts and reinforced plates we check screw length and backset before fitting a new assembly so the door will work solidly when you close it.
While you wait, clear the area around the door and have identification and proof of residency or vehicle ownership ready so we can confirm authorization to work without holding up the job. Pull any rugs or trash away from the threshold and move outdoor lights on or off if it helps visibility. If a key is stuck, leave the broken piece alone until we arrive; trying to force it with pliers often pushes fragments deeper.
We drive out from Havertown with the tools and common replacement parts we use every day: keyed cylinders, mortise cores, a selection of bolts and strike plates, key blanks and cutting equipment, plus extraction kits and battery tools. In Colwyn and nearby towns like Darby we fit cylinders to match existing hardware when possible, or advise on a heavier latch and reinforced strike if the door framing is compromised. We work on-sight only, so have the problem door or vehicle accessible when we arrive and any gate codes or locks opened for us.

Hardware we work on
We do. Tiger Locksmith is a mobile service that comes to where the lock is. We attempt non-destructive entry first, carry common replacement cylinders and hardware, and can rekey or fit a new lock on site if needed. We explain the options and the parts we use before any work begins.
We can make many types of vehicle keys and program transponder or remote heads on site for a wide range of models. We bring blanks, cutting and programming tools, and will need vehicle information and proof of ownership. If a key requires dealer-only programming, we’ll explain the next steps.
We’ve worked on locks for over 13 years, across residential, commercial and automotive systems. Pennsylvania does not license locksmiths, so we rely on practical experience, industry-standard tools, and parts, and we will describe the work and parts used.
