You need keys that actually work when you need them. Not keys that stick, jam, or break off in your lock three months later because someone rushed the job or used cheap blanks.
When you get your keys duplicated at McCausland, you’re getting precision cutting from fourth-generation locksmiths who’ve been doing this since the late 1800s. We use the right blanks, cut to exact specifications, and test every key before it leaves our shop.
Your duplicate keys work as smoothly as your originals. No fighting with sticky locks. No wondering if you’ll get locked out because your spare key doesn’t quite fit right.
Our family has been cutting keys and solving lock problems in Delaware County since the late 1800s. Today, Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy run the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley from our Prospect Park storefront.
We’re the locksmith your neighbors have trusted for generations. When Drexel Hill residents need keys duplicated, locks repaired, or emergency lockout help, they come to us because we’ve earned that trust through decades of reliable service.
You’re not just getting a key duplicated. You’re getting the expertise of Delaware County’s most established locksmith family.
Bring your original key to our Prospect Park shop. We examine it, select the correct blank from our inventory of over 60,000 options, and cut your duplicate using precision equipment.
Every key gets tested in a sample lock before you leave. If it doesn’t work perfectly, we cut another one at no charge. Most standard house keys are ready in just a few minutes while you wait.
For specialty keys or hard-to-find blanks, we have what other shops don’t. Those unusual keys that hardware stores can’t duplicate? We handle them regularly. Challenge keys are actually what we enjoy most.

We duplicate house keys, deadbolt keys, mailbox keys, and those specialty keys that give other places trouble. Our massive inventory means we can handle keys that hardware stores turn away.
Drexel Hill homeowners often need duplicates for family members, house sitters, or emergency spares. We cut multiple copies quickly and accurately, so everyone gets keys that work reliably.
For high-security keys marked “Do Not Duplicate,” we verify authorization and handle the specialized cutting these keys require. We’re authorized dealers for major lock manufacturers, so your security keys get proper treatment.
Standard house key duplication costs $2-5 per key at McCausland Lock Service. High-security keys typically run $8-20 depending on the key type and security features.
We give you exact pricing upfront – no surprises or hidden fees. Multiple keys get done at the same per-key rate, so bringing several keys to duplicate doesn’t increase the individual cost.
Unlike some shops that quote low prices then add fees, our price includes everything: the blank, cutting, testing, and our guarantee that your key works properly.
Yes, we can duplicate restricted keys, but only with proper authorization. High-security keys require proof of ownership or authorization from the lock owner.
These keys exist for important security reasons – they control access to buildings, offices, or secure areas. We take that responsibility seriously and follow all manufacturer requirements for duplicating restricted keys.
If you have legitimate authorization for a restricted key, we have the equipment and authorization to duplicate it properly. We’re authorized dealers for major security lock manufacturers.
Most standard house keys are cut and tested within 2-3 minutes while you wait. We keep common blanks in stock and use professional-grade cutting equipment for fast, accurate results.
Specialty keys or unusual blanks might take a few extra minutes while we locate the correct blank from our inventory of over 60,000 options. Even complex keys are typically ready within 10-15 minutes.
If we need to order a specific blank, we’ll let you know immediately and can usually have it within 24-48 hours. We don’t waste your time – if we can’t do it right away, we tell you exactly when it will be ready.
Every key gets tested in a sample lock before you leave our shop. If there’s any issue with how the key operates, we cut a replacement immediately at no additional charge.
Our precision cutting equipment and experienced technicians mean key problems are rare. But if you discover an issue later – maybe the key works stiffly or doesn’t turn smoothly – bring it back and we’ll make it right.
We stand behind our work because we’ve been serving Delaware County families for over 140 years. Your satisfaction matters more than a few dollars in materials.
We stock over 60,000 key blanks, including many that hardware stores and chain shops don’t carry. Older homes, antique locks, and specialty applications often need blanks that aren’t commonly available.
Our massive inventory covers most residential key types you’ll encounter in Delaware County. Those “impossible to duplicate” keys that other shops turn away? We handle them regularly.
If we don’t have your blank in stock, we can usually get it within 24-48 hours. We’ve been in business long enough to have sources for even the most obscure key blanks.
If you’ve lost all keys to a lock, we can create new keys by removing the lock cylinder and cutting keys to match the internal pins. This process takes longer than standard duplication but gives you working keys.
For your security, we require proof of ownership before cutting keys without an original. This might be a deed, lease agreement, or other documentation showing you have legal access to the property.
This service costs more than standard duplication because it involves disassembly and specialized work, but it’s much less expensive than replacing the entire lock system.
