Hear from Our Customers
You’ve been there. You get a key made at some big box store, and it’s a nightmare from day one. Sticks in the lock. Won’t turn smoothly. Sometimes won’t work at all.
That’s what happens when key duplication is treated like an assembly line process instead of the precision work it actually is. When you need duplicate keys for your Newtown, PA home or vehicle, you need someone who understands that every key is different.
Our key cutting isn’t guesswork or automated machinery hoping for the best. We examine your original key, select the right blank from our massive inventory, and cut your duplicate with precision equipment. Then we test it to make sure it works perfectly before you leave.
The McCausland family has been cutting keys since the 1800s. Not 10 years. Not 20 years. Over 100 years of locksmith expertise passed down through four generations.
We’re the largest locksmith company serving the Delaware Valley area, but we’re still family-owned and operated. You’ll find our physical storefront right in Prospect Park, where Newtown, PA residents have been bringing their trickiest key duplication challenges for decades.
When other shops tell you “we can’t make that key,” we’re usually the place they recommend you try next. Because when you’ve seen every type of key and lock system for over a century, there aren’t many surprises left.
Here’s what happens when you bring us a key for duplication. First, we examine your original key carefully – not just the cuts, but the wear patterns, the metal composition, and any quirks that might affect how the duplicate performs.
Next, we select the proper blank from our inventory. We stock blanks for virtually every manufacturer, including those hard-to-find keys that make other locksmiths scratch their heads. We’re talking about one of the largest key blank inventories in the Delaware Valley area.
Then comes the actual cutting. We use precision equipment, not some automated kiosk that guesses at the measurements. Every cut is deliberate and exact. Finally, we test your new key to make sure it works smoothly in your lock before you walk out the door.

Our key duplication services go way beyond basic house keys. We cut keys for high-security locks, automotive transponder keys, mailbox keys, safe keys, and those specialty keys that make other shops throw up their hands in defeat.
For Newtown, PA homeowners, this means you’re not stuck with whatever limited selection the hardware store happens to carry. We maintain blanks for vintage locks, foreign manufacturers, and security systems that most locksmiths have never even heard of.
We also understand that key emergencies don’t happen on schedule. That’s why we handle most key duplication on a walk-in basis – no appointment needed. Bring us your key, and we’ll typically have your duplicates ready in minutes, not days.
Most keys are duplicated within minutes while you wait. Standard house keys and common car keys typically take under 10 minutes from start to finish.
More complex keys like high-security or specialty automotive keys might take 15-20 minutes, but we’ll give you an accurate timeframe upfront. We don’t believe in making you guess when your keys will be ready.
The extra few minutes we spend testing every key before handing it to you means you’re getting a duplicate that actually works properly. That’s time well spent compared to dealing with a key that sticks or won’t turn.
Yes, we specialize in those “challenge keys” that stump other shops. With over 100 years of experience and one of the largest key blank inventories around, we can usually handle keys that other locksmiths can’t.
We’ve successfully duplicated keys for vintage locks from the early 1900s, foreign car manufacturers, and specialty security systems. Even if you’ve been told a key “can’t be duplicated,” bring it in and let us take a look.
What looks impossible to a newer locksmith might be something we’ve dealt with hundreds of times before. Our experience with unusual keys comes from decades of working with every type of lock and key system you can imagine.
Absolutely. Every key we duplicate is tested in our shop before you take it home. If for any reason a key we’ve made doesn’t work properly, we’ll remake it at no charge.
This is where our experience makes a real difference. We know how to read wear patterns on original keys and compensate for them in the duplicate. We also know which key blanks work best with which lock brands.
Most key problems come from using cheap blanks or imprecise cutting equipment. We use quality materials and precision machinery, then test everything to ensure you’re getting a key that works as smoothly as your original.
We duplicate virtually any key you bring us – house keys, car keys, high-security keys, mailbox keys, safe keys, and specialty commercial keys. Our extensive inventory covers most manufacturers and key types you’ll encounter.
For automotive keys, we handle everything from basic metal keys to transponder keys and key fobs. We can often duplicate car keys for significantly less than dealer prices, and usually much faster too.
If you have an unusual key or one that other shops couldn’t duplicate, bring it in. With our experience and inventory, we can usually find a solution even for the most challenging key duplication requests in Newtown, PA.
Our pricing is competitive and transparent – no surprise fees or inflated charges. We’re typically less expensive than car dealerships for automotive keys, and we provide better quality than most big box stores.
The real value isn’t just in the price, though. It’s in getting a key that actually works, cut by experienced professionals who stand behind their work. Cheap key copies that don’t work aren’t really savings at all.
We’ll give you an upfront price before starting any work, so you know exactly what to expect. No hidden fees, no last-minute surprises – just fair pricing for professional key duplication service.
No appointment needed for most key duplication services. We handle the majority of key cutting on a walk-in basis at our Prospect Park storefront, serving Newtown, PA residents.
