You’ll have perfectly cut spare keys that turn smoothly and work reliably every time you use them. No more worrying about getting locked out of your Upper Chichester home during Pennsylvania winters or when you’re rushing to work.
Your keys are cut to factory specifications using professional-grade equipment, not the cheap machines you’ll find at big box stores. This means they’ll last longer and won’t wear out your locks over time.
You get peace of mind knowing your spare keys are made by locksmiths who’ve been perfecting their craft since the 1800s, right here in Delaware County.
We’ve been serving Upper Chichester families since the McCausland family started locksmithing in the late 1800s. Chuck and Tom McCausland represent the fourth generation of expertise, following their father Walt’s footsteps.
We’re the largest locksmith company in the Delaware Valley, but we still operate with the same family values that built our reputation. Our Prospect Park storefront is just minutes from Upper Chichester, making us your most convenient choice for professional key duplication.
Upper Chichester residents appreciate quality and reliability – values that align perfectly with our century-plus commitment to doing the job right the first time.
You bring your original key to our Prospect Park location, just a few minutes from Upper Chichester. We examine your key to determine the best cutting method and select the appropriate blank.
Our precision key-cutting equipment creates an exact duplicate to factory specifications. We test the new key to ensure it operates smoothly before handing it to you.
Most residential keys are completed while you wait, typically within minutes. For specialty or high-security keys, we’ll let you know the timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly.

We duplicate standard house keys, deadbolt keys, patio door keys, and even those hard-to-find specialty keys that other places can’t handle. Our extensive key blank inventory means we can usually make your duplicate on the spot.
Upper Chichester homeowners often need duplicates for new family members, house sitters, or emergency backup. We cut keys for all major lock brands including Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, and Baldwin.
High-security keys require special authorization and equipment – something many hardware stores and big box retailers can’t provide. Our professional-grade machines and extensive experience ensure even complex keys are duplicated accurately.
Standard residential key duplication typically costs between $2-5 per key, depending on the type and complexity. This is significantly less than emergency lockout service calls, which can run $100-200 or more.
High-security or specialty keys may cost more due to restricted blanks and additional cutting requirements. We’ll always quote the price upfront before starting any work.
Unlike some locksmith scams in the area, we don’t charge hidden fees or surprise service charges for simple key duplication. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Most standard residential keys are duplicated within 2-5 minutes while you wait. We keep common key blanks in stock, so there’s usually no waiting for special orders.
Specialty keys or high-security locks may take 10-15 minutes depending on the cutting requirements and testing needed. We’ll let you know the timeframe when you arrive.
For Upper Chichester residents, our Prospect Park location is convenient enough that even if you need to wait, you’re not traveling far from home.
“Do Not Duplicate” markings are requests, not legal restrictions in Pennsylvania. However, we respect property owners’ security concerns and follow professional guidelines.
For residential keys, we’ll duplicate them if you can demonstrate ownership of the property or have proper authorization. This might include showing ID that matches the address or providing documentation.
High-security keys with actual legal restrictions require proper authorization from the lock manufacturer or system administrator before we can duplicate them.
If a key we’ve duplicated doesn’t work smoothly, bring it back immediately and we’ll examine both the original and duplicate to identify the issue. Sometimes the original key is worn and needs adjustment.
We stand behind our work and will re-cut the key at no charge if our cutting was the problem. Our precision equipment and experienced technicians make this rare, but we take responsibility when it happens.
Most key problems occur when people use worn originals or when hardware store machines aren’t properly calibrated. Our professional-grade equipment and regular maintenance prevent these issues.
Our mobile locksmith service covers Upper Chichester for emergency lockouts and lock repairs, but key duplication is most efficiently handled at our Prospect Park storefront where we have all our equipment and key blank inventory.
The drive from anywhere in Upper Chichester to our shop takes just a few minutes, and you’ll have your duplicated keys faster than waiting for a mobile service call.
For multiple keys or ongoing needs, visiting our storefront is more cost-effective and convenient than mobile service charges.
Most Upper Chichester homeowners benefit from having 2-3 spare keys beyond their daily-use set. One spare should be securely stored inside your home, one with a trusted neighbor or family member, and one in a secure location outside.
Consider your family situation – if you have teenage children, elderly parents nearby, or frequently have house sitters, you might need additional copies. It’s better to have them made when you’re not under pressure.
Avoid hiding keys under fake rocks or door mats, which are obvious to potential intruders. A lockbox or giving spares to trusted neighbors is much more secure for Upper Chichester residents.
