The McCausland family has been solving lock and key problems since the late 1800s. Fourth-generation locksmith Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy now run Delaware Valley’s largest locksmith operation from our Prospect Park storefront, just minutes from Aldan.
We’re not some fly-by-night operation or a call center dispatching random contractors. We’re your neighbors, with real technicians, real parts inventory, and a real commitment to Aldan and Delaware County families. When you call McCausland, you’re getting a piece of local history – expertise that’s been passed down through four generations.
Aldan residents know they can count on us because we’ve been here through everything. We understand the unique needs of Delaware County drivers, from the daily commuters heading to Philadelphia to families managing busy schedules around local schools and activities. That local knowledge makes a difference when you need reliable automotive locksmith services.

We handle every type of automotive lock and key service for Aldan drivers. Car lockouts, transponder key programming, proximity key fob services, car key remote fobs, ignition repair & replacement, and emergency key cutting. If it involves your vehicle’s locks or keys, we’ve got the solution.
Delaware County residents drive everything from older vehicles with traditional keys to the newest cars with push-button start systems and proximity key fobs. We service all makes and models with the right equipment and expertise for your specific vehicle. Our technicians stay current with the latest automotive security technology, so whether you drive a 2005 Honda or a 2024 Tesla, we can help.
Our mobile automotive locksmith service means you don’t waste time driving to a shop or waiting for parts to be ordered. We bring the complete solution directly to your location in Aldan – whether you’re at home on Providence Road, stuck at work, or dealing with a car lockout at the local shopping center. With Aldan’s busy commuter schedule and 72% of residents driving to work, we understand that every minute counts.
Our automotive locksmith services typically cost 40-60% less than what car dealerships charge for the same work. Dealerships often mark up parts significantly and charge premium labor rates because they know you’re stuck without alternatives.
We use OEM parts when needed but don’t add the excessive markup that dealerships do. Most car key programming, lockout service, and ignition repairs cost a fraction of dealership prices while delivering the same quality results. For example, a transponder key replacement that costs $300+ at the dealership typically runs $150-200 through our service.
The savings are even better when you factor in convenience. Dealerships require appointments, often days in advance, and you’ll need to arrange transportation to get there. Our mobile service comes to you in Aldan, completing most jobs while you wait. No lost time from work, no arranging rides, no sitting in waiting rooms.
Absolutely. Creating new keys when you’ve lost all originals is one of our most common emergency services for Aldan residents. This situation is more stressful than a simple lockout because you can’t even prove ownership easily, but we handle it professionally.
Our technicians use specialized equipment to read your vehicle’s lock cylinders and ignition, then cut new keys to the exact specifications. For newer vehicles with transponder chips or proximity key fobs, we program the new keys to work with your car’s immobilizer system. We verify ownership through registration, insurance cards, or other documentation before beginning work.
The entire process typically takes 45-90 minutes depending on your vehicle’s complexity, and it’s completed on-site in Aldan. No towing to a dealership, no waiting days for parts to arrive, no paying premium emergency fees. We understand this situation is stressful enough without adding unnecessary complications or delays.
Yes, we provide round-the-clock emergency automotive locksmith service throughout Aldan and Delaware County. Car emergencies don’t respect business hours, and we know that being locked out of your vehicle at 10 PM or having your key break on a Sunday morning creates real problems.
Our emergency response time is typically 20-30 minutes for most Aldan locations. We understand that being locked out disrupts your entire day, especially when you’re trying to get to work, pick up family members, or handle other time-sensitive responsibilities.

We program and service all types of automotive keys and remotes, including traditional transponder keys, proximity key fobs, push-button start systems, and car key remote fobs. Our equipment works with virtually every vehicle make and model sold in the US market over the past 25 years.
This includes reprogramming existing remotes when they stop working, programming replacement keys when originals are lost or damaged, adding spare keys to your vehicle’s system, and car key battery change services. We also handle more complex proximity key fob services for newer vehicles with keyless entry and push-button start.
Most car key programming is completed within 15-30 minutes while you wait at your Aldan location. We test everything thoroughly before completing the job to ensure your new keys and remotes work perfectly with your vehicle’s systems. If your key fob just needs a battery replacement, we can handle that immediately and often carry the most common battery types in our mobile units.

Our mobile technicians carry replacement ignition cylinders for most vehicle makes and models in our service area. We can often repair existing cylinders when the problem is minor, which saves you money compared to full replacement. For more complex issues, we provide complete ignition replacement with new keys programmed to match.
Ignition repair typically takes 45-90 minutes depending on your vehicle’s steering column complexity and security systems. We ensure new ignition cylinders work perfectly with your existing keys or provide new keys programmed specifically for the replacement. All ignition work is guaranteed, and we test everything thoroughly including starter function and steering lock operation before considering the job complete.

When you’re locked out, we understand every minute feels like an hour, especially if you’re running late for work or have family members waiting. That’s why we prioritize lockout calls and dispatch the closest available technician immediately. We’ll give you an accurate arrival time when you call and update you if anything changes.
