You’re not locked out anymore. Your keys work in every door. The person who used to have access doesn’t.
That’s what proper locksmith service looks like. No more juggling different keys for different doors. No more wondering if someone else can get into your home. No more standing outside in the cold because your lock decided to stop working.
When we finish the job, you walk up to your door with confidence. One key opens everything. Your old concerns about security are handled. You know exactly who has access and who doesn’t.
The McCausland family has been solving lock problems in Delaware County since the late 1800s. Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy now run what’s become the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley.
We’ve seen every type of lock failure, every security concern, and every emergency situation you can imagine. When you’re dealing with 140+ years of experience, there’s not much that surprises us anymore.
Our Prospect Park storefront means you can walk in anytime during business hours for key cutting, lock advice, or to see our security products in person. We’re not just another service truck driving around – we’re your neighbors.
You call us with your lock problem. We show up when we say we will – usually within 20-30 minutes for emergencies in the Secane area.
First, we assess exactly what’s going on. No guessing, no trying random solutions. We explain what needs to happen and give you a clear price before we start any work.
Then we fix it right the first time. Whether that’s getting you back inside without damaging your door, rekeying your locks so old keys don’t work, or installing new hardware that actually improves your security. We use OEM parts and manufacturer-approved methods, so the repair lasts.

We handle the full range of residential locksmith services Secane homeowners actually need. Residential rekeying services when you move in or need to change who has access. New lock installation for upgraded security or style. Emergency home lockout service that gets you back inside fast.
Deadbolt services including installation, repair, and upgrades to high-security options. Electronic locks and smart lock installation for modern convenience. Door knobs and lever replacement when your hardware fails or you want something better.
For Secane’s mix of older and newer homes, we stock parts for everything from vintage mortise locks to the latest keyless entry systems. Your mailbox locks, cabinet locks, and specialty security needs – we handle those too.
Rekeying typically costs $30-$70 per lock in the Secane area, plus a service call fee of $50-$100. For a typical 3-door house, you’re looking at around $150-$250 total.
This is significantly less expensive than replacing all your locks, especially when your existing hardware is in good condition. We can rekey multiple locks to work with the same key, which most homeowners prefer for convenience.
The exact cost depends on the type and number of locks, but we always give you a clear price before starting any work. No surprises, no hidden fees.
No, different lock brands can’t be rekeyed to use the same key. Kwikset locks work with Kwikset keys, Schlage with Schlage keys, and so on.
If you have mixed brands throughout your Secane home and want everything to work with one key, you’ll need to replace some locks so they’re all the same brand. We can help you figure out the most cost-effective approach.
Most newer homes stick with one brand, but older homes often have a mix from different renovations over the years. We’ll assess what you have and recommend the best solution for your situation and budget.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency lockout service throughout Secane and Delaware County. Our typical response time is 20-30 minutes for emergency calls in the area.
We get you back inside without damaging your door, lock, or frame. Our technicians carry the tools and expertise to handle any type of residential lock, from basic deadbolts to high-security systems.
Emergency service does cost more than scheduled appointments, but when you’re locked out, speed matters more than saving a few dollars. We’re upfront about emergency pricing so there are no surprises.
If your locks are in good working condition and you like the style, rekeying is usually the better choice. It’s cheaper and faster than full replacement.
Rekeying makes sense when you don’t know who has copies of the existing keys – which is the case for most home purchases. You keep your existing hardware but get completely new keys that render all old keys useless.
Replace your locks if they’re worn out, you want to upgrade security, or you prefer a different style. We can help you decide based on the condition of your current locks and your security goals.
We install and service all major brands of electronic locks including Kwikset, Schlage, and other top manufacturers. This includes keypad deadbolts, smart locks that connect to your phone, and keyless entry systems.
Electronic locks are popular in Secane because they eliminate the need to hide spare keys or worry about lost keys. You can give temporary codes to contractors or house sitters, then delete them when the work is done.
We’ll help you choose the right electronic lock for your needs and ensure it’s properly installed and programmed. Most installations are completed in one visit while you wait.
Most standard lock installations take 30-60 minutes per door, depending on whether we’re replacing existing hardware or installing locks on new doors.
Simple deadbolt replacement on doors with existing holes is usually the fastest. Installing locks on doors that have never had them requires drilling and can take longer.
We come prepared with the right tools and parts, so there’s rarely a need for return trips. Electronic locks and smart locks may require additional setup time for programming and testing, but we handle all of that during the initial visit.
