You’re not just getting back inside your house or car. You’re getting peace of mind that your locks work properly and your family stays safe.
Most lockouts happen at the worst possible times – early morning when you’re rushing to work, late at night when you’re carrying groceries, or during bad weather when you just want to get inside. We understand that being locked out isn’t just inconvenient, it’s stressful and sometimes scary.
When we’re done, your locks work smoothly, your keys turn easily, and you have backup solutions in place so this doesn’t happen again. You get reliable access to your home without worrying about security vulnerabilities or calling us back next month.
Our family has been helping Trainer residents with lock problems since the late 1800s. We’re not some fly-by-night operation – we’re the neighbors you can count on.
Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy run the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley from our Prospect Park storefront, just minutes from Trainer. We’ve seen every type of lock problem you can imagine, and we’ve solved them all.
In a small community like Trainer where everyone knows everyone, your reputation matters. That’s why we show up when we say we will, charge fair prices, and stand behind our work with real warranties.
You call us with your lock problem. We ask a few quick questions to understand what you’re dealing with and grab the right tools.
Our mobile technician heads to your Trainer location – usually within 20-30 minutes. We assess the situation, explain your options, and give you an upfront price before starting any work.
Most residential lockouts take 10-15 minutes to resolve without damaging your door or lock. For rekeying or new installations, we complete the work on-site with professional-grade parts. You test everything before we leave, and you get keys that actually work properly.

We handle everything from emergency lockouts to complete security upgrades for Trainer homeowners. Residential rekeying services, new lock installation, deadbolt services, and electronic lock systems are all part of what we do daily.
Trainer’s housing mix of rowhomes, duplexes, and bungalows from the early 1900s to early 2000s means we work with every type of door and lock configuration. Whether you’ve got original hardware that needs updating or modern locks that aren’t working properly, we have the parts and expertise to fix it right.
With property values in Trainer ranging from $70,000 to $235,000, smart security investments protect your biggest asset. We help you choose lock upgrades that make sense for your home and budget without overselling you on features you don’t need.
We typically arrive in Trainer within 20-30 minutes for emergency lockouts. Our mobile technicians are based in nearby Prospect Park, so we cover Trainer faster than companies coming from Philadelphia or other distant locations.
When you call, we immediately dispatch our closest available technician because we understand that being locked out isn’t just inconvenient – it can be unsafe, especially at night or in bad weather. We don’t make you wait hours wondering when help will arrive.
Our response time depends on factors like traffic and weather, but we always give you a realistic timeframe when you call and update you if anything changes.
No. Professional lockout service means getting you inside without creating expensive damage that you’ll have to repair later. We use specialized tools and techniques designed specifically for different types of residential locks.
Damaging your door, frame, or lock during an emergency would just create more problems and cost you more money. Our technicians are trained in non-destructive entry methods that preserve your property while solving your immediate problem.
If we encounter a situation where some damage might be unavoidable, we’ll explain your options and get your approval before proceeding. But in over 140 years of locksmithing, we’ve developed methods that work without breaking things.
Yes, and we can do it immediately during the same service call. Rekeying changes the internal mechanism of your existing locks so old keys stop working while new keys are cut for you on-site.
This is much faster and less expensive than replacing all your locks. We can rekey most standard residential locks in about 10-15 minutes each, and you’ll have new keys that work perfectly before we leave your property.
Rekeying is also smart when you move into a new home, lose keys, or have security concerns about who might have copies. It gives you complete control over who can access your home without the expense of buying all new hardware.
Yes, we install and service all types of electronic locks, smart locks, and keyless entry systems. This includes popular brands like Kwikset, Schlage, and other electronic lock manufacturers that integrate with home automation systems.
Smart locks are particularly useful for Trainer homeowners who want to provide access to family members, service providers, or house sitters without distributing physical keys. You can control access remotely and see who enters your home and when.
We’ll assess your existing door hardware to ensure compatibility and recommend the best electronic lock options for your specific needs and budget. Installation typically takes 30-45 minutes, and we’ll show you how to use all the features before we leave.
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys don’t work, while replacement means installing completely new lock hardware. Rekeying costs much less and works perfectly when your current locks are in good condition.
Replacement makes sense when your locks are worn out, damaged, or you want to upgrade to higher security or electronic options. We’ll examine your current hardware and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your situation.
For most Trainer homeowners dealing with lost keys, tenant changes, or basic security updates, rekeying solves the problem at a fraction of the cost of replacement while providing the same security benefits.
Yes, we cut keys for mailboxes, filing cabinets, padlocks, and most other small locks right at our Prospect Park storefront. We keep a large inventory of key blanks and have the equipment to handle unusual or hard-to-find keys.
Many hardware stores can’t cut specialty keys or don’t have the right blanks in stock. We’ve been doing this for over 140 years, so we’ve seen every type of key and lock combination you can imagine.
If you bring the lock or an existing key to our shop, we can usually make duplicates while you wait. For broken keys or locks without existing keys, we can often create new ones using specialized techniques and equipment.
