Your key fob dies at 7 AM when you’re already running late. The dealership wants $450 and tells you to come back Thursday. That’s not how emergencies work.
We program most car key fobs in 20 minutes. Right at your location in Secane. No appointments, no leaving your car overnight, no explaining to your boss why you’re stuck without transportation.
You save 50-70% because we don’t carry dealership overhead. Same OEM parts, same programming accuracy, same reliability. Just without the markup that turns a $150 job into a $400 headache.
Our family has been getting Delaware County residents back into their cars since the 1880s. Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy run the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley from our Prospect Park location.
We know Secane. You work demanding jobs, commute to Philadelphia, and your car needs to start every single morning. When your key fob fails, you need someone who shows up fast and fixes it right the first time.
Our storefront stocks parts for immediate service. We’re not some traveling operation working out of a van. We’re your neighbors, established in this community for over a century, with the reputation and expertise that comes from four generations of locksmith work.
Call us with your vehicle information. We give you exact pricing upfront – no hidden fees, no surprise programming charges, no “we’ll see when we get there” nonsense.
Our mobile unit arrives at your Secane location equipped with key cutting equipment and programming tools. For most vehicles, everything happens on-site. No towing, no dropping off your car, no arranging rides.
We cut the new key blade to factory specifications. Then we program the fob so it communicates properly with your car’s security system. Every function gets tested – locks, trunk, panic button, remote start if equipped. We don’t leave until everything works perfectly.

We handle all key fob types – basic remote entry, transponder keys, smart keys with push-button start, proximity fobs, switchblade keys. If your car uses it, we can replace and program it.
Secane drivers face predictable key fob problems. Batteries die during winter cold snaps. Buttons stop working after years of daily use. Fobs get damaged in drops or accidents. We stock replacement batteries for quick fixes and carry OEM fobs for immediate replacement.
Our service covers key fob programming, battery replacement, button repair when possible, and complete fob replacement when necessary. We use the same diagnostic equipment dealerships use – just without their scheduling delays and inflated pricing.
Key fob replacement costs depend on your vehicle and fob type. Basic remote entry fobs run $100-200 total. Advanced smart keys with push-button start cost $200-350.
Dealerships charge $400-600 for identical service. We use the same OEM parts and programming equipment, but our costs are 50-70% lower because we don’t carry dealership overhead and markup requirements.
We provide exact pricing over the phone once you give us your vehicle details. No programming fees added later, no surprise mobile service charges, no “additional diagnostic fees” that appear on your final bill.
We program key fobs for virtually all makes and models – Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and dozens of others. Our programming equipment works with domestic, European, and Asian vehicles.
Some luxury cars and very new models require proprietary software only dealerships can access. We’ll tell you immediately if your vehicle falls into that category. We don’t waste your time attempting jobs we can’t complete properly.
For 95% of vehicles on Secane roads, we cut and program replacement key fobs the same day you call. Programming typically takes 15-30 minutes once we have the correct fob for your specific vehicle.
Most key fob jobs take 20-45 minutes total. Simple remote fobs are usually done in 20 minutes. Smart keys with push-button start take 30-45 minutes due to additional security protocols your car requires.
We cut the key blade, program the electronic components, and test every function before considering the job complete. We don’t rush – we make sure everything works correctly before leaving your location.
If we need to order a specific fob not in our mobile inventory, we typically have it within 24-48 hours. But for common vehicles in Secane, we carry the necessary parts and complete most jobs immediately.
Yes, we bring mobile key fob service directly to your location throughout Secane and Delaware County. Our service vans carry key cutting machines, programming equipment, and inventory of common fobs and batteries.
Mobile service eliminates towing costs and transportation headaches. We come to your home, office, or wherever your car is located in Secane. No additional charges for mobile service within our standard coverage area.
We typically arrive within 30-45 minutes of your call, depending on current service schedule and your specific location. Emergency situations get priority response whenever possible.
Key fob battery replacement costs $15-25 total, including the battery and service. We carry common battery types in our mobile vans and replace them on the spot.
We always check the battery before assuming you need complete fob replacement. Many key fob problems that seem major are actually just dead or weak batteries. Testing your current fob first can save significant money.
If battery replacement doesn’t restore full function, then we know you need programming service or fob replacement. But starting with the battery check eliminates unnecessary expense when that’s all the problem was.
Yes, we create new key fobs even when you’ve lost all original keys. This process requires your vehicle to be present so we can access the car’s computer system directly for programming.
We need your vehicle registration and driver’s license to verify ownership. Some vehicles require additional security procedures when all keys are lost, which adds time but doesn’t prevent us from completing the job.
Complete key replacement when all keys are lost costs $250-450 depending on your vehicle’s security system. Still significantly less than dealership pricing, but more complex than standard key fob replacement due to the additional security protocols involved.
