We’ve been helping Chadds Ford residents with their automotive locksmith needs since the late 1800s. We’re now in our fourth generation of family ownership, and we’re the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley.
That means when you call us, you’re not getting some fly-by-night operation. You’re getting a team that’s been solving car lock problems since before your great-grandparents were born.

Ready to get started?
We handle every type of automotive locksmith service Chadds Ford drivers need. Car lockouts, lost key replacement, transponder key programming, proximity key fob services, and ignition repair and replacement.
Your luxury vehicle gets the specialized attention it deserves. We work on BMWs, Audis, Mercedes-Benz, and other high-end vehicles that require advanced programming and OEM parts.
Unlike some locksmiths who only handle basic services, we stay current with the latest automotive security technology. Smart keys, push-button ignitions, proximity sensors – we program and repair them all. And because Chadds Ford residents value quality, we use manufacturer-approved parts so your repair lasts longer and you won’t be calling us again next month.
Our automotive locksmith pricing is significantly less than what you’d pay at a car dealership, typically saving you hundreds of dollars. The exact cost depends on your specific service – a simple car lockout runs much less than programming a new smart key.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. Most basic lockout services can be completed for a fraction of dealership rates.
For complex services like transponder key programming or ignition replacement, we’re still typically 40-60% less than dealership pricing while using the same quality OEM parts.

Our response time depends on your exact location and current call volume, but we prioritize automotive emergencies because we know being locked out of your car disrupts your entire day. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when you call.
