Hear from Our Customers
You don’t need to wait weeks for a dealership appointment or pay their inflated prices. We handle all major makes and models right here in Delaware County, programming your keys and fobs while you wait.
Our mobile service comes to you with fully stocked vans, so whether you’re stuck at home, work, or on the roadside, we’ll get you sorted without the runaround. No towing required, no leaving your car overnight at some shop.
Your time matters. That’s why we do the work on-site, test everything before we leave, and charge you a fraction of what the dealer would.
Our family has been solving lock and key problems since the late 1800s. We’re now on our fourth generation of locksmiths, with the fifth generation already learning the trade.
That’s not just family history—it’s proof we know how to adapt. From the old mechanical keys your grandfather used to today’s proximity fobs and transponder chips, we’ve seen it all and fixed it all.
We’re the largest locksmith company serving the Delaware Valley, but we still operate like the local family business we’ve always been. When you call us, you’re getting over a century of combined experience, not some fly-by-night operation.
First, you call us and explain what’s happening. Locked out? Lost keys? Key won’t turn? We’ve heard it all, and we’ll give you a straight answer about timing and cost upfront.
Next, one of our technicians comes to you in a fully stocked service van. No waiting around wondering if they’ll have the right parts—we carry keys, fobs, and programming equipment for virtually every make and model on the road.
Finally, we fix your problem on the spot. Whether it’s unlocking your car without damage, cutting and programming new keys, or repairing a faulty ignition, we test everything before we leave to make sure you’re completely sorted.
Ready to get started?
We handle every type of car key situation you can think of. Lost keys, broken keys, keys that won’t program, remotes that stopped working, ignitions that won’t turn—if it involves getting into or starting your car, we’ve got you covered.
Our service includes transponder key programming, proximity key fob services, traditional key cutting, ignition repair and replacement, and emergency lockout assistance. We work on everything from basic mechanical keys to the latest smart key technology.
Here in Cheyney and throughout Delaware County, we see a lot of newer vehicles with advanced security systems. The good news is we stay current with the technology, so whether you drive a 2005 Honda or a 2024 Tesla, we have the equipment and expertise to help.
The cost varies depending on your car’s make, model, and year, but you’ll pay significantly less than dealership prices. Most key programming jobs run between $100-300, while dealers often charge $400-600 for the same service.
We give you an upfront quote over the phone, so there are no surprises. The price includes cutting the key, programming it to your car’s computer, and testing everything to make sure it works properly.
Keep in mind that newer cars with proximity keys or smart fobs cost more to replace than basic transponder keys, but we’ll explain exactly what your car needs and why.
Yes, we can create new keys even if you’ve lost all your originals. We use your vehicle’s VIN number to determine the correct key specifications, then cut and program new keys on-site.
The process takes a bit longer when we don’t have an original to work from, but we have the specialized equipment to handle it. You’ll need to provide proof of ownership, like your registration or title.
This service works for most vehicles, though some newer luxury cars with advanced security systems might require additional steps. We’ll let you know exactly what’s involved when you call.
Most key programming jobs take 15-45 minutes, depending on your car’s make and the type of key. Basic transponder keys are usually quicker, while proximity fobs and smart keys can take longer.
If we’re starting from scratch without an original key, add another 15-30 minutes for the cutting process. We work efficiently, but we don’t rush—getting it right the first time is more important than getting it done fast.
We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when we assess your situation. If you’re in a real bind, let us know and we’ll prioritize your job when possible.
Yes, we provide emergency lockout services throughout Cheyney and Delaware County. Our mobile technicians carry professional tools that can unlock your car without damaging the paint, weather stripping, or interior.
We understand that getting locked out never happens at a convenient time. Whether you’re late for work, stuck with kids in the car, or dealing with bad weather, we treat every call as urgent.
Our response time varies depending on location and time of day, but we typically reach most areas in Delaware County within 30-45 minutes. We’ll give you an accurate ETA when you call.
Yes, we handle ignition problems ranging from keys that won’t turn to complete ignition replacement. Common issues include worn ignition cylinders, damaged keys, or problems with the steering wheel lock mechanism.
Sometimes the fix is as simple as extracting a broken key piece or lubricating the mechanism. Other times, the entire ignition cylinder needs replacement. We’ll diagnose the problem and explain your options before starting any work.
If your key turns but the car won’t start, that’s usually an electrical issue beyond the ignition itself. We can still help with the mechanical parts, but you might need an automotive electrician for computer or wiring problems.
We’re faster, cheaper, and more convenient than dealerships. While they might make you wait days or weeks for an appointment, we come to you the same day in most cases.
Our prices are typically 30-50% lower than dealership rates because we don’t have their overhead costs. Plus, we do the work on-site instead of requiring you to tow your car or arrange alternate transportation.
We’ve been doing this for over 100 years as a family business, so we’re invested in our reputation in the community. Dealerships see you as a one-time transaction—we see you as a neighbor who might need our help again.
