You’re not calling three different places or waiting until tomorrow. One call gets your car unlocked, your transponder key programmed, or your ignition working again.
Most jobs get handled while you wait. No scheduling headaches, no multiple trips, no wondering if it’ll work when you turn the key. You walk away knowing your car starts every time.
That’s what 140 years of locksmithing experience looks like when it matters most.
McCausland Lock Service has been solving car key problems since the late 1800s. Fourth-generation locksmith Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy run the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley from our Prospect Park location.
When Glenolden residents get locked out at the grocery store or need a transponder key programmed, they’re not calling some random 1-800 number. They’re calling the locksmith family that’s been helping Delaware County drivers for over a century.
We know every car lock problem because we’ve fixed them all before. Multiple times.

Modern cars in Glenolden use sophisticated security systems. Transponder keys, proximity fobs, push-button start systems – each one needs precise programming to work with your specific vehicle.
We handle all of it. Traditional metal keys, chip keys, remote fobs, and the latest smart key technology. Our mobile units carry programming equipment for most makes and models, from basic domestic vehicles to luxury European cars with advanced security features.
Delaware County drivers choose us over dealerships because we provide the same quality service at a fraction of the cost, and we come to you instead of making you tow your car across town.
Our automotive locksmith services cost significantly less than dealership prices while providing the same quality work. Basic car lockouts typically start around $75, while key programming and replacement services vary based on your vehicle’s make, model, and key type.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. Most customers find our rates 40-60% lower than what dealers charge for identical services. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges – just honest pricing for professional automotive locksmith work.
We program transponder keys and remote fobs for most domestic and foreign vehicles. Our mobile technicians carry advanced programming equipment that works with the majority of car makes and models sold in the US market.
Each transponder key contains a unique microchip programmed to communicate with your specific vehicle’s computer system. We use factory-authorized programming procedures to ensure your new key works perfectly with your car’s security system. If we can’t program your specific vehicle, we’ll let you know upfront rather than waste your time.
Most Glenolden car lockouts get 20-30 minute response times during normal hours. We prioritize emergency lockout calls because we understand you’re not just inconvenienced – you might have appointments, children waiting, or other urgent situations.
Our mobile fleet covers Delaware County from our Prospect Park location, and we dispatch the closest available technician to your location. Weather and traffic can affect timing, but we keep you updated and get there as quickly as safely possible. Emergency situations get priority response over routine service calls.
Never. Professional automotive locksmith service means getting you back into your car without creating expensive damage that costs more than the original problem.
Our technicians use specialized tools and techniques designed specifically for automotive lockout situations. We work with your car’s existing access points and locking mechanisms, not against them. Damaging your vehicle during an emergency would just create bigger headaches and higher costs for you. We focus exclusively on safe, non-destructive entry methods that protect your investment.
Yes, we provide automotive locksmith services throughout Glenolden and all of Delaware County. Our mobile technicians regularly service Prospect Park, Media, Upper Darby, Chester, Springfield, and surrounding communities.
As the largest locksmith company in the Delaware Valley, we have the coverage and resources to reach you quickly no matter where you are in the area. Our Prospect Park location serves as our dispatch center, but our mobile units travel throughout the region to handle automotive emergencies wherever they happen.
Yes, we can create new keys even when you’ve lost every key to your vehicle. Our technicians use your vehicle identification number (VIN) and specialized equipment to cut and program replacement keys on-site.
This process requires proof of vehicle ownership for security purposes, but once verified, we can generate new keys for most vehicles without needing an original to copy from. The new keys will work with your ignition, doors, and any electronic systems just like the originals. We typically cut multiple keys during the same service call so you have spares.
