The McCausland family has been solving lock problems since the late 1800s. Today, fourth-generation locksmith Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy run the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley from our Prospect Park storefront.

You get comprehensive automotive locksmith services that cover everything from basic car lockouts to advanced transponder key programming. We handle key fob replacement, car key battery changes, proximity key services, and ignition repair for all vehicle makes and models.
Delaware County drivers deal with increasingly complex car security systems. Modern vehicles use transponder keys, proximity fobs, and electronic ignition systems that require specialized knowledge and equipment. We stay current with the latest automotive security technology so you don’t get stuck with a locksmith who can’t handle your car’s specific needs.
Local Manoa residents benefit from our Prospect Park storefront location, which means faster response times and immediate access to key cutting services. We stock key blanks for most vehicle makes and have the programming equipment needed for the cars commonly driven in the Delaware County area.
We typically respond to automotive locksmith emergencies in Manoa within 20-30 minutes during normal business hours. Our mobile locksmith service covers the entire Delaware County area from our Prospect Park location, which puts us close to most Manoa locations.
Response times can vary based on traffic conditions and your exact location, but we prioritize automotive emergencies because we understand you can’t afford to be stuck waiting around. When you’re locked out of your car, every minute counts, especially if you’re trying to get to work or pick up kids from school.
We dispatch immediately when you call and give you a realistic arrival time so you can plan accordingly. Most car lockout situations get resolved within minutes once we arrive on scene.
Yes, we program transponder keys and key fobs for virtually all vehicle makes and models, including newer cars with advanced security systems. Our equipment handles everything from basic chip keys to proximity fobs and push-button start systems.
Modern cars use transponder technology to prevent theft – the key contains a microchip that must match your car’s security system for the engine to start. We have the specialized programming tools needed to sync new keys with your vehicle’s computer system, which is something most general locksmiths can’t handle.
We also cut and program replacement keys even if you’ve lost all your original keys. Using your vehicle’s VIN number and proper identification, we can create new keys that work perfectly with your car’s security system.
Our automotive locksmith services typically cost 30-50% less than what car dealerships charge for the same work. Dealerships often mark up locksmith services significantly because they’re outsourcing the work anyway, then adding their profit margin on top.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. There are no hidden fees, surprise charges, or inflated labor costs. You get professional service at fair prices because we’re the actual locksmiths doing the work, not a middleman.
For example, key fob programming that might cost $200-300 at a dealership typically runs $100-150 through our direct service. You get the same quality work with OEM parts, but without the dealership markup and waiting around their service department.
Absolutely. Our mobile locksmith service comes directly to your location anywhere in Manoa, PA and the surrounding Delaware County area. Whether you’re stuck in a parking lot, at your home, or on the side of the road, we bring our fully equipped service vehicle to you.
Our mobile units carry all the tools and equipment needed for most automotive locksmith jobs, including key cutting machines, programming devices, and replacement parts. This means we can handle your car key problems on-site without you having to arrange towing or transportation to a shop.
Mobile service is often more convenient and faster than traditional shop-based locksmith services. You don’t waste time driving around or waiting in line – we come to you, fix your problem while you wait, and you’re back to your day in minutes.
First, try replacing the battery in your key fob – this solves about 80% of key fob problems and costs just a few dollars. Most key fobs use standard watch batteries that you can find at any pharmacy or grocery store. If the battery replacement doesn’t fix the issue, then you likely need professional reprogramming.
Key fobs can lose their programming due to electrical interference, dead batteries that stayed dead too long, or internal component failure. Sometimes multiple key fobs stop working at once, which usually indicates a problem with the car’s receiver rather than the fobs themselves.
We can diagnose key fob problems quickly and either reprogram your existing fob or provide a replacement that’s properly synced to your vehicle. Don’t wait too long to address key fob issues – if your backup fob fails too, you could end up completely locked out of your car.
We handle most car ignition problems that are lock-related, including stuck keys, worn ignition cylinders, and ignition switch issues. If your key won’t turn, gets stuck in the ignition, or the ignition feels loose or wobbly, those are typically locksmith problems rather than mechanical issues.
However, if your car starts fine but has engine performance problems, electrical issues, or other mechanical symptoms, you’ll need a qualified mechanic. We can usually tell the difference during our initial diagnosis and will refer you to a trusted mechanic if your problem is outside our expertise.
Many ignition problems that people assume require expensive mechanical repairs are actually simple locksmith fixes. Worn ignition cylinders, damaged keys, or faulty ignition switches can often be repaired or replaced much more affordably than you might expect.
