Our family has been helping Delaware County residents with 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 location.
We’ve seen every type of car lock problem you can imagine. When newer security systems started showing up in vehicles, we invested in the training and equipment to handle them properly. That’s why we can work on everything from older models to the latest 2025 cars with advanced transponder systems.
You’re getting more than a locksmith when you call us. You’re getting a piece of Delaware County history and the kind of service that keeps families coming back for generations. We use OEM parts, so your repair lasts longer and you won’t need us again next month.
When you call, we dispatch our closest mobile technician to your location in Millbourne. Most of the time, we’re there within 20-30 minutes, depending on where you are and what’s happening with traffic.
Our technician arrives with a fully stocked van that has the tools and parts needed for your specific situation. We assess what’s wrong, explain what we need to do, and give you a clear price before we start any work. No surprises, no hidden fees.

We handle the full range of automotive locksmith needs for Millbourne residents. Car lockouts, key replacement, transponder key programming, ignition repair, and key fob services for all makes and models. Whether you drive a basic older vehicle or the latest model with push-button start, we have the equipment to work on it.
Delaware County drivers deal with specific challenges. Winter weather creates more lockout situations. Summer heat can cause key fobs to malfunction. Millbourne’s proximity to Philadelphia means residents often need fast service to get to work or appointments in the city.
We stock the most common key blanks and fobs right in our mobile units. For more complex programming jobs or specialty keys, we can often handle those at our Prospect Park shop the same day. You’re not waiting weeks for parts to come in or dealing with multiple service calls to get one problem fixed.
Our automotive locksmith services cost significantly less than what car dealerships charge for the same work. Basic car lockouts typically run $75-150, depending on the vehicle and situation. Key programming ranges from $100-300, which is often half what you’d pay at a dealership.
We give you the exact price before we start any work. No hidden fees, no surprise charges when we’re done. The price includes our mobile service – we come to you anywhere in Millbourne at no extra charge.
Complex jobs like ignition replacement or all-keys-lost situations cost more, but we explain everything upfront so you can make an informed decision. Most customers find our prices fair, especially when they see the quality of work and the time we save them.
We program transponder keys for virtually all vehicle makes and models, from domestic cars to European and Asian imports. Our equipment handles everything from basic transponder chips to the latest proximity keys and push-button start systems.
Modern vehicles use sophisticated security systems that require specialized programming tools. We’ve invested in professional-grade equipment that connects directly to your car’s computer system. This lets us program new keys, delete lost keys from memory, and handle complex situations like when all keys are lost.
Some vehicles require specific procedures or have security protocols that take additional time. We’re upfront about this during our initial assessment. The vast majority of programming jobs get completed while you wait, usually within 30-60 minutes depending on your vehicle’s system.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency automotive locksmith services throughout Millbourne and Delaware County. Car emergencies don’t happen on a schedule, so we maintain mobile technicians ready to respond day or night.
Emergency situations get priority response. If you’re locked out in bad weather, stuck in an unsafe location, or dealing with a security concern, we understand the urgency. Our goal is to get a technician to you within 20-30 minutes whenever possible.
Emergency service does carry a higher rate than regular business hours, but we’re transparent about pricing when you call. Many customers find the peace of mind and fast response worth the additional cost, especially when they’re in a difficult situation.
Most car key programming takes 15-45 minutes, depending on your vehicle’s security system and the type of key being programmed. Basic transponder keys are usually the fastest, while proximity keys and push-button start systems can take longer.
We program keys while you wait in most cases. Our mobile units carry the diagnostic equipment needed to connect to your car’s computer system and complete the programming on-site. You don’t need to leave your vehicle with us or make multiple trips.
Some complex situations, like when all keys are lost or there are problems with the vehicle’s immobilizer system, can take longer. We assess the situation first and give you a realistic timeframe before we start work. If a job requires more time than expected, we keep you informed throughout the process.
Don’t try to remove a broken key yourself – you could push it deeper or damage the ignition cylinder. Turn off the engine if it’s running, remove any pressure from the key, and call us for professional extraction.
We have specialized tools designed to remove broken keys without damaging your ignition. In most cases, we can extract the broken piece and get you a new key cut and programmed on the spot. The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes.
If the broken key damaged the ignition cylinder, we can assess whether it needs repair or replacement. We carry common ignition parts in our mobile units and can often complete repairs the same day. This saves you the cost and hassle of towing your vehicle to a shop.
Yes, we can make car keys without the original in most situations. We use your vehicle’s VIN number to look up the key code and cut a new key that matches your car’s locks and ignition. This works for both traditional keys and modern transponder keys.
For vehicles with transponder systems, we not only cut the new key but also program it to work with your car’s immobilizer. This requires connecting to your vehicle’s computer system and following specific procedures for your make and model.
The process typically takes 45-90 minutes depending on your vehicle. We need to verify ownership through registration or title documents before making keys without an original. This protects you and ensures we’re only making keys for legitimate vehicle owners.
