That’s what proper locksmith work delivers. No callbacks needed. No wondering if the repair will hold. Just reliable security that does its job so you can focus on yours.
The McCausland family has been solving lock problems since the late 1800s. What started as a father teaching his son the trade has grown into Delaware Valley’s largest locksmith operation.
Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy now run the business from our Prospect Park location, serving Bethel and the surrounding area. When you call us, you’re getting more than a service call – you’re getting a piece of local history that’s built its reputation on doing the work right the first time.
Bethel residents know they can count on us because we’ve been proving it to families in this area for over a century. We’re not going anywhere, and neither is our commitment to your security.
First, you call us with your lock issue – whether it’s an emergency lockout or planned security upgrade. We give you an honest assessment and fair pricing upfront, no surprises.
Next, our technician arrives with a fully stocked mobile unit. We carry OEM parts from trusted manufacturers like Kwikset, Medeco, and Schlage, so most jobs get completed on the spot without waiting for parts orders.
Finally, we test everything before we leave. Your locks work smoothly, your keys turn properly, and you have the security you need. We clean up our work area and make sure you’re completely satisfied before considering the job done.

Our residential services cover lock installation, deadbolt upgrades, rekeying, key cutting, and smart lock integration. We handle mailbox locks, mortise locks, electronic systems, and everything in between.
Bethel homeowners particularly appreciate our emergency lockout service – we typically arrive within 20-30 minutes and get you back inside without damaging your property. No need to break a window or call an expensive emergency service.
For planned upgrades, we help Bethel residents choose the right security level for their neighborhood and budget. Whether you want traditional high-security locks or modern smart home integration, we install systems that match how you actually live.
We typically respond to Bethel emergency lockouts within 20-30 minutes during normal business hours. Our mobile technicians are strategically positioned throughout Delaware County, so we can reach most Bethel locations quickly.
For after-hours emergencies, response times may be slightly longer, but we maintain 24/7 availability because we understand that lockouts don’t happen on a convenient schedule. When you’re locked out of your home or car, every minute feels like an hour.
We prioritize emergency calls and dispatch the closest available technician immediately. Our goal is always to get you back inside safely and quickly, without causing any damage to your property.
Rekeying changes the internal mechanism so your existing lock works with new keys, while old keys no longer function. This is perfect when you’ve lost keys, moved into a new home, or need to revoke access for former employees or tenants.
Lock replacement involves installing completely new hardware. You’d choose this option if your current locks are damaged, outdated, or you want to upgrade to higher security or smart lock technology.
Rekeying costs significantly less than replacement and can usually be done on-site within minutes. However, if your locks are old, damaged, or you want modern features like keyless entry, replacement makes more sense for long-term security and convenience.
Yes, we install and service all major smart lock brands and electronic access systems. This includes keypad locks, smartphone-controlled deadbolts, and locks that integrate with home automation systems like Alexa or Google Home.
Smart locks offer convenience features like temporary access codes for guests, remote locking and unlocking, and activity logs that show who enters your home and when. They’re particularly popular with Bethel families who want modern security without sacrificing reliability.
We handle the complete installation process, including programming your devices, setting up user codes, and ensuring everything connects properly to your home network. We also provide training so you’re comfortable using all the features your new smart locks offer.
Service call fees for standard lockouts typically range from $75-150, depending on time of day and complexity. Lock rekeying usually costs $25-35 per lock, while new lock installation ranges from $100-300 depending on the type and quality of hardware you choose.
Smart lock installation costs more due to the technology involved, typically $200-400 including the hardware. However, this is still significantly less than what most dealerships charge for automotive smart key programming and replacement.
We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. No hidden fees, no surprise charges when we finish the job. Our goal is to provide fair, competitive pricing that reflects the quality and reliability of our work.
We can cut keys for virtually any lock type, including high-security keys, automotive keys with transponder chips, and specialty keys that other locksmiths often can’t handle. Our key cutting equipment handles everything from basic house keys to complex commercial master key systems.
For automotive keys, we program transponder chips and key fobs for all major vehicle makes and models. We often have key blanks in stock that even car dealerships have to order, which means you get your replacement keys immediately instead of waiting weeks.
We also cut keys from locks when you’ve lost all copies. Using specialized tools, we can determine the correct key cuts directly from your lock mechanism, creating new keys that work perfectly without needing to replace the entire lock.
First, check if any windows or back doors are unlocked, but don’t force entry or break anything – you’ll create bigger problems and security risks. Look for spare keys you might have hidden, but avoid obvious places that burglars check first.
If you can’t find safe entry, call us immediately. Don’t attempt to pick the lock yourself or use credit cards or coat hangers – these methods rarely work on modern locks and often cause damage that’s expensive to repair.
While waiting for our technician, stay in a safe, visible location. If it’s cold or you’re not properly dressed, consider waiting in your car or asking a neighbor if you can wait inside. We’ll have you back in your home quickly and safely, typically within 30 minutes of your call.
