We typically arrive within 20-30 minutes for emergency lockout calls in Chadds Ford, depending on your exact location and current traffic conditions. Our service area covers all of Chadds Ford Township and surrounding areas in Delaware County.
We understand that being locked out of your home is stressful, especially during extreme weather or late at night. That’s why we maintain emergency availability and keep our response times as short as possible.

Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of your existing locks so old keys no longer work, while new keys operate the locks perfectly. This is typically less expensive than replacing all your locks and can usually be completed in one visit.
For most Chadds Ford homes, we can rekey standard deadbolts, door knobs, and lever sets to work with a single new key. This gives you convenience while ensuring complete security from any previous key holders.
The process takes about 15-20 minutes per lock, and we can often rekey multiple locks to work with the same key for added convenience. We’ll also provide you with several copies of your new keys so you have spares when you need them.
Yes, we install and program smart locks that integrate with popular home automation platforms including Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and others. We’ll help you choose the right smart lock based on your existing system and security needs.
Smart lock installation involves more than just mounting the hardware – we ensure proper connectivity, test all features, and show you how to use the app controls effectively. We also verify that your home’s WiFi signal is strong enough at the door location for reliable operation.
After installation, we provide guidance on setting up user codes, temporary access for guests or service providers, and integration with your other smart home devices. The goal is a system that enhances your security while being simple to use daily.
Absolutely. Many homes in Chadds Ford feature historic or specialty locks that require specific expertise to service properly. We have experience working with mortise locks, antique deadbolts, and other period-appropriate hardware.
For historic locks, we focus on preserving the original character while ensuring reliable security. This might involve careful restoration, replacement of worn internal components, or recommendations for period-appropriate upgrades that maintain your home’s aesthetic.
We also source hard-to-find parts and can often repair locks that other locksmiths might recommend replacing. Our goal is to keep your historic home’s character intact while providing the security and functionality you need.
First, try replacing the batteries if your electronic lock uses them – low power is the most common cause of electronic lock problems. If that doesn’t solve the issue, avoid forcing the lock or trying to disassemble it yourself.
Electronic locks have sensitive components that can be damaged by incorrect troubleshooting attempts. We have the diagnostic tools and technical knowledge to identify whether the problem is with the electronic components, mechanical parts, or programming.
Many electronic lock issues can be resolved without full replacement. We can reprogram codes, replace worn keypads, or repair internal mechanisms depending on what’s causing the malfunction. Call us for proper diagnosis rather than risking damage to an expensive lock system.
Signs that indicate lock repair might be sufficient include keys that turn roughly, locks that stick occasionally, or minor alignment issues with door hardware. These problems can often be resolved with cleaning, lubrication, or adjustment of internal components.
Complete replacement is typically necessary when locks are severely worn, damaged by attempted break-ins, or when you’re upgrading to higher security or smart lock technology. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
During our evaluation, we consider factors like the age of your locks, the condition of your door hardware, and your security goals. We’ll explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision about repair versus replacement based on your needs and budget.
