Folcroft’s housing ranges from century-old homes with original mortise locks to newer construction with modern deadbolt systems. We handle every type of residential lock situation you’ll encounter in Delaware County.
Your home’s security needs depend on your specific situation. New homeowners need complete rekeying to ensure previous owners can’t access the property. Families with teenagers need convenient solutions that don’t compromise security. Older residents want reliable locks that operate smoothly without sticking or jamming.
We stock manufacturer-approved parts from Kwikset, Medeco, and Schlage because quality components last longer and perform better. Whether you need emergency lockout service, deadbolt installation, mailbox lock replacement, or electronic lock programming, we handle the complete job during one service call. Folcroft homeowners choose us because we show up fast, work clean, and use parts that actually last.
We typically arrive within 20-30 minutes for emergency lockouts throughout Folcroft and Delaware County. Our mobile technicians are positioned strategically to provide the fastest possible response when you’re locked out of your home, car, or business.
Our dispatch system immediately identifies which technician is closest to your specific Folcroft location and sends them directly to you. Unlike companies that give you 2-4 hour windows, we understand that lockout emergencies need immediate attention, especially during bad weather or late hours.
Each mobile unit carries a complete inventory of tools and parts, so we can solve most lock problems on the spot without return trips or delays. When you’re standing outside your locked door, every minute matters.
Never. Professional lockout service means getting you back inside without creating additional expensive problems. Our technicians use specialized tools and proven techniques designed specifically for non-destructive entry methods.
After 140+ years in business, we’ve developed methods that preserve your property while solving your access problem. Damaging your door frame, breaking windows, or splintering wood would just create more costly repairs on top of your locksmith bill.
We carry the proper equipment for safe entry on every service call. Our goal is getting you back inside quickly and cleanly, leaving your property in exactly the same condition we found it – just with you on the right side of the door.
Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your existing locks so old keys stop working immediately while new keys operate all your rekeyed locks perfectly. This process costs much less than replacing entire lock sets and can be completed quickly during one service visit.
We remove each lock cylinder, replace the internal pins to match your new key pattern, reassemble everything properly, and test each lock for smooth operation. You receive a complete set of new keys that work on all rekeyed locks throughout your home.
This service is especially valuable for new Folcroft homeowners who need to ensure previous owners, contractors, or real estate agents can no longer access the property. We can typically rekey multiple locks during the same appointment, securing your entire home efficiently.
Yes, we specialize in difficult key cutting that other locksmiths often can’t handle. Our Prospect Park storefront maintains extensive inventory and equipment specifically for vintage locks, unusual key blanks, and specialty hardware no longer commonly available.
Many Folcroft homes feature original mortise locks, antique door hardware, and unique locking systems that require specialized knowledge and proper equipment. Four generations of experience means we’ve encountered virtually every type of lock and key combination over the decades.
We stock hard-to-find key blanks and maintain professional cutting equipment for these challenging situations. When other locksmiths say “impossible,” we usually have the blank and the expertise to cut your key correctly the first time.
Service costs depend on the specific work needed, time of day, and complexity of your particular lock system. We always provide clear, upfront pricing before beginning any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying without hidden fees or surprise charges.
Emergency lockout service typically costs significantly less than the property damage you’d cause trying to get in yourself. Rekeying multiple locks costs much less than full replacement, and we can often handle several locks during the same visit for additional efficiency.
We believe in transparent pricing that reflects quality workmanship and the value of solving your problem correctly the first time. Our rates are fair for the level of expertise and reliability you receive from Delaware County’s largest locksmith operation.
Absolutely. We service everything from residential lockouts to complex commercial security installations throughout Folcroft and all of Delaware County. Our technicians are equipped and trained to work on standard home locks as well as high-security commercial systems.
For Folcroft businesses, we understand that lockout emergencies cost real money in lost sales, delayed openings, and frustrated customers. Commercial calls receive priority response, and we can handle security upgrades like master key systems, access control, and complete rekeying during the same emergency visit.
Whether you need a simple house key duplicated or comprehensive commercial security assessment, we have the expertise, equipment, and parts inventory to handle jobs of any size properly and efficiently.
