Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just getting your door unlocked. You’re getting peace of mind from a locksmith company that’s been solving security problems since the 1800s.
No more standing outside your home at midnight wondering if help will actually show up. No more worrying about whether your locks will work properly after the repair. When we handle your lockout or security upgrade, you get back to your life faster and sleep better knowing your property is secure.
Our family has been perfecting locksmith services for over 140 years. That means we’ve seen every type of lock problem, worked with every major manufacturer, and know exactly how to solve your issue without creating new ones.
We’re not some fly-by-night operation. We’re the largest locksmith company in the Delaware Valley, and we’ve been serving Glenolden and surrounding communities since the late 1800s.
Fourth-generation locksmith Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy run our operation from our Prospect Park storefront. When you call us, you’re not getting a contractor who learned locksmithing last month—you’re getting expertise that’s been passed down through four generations of the McCausland family.
We keep our storefront stocked with parts and keys because Delaware County residents need solutions now, not next week. Whether you’re dealing with a home lockout in Glenolden or need new deadbolts installed, we have what it takes to solve your problem the same day.
First, you call us and describe your situation. We dispatch our closest mobile technician immediately—usually within 20-30 minutes for Glenolden area calls.
Our technician arrives with a fully stocked mobile workshop. We assess your lock situation and explain exactly what needs to be done and what it costs before starting any work. No surprises, no inflated emergency fees.
We solve your immediate problem first. If you’re locked out, we get you back inside using non-destructive entry methods that won’t damage your door or frame. Then we can handle any additional security needs like rekeying locks, cutting new keys, or upgrading your hardware—all in the same visit if you want.
You get back to your day with working locks, new keys in hand, and the confidence that comes from using a locksmith company that’s been trusted by Delaware County families for over a century.

We handle the full spectrum of residential locksmith needs in Glenolden. We install and repair deadbolts, rekey existing locks when you move into a new home, cut keys for mailbox locks and mortise locks, and service electronic locks and smart lock systems.
Glenolden homeowners particularly appreciate our lock rekeying services when they buy new homes or need to change access after roommate situations change. Instead of replacing perfectly good locks, we rekey them so your old keys stop working and you get fresh keys that only you control.
We also specialize in door knob and lever installations, helping Glenolden residents upgrade their home security without major construction projects. Our technicians carry the most popular lock brands—Kwikset, Schlage, and Medeco—so we can match your existing hardware or upgrade you to higher security options.
For Glenolden families dealing with home lockouts, we respond quickly and get you back inside without damaging your property. Then we can address any underlying lock problems that contributed to the lockout, so you don’t face the same situation again.
We typically arrive within 20-30 minutes for Glenolden lockout calls. Our mobile technicians are strategically positioned throughout Delaware County, and we dispatch the closest available locksmith as soon as you call.
Unlike some companies that give you vague time windows, we provide realistic response times based on your actual location and current traffic conditions. We understand that being locked out is stressful, especially if you have kids waiting or need to get to work, so we prioritize emergency calls and keep you updated on our arrival time.
Our quick response doesn’t mean rushed work. We still take the time to get you back inside safely without damaging your door, locks, or frame.
Rekeying changes the internal mechanism of your existing lock so old keys won’t work, but you keep the same lock hardware. Lock replacement means installing completely new lock hardware.
Rekeying costs significantly less and works perfectly when your locks are in good condition but you need to control who has access. This is common when you buy a new home, end a roommate situation, or lose keys. We can rekey most standard residential locks in about 15-20 minutes per lock.
Replacement makes sense when your locks are worn out, damaged, or you want to upgrade to higher security or smart lock technology. We’ll assess your current locks and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your specific situation.
Yes, we install, repair, and service electronic locks and smart lock systems. Our technicians stay current with the latest smart lock technology from major manufacturers like Kwikset, Schlage, and other leading brands.
Smart lock installation involves more than just swapping hardware. We ensure your door is properly prepared, the lock is programmed correctly, and you understand how to use all the features. We also handle troubleshooting when smart locks malfunction or need software updates.
If you’re considering upgrading to smart locks, we can evaluate your current door hardware and recommend systems that will work reliably with your specific setup. Not every smart lock works well on every door, so professional installation ensures you get the security and convenience benefits you’re paying for.
Don’t try to extract a broken key yourself with pliers or other tools—you’ll likely push the key fragment deeper into the lock mechanism and create a more expensive repair.
Call us immediately. We have specialized key extraction tools designed to remove broken key fragments without damaging the lock cylinder. In most cases, we can extract the broken key and get your lock working normally again within 30 minutes.
If the key broke because the lock cylinder is worn or damaged, we’ll let you know and can rekey or replace the lock on the same visit. Broken keys are often a sign that your lock needs attention, so we’ll check the entire mechanism to prevent future problems.
Locksmith service costs vary based on the specific work needed, time of day, and complexity of your locks. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
Basic services like key cutting typically cost $5-15 per key. Lock rekeying runs $75-150 per lock depending on the lock type. Emergency lockout service generally costs $100-200, which is significantly less than replacing a door or window you might break trying to get inside yourself.
We don’t charge inflated “emergency fees” just because you call after hours. Our pricing is fair and transparent whether you need help at 2 PM or 2 AM. We’ll always explain what work is necessary and what’s optional, so you can make informed decisions about your security investments.
Yes, we can create keys for most locks even without an original key to copy. This process is called “impressioning” or lock decoding, and it requires specialized tools and expertise.
For standard residential locks, we can usually create a working key by examining the lock cylinder and determining the correct key cuts. This takes longer than copying an existing key—typically 20-45 minutes depending on the lock type—but it’s much less expensive than replacing the entire lock.
Some high-security locks and electronic locks require different approaches. We’ll assess your specific situation and let you know the most cost-effective way to regain access. In some cases, rekeying the lock and providing new keys is the best solution.
