You get back to your normal routine fast, with the confidence that your security actually works when you need it most.
We’ve been solving lock problems for Holme Circle families and businesses since the late 1800s. Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy now run what’s become the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley from our Prospect Park location.
When you call us, you’re getting more than just a locksmith—you’re getting a piece of Delaware County history. We’ve handled everything from simple house key copies to complex commercial security installations, always with the same commitment to doing the job right.
Holme Circle residents know they can count on us because we understand the neighborhood’s unique mix of family homes and local businesses. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or national chain—we’re your neighbors who happen to be really good at solving lock problems.
First, you call us and describe what’s happening. Locked out of your house? Keys broken in your car ignition? Need your office locks rekeyed after an employee left? We immediately dispatch our closest mobile technician because we know every minute matters.
Next, our locksmith arrives in a fully-equipped service van—usually within 20-30 minutes in most Holme Circle locations. We assess the situation, explain exactly what needs to happen, and give you a clear price before starting any work. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Then we solve the problem using the right tools and techniques. For lockouts, we get you back inside without damaging your property. For repairs and installations, we use OEM parts that actually last. When we’re done, you have working locks, new keys if needed, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing the job was done right.

Your locksmith service includes everything you need to secure your Holme Circle property properly. We handle residential rekeying services, new lock installation, deadbolt services, electronic locks, mailbox locks, and emergency home lockouts with the same attention to detail.
For Holme Circle’s mix of older homes and newer construction, we stock the right hardware for every situation. Whether you’re in one of the neighborhood’s classic rowhomes that needs mortise lock repair or a newer property requiring smart lock installation, we bring the right parts and expertise to your door.
Commercial customers get master key systems, access control installations, and emergency lockout services designed for local businesses. We understand that being locked out of your Holme Circle storefront or office costs you real money, which is why we prioritize business calls and can often rekey your entire system during the same emergency visit.
We typically arrive within 20-30 minutes for emergency lockouts in Holme Circle and surrounding areas. Our mobile locksmiths are strategically positioned throughout Delaware County, and we dispatch the closest available technician as soon as you call.
For business emergencies, we give priority response because we understand that every minute you’re locked out costs you sales and productivity. Residential lockouts also get fast service—we know you need to get back inside your home quickly, especially during evening hours or bad weather.
Our fully-equipped service vans carry everything needed to handle most lockout situations on the spot, so you won’t be waiting around while we go get parts or tools.
No, we use professional lockout techniques that preserve your property. Our technicians are trained in non-destructive entry methods specifically designed for different types of locks and door systems—from standard residential deadbolts to complex commercial access controls.
Damaging your door or lock during an emergency would just create more expensive problems for you to solve. We focus exclusively on safe entry techniques that get you back inside without compromising your security or requiring additional repairs.
If we encounter a situation where some damage is unavoidable, we’ll explain your options and get your permission before proceeding. But in the vast majority of cases, we can resolve lockouts without any damage to your property.
Rekeying changes the internal mechanism of your existing locks so old keys no longer work, while replacement involves installing completely new lock hardware. For most situations, rekeying is the more cost-effective solution that gives you the security you need.
When you rekey locks, you keep your current hardware but get new keys that work only for authorized people. This is perfect when you move into a new home, have employees leave your business, or lose keys and want to ensure no one else can get in. The process typically costs $25-45 per lock depending on the type.
Lock replacement makes sense when your current hardware is worn out, damaged, or you want to upgrade to higher-security or electronic locks. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the approach that gives you the best security for your budget.
Yes, we specialize in creating keys for challenging situations that other locksmiths often can’t handle. Our shop stocks an extensive selection of key blanks for older locks, unusual brands, and hard-to-find systems that are common in Holme Circle’s diverse housing stock.
Whether you have an antique mortise lock in a historic home, a discontinued deadbolt from a previous renovation, or even a broken key sample that needs duplication, our experience with five generations of lock systems gives us the knowledge to find solutions.
We can cut keys from broken samples, create keys when you only have the lock cylinder, and work with high-security key systems that require special blanks and cutting techniques. If a key can be made, we can probably make it.
Absolutely. We install, program, and service all types of electronic locks, smart locks, keyless entry systems, and access control equipment. Our technicians stay current with the latest technology from major manufacturers like Schlage, Kwikset, and Medeco.
Smart lock installation includes programming your access codes, connecting to your smartphone app if applicable, and testing all features to ensure everything works properly. We also provide training on how to use your new system effectively and can troubleshoot issues that come up later.
For businesses, we design and install comprehensive access control systems that let you manage employee access, track entry logs, and maintain security even when staff changes. These systems can integrate with your existing security cameras and alarm systems for complete protection.
Don’t try to dig the broken key out yourself—this usually pushes it deeper and can damage the lock mechanism. Instead, call us for professional broken key extraction that preserves your lock and gets you back to normal operation quickly.
Our technicians use specialized extraction tools designed for different types of locks and key breaks. We can usually remove broken key pieces without disassembling the entire lock, which saves you time and money compared to full lock replacement.
Once we extract the broken piece, we’ll cut you a new key and test the lock operation to make sure everything works smoothly. If the break damaged the lock mechanism, we’ll let you know what repair options you have and help you decide the most cost-effective approach.
