You hand over your spare key to your teenager, and three weeks later they’re calling because it won’t turn in the lock. Sound familiar? That’s the difference between a proper key duplication and a cheap copy that looks right but doesn’t work.
When we duplicate your residential keys, we use precision equipment that reads the exact cuts and depths of your original. Every ridge, every valley gets reproduced to factory specifications. Your new keys slide in smoothly and turn without resistance.
No more standing on your front porch at 11 PM wondering if the key will work. No more sending family members to three different hardware stores looking for someone who can make a key that actually functions. Just reliable access when you need it.
McCausland Lock Service has been serving Collingdale and the surrounding Delaware County area with honest locksmith services that residents can count on. We understand that when you need key duplication, you’re not just buying a piece of metal – you’re investing in security and peace of mind for your family.
As a trusted locksmith serving Delaware County communities from Chester to Darby, we provide fast, reliable services 24/7. We’re licensed, insured, and committed to transparent pricing that won’t surprise you with hidden fees.
Our mobile service means we come to you, whether you’re at home, work, or stuck somewhere needing emergency key duplication. We’ve built our reputation on doing the job right the first time.
First, we examine your original key to determine the best duplication method. Different key types require different approaches – a standard house key gets handled differently than a high-security key or a worn key that’s been copied multiple times before.
Next, we select the right blank key that matches your original’s specifications. We don’t guess or use “close enough” blanks. The wrong blank means a key that won’t work properly, even if it looks identical.
Then we cut your new key using precision equipment that reproduces every detail of your original. We test each key before handing it over to make sure it operates smoothly. If it doesn’t work perfectly, we remake it at no charge.

We duplicate all types of residential keys including standard house keys, deadbolt keys, mailbox keys, and high-security keys. Whether you need one spare key or copies for the entire family, we handle orders of any size with the same attention to detail.
Key duplication is especially valuable for families where multiple members need access to the same home at different times, making it more convenient for everyone to have their own keys instead of relying on just one set. In Collingdale’s close-knit neighborhoods, having reliable spare keys means you can help neighbors in emergencies and ensure family members can always get inside safely.
We also work with property managers and landlords who need multiple key sets for rental properties throughout the Collingdale area. Our bulk pricing makes it affordable to keep proper key inventory without breaking your budget.
Standard residential key duplication typically costs between $1.50 to $4 per key, while customized or high-security keys can range from $3 to $20. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what to expect.
The final cost depends on the type of key you need duplicated and how many copies you want. Basic house keys are at the lower end of the range, while high-security or restricted keys cost more due to the specialized equipment and blanks required. We never surprise you with hidden fees or unexpected charges.
Most key duplication takes five minutes or less, depending on the type of key you need copied. Standard house keys are usually ready within a few minutes, while high-security keys may take slightly longer due to their more complex cutting requirements.
We keep a large inventory of key blanks in our mobile service vehicles, so we can handle most residential key duplication requests on the spot. If you have an unusual or specialized key that requires a specific blank we don’t carry, we’ll let you know upfront and can typically get it within 24 hours.
Yes, but you need to present proper authorization from the key owner, typically in the form of an authorization letter on company letterhead that includes specifications, the name of the person picking up the key, and contact details of the person issuing the authorization.
For residential properties, this usually means providing proof of ownership or a lease agreement. We take security seriously and follow proper protocols to ensure keys are only duplicated for authorized individuals. We can refuse service if proper authorization isn’t provided, but we’re happy to work with you to ensure you have the documentation needed.

We can copy almost all kinds of keys including ones intended for homes, offices, mailboxes, padlocks, and Mul-T-Locks. Our equipment handles both traditional keys and modern high-security keys that use special cutting patterns.
