You need spare keys that actually work when it matters. Whether it’s for your teenager who keeps forgetting keys, your partner who needs access, or that trusted neighbor who watches your house, having reliable duplicates changes everything.
No more standing outside your door at 10 PM. No more expensive emergency locksmith calls. No more keys that stick, jam, or break off in your lock because they were cut wrong somewhere else.
With proper key duplication, you’re prepared for life’s unexpected moments while keeping your Essington home secure.
We’ve been cutting keys for Essington families since the late 1800s. We’re not just the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley – we’re your neighbors who understand what matters to homeowners in this area.
Our Prospect Park storefront is minutes from Essington, stocked with the equipment and expertise to handle any residential key duplication. From standard house keys to those tricky “hard to find” keys, we’ve seen it all over 140 years in business.
When Essington residents need keys cut right, they come to the family that’s been doing it longer than anyone else around here.
Bring your original key to our Prospect Park location, just minutes from Essington. We examine the key to ensure it’s in good condition for duplication and select the right blank for your specific lock type.
Our precision key cutting equipment creates an exact duplicate while you wait. Most residential keys are completed within minutes, though specialty or high-security keys may take slightly longer for proper calibration.
We test every key before you leave to ensure smooth operation. You walk out with duplicates that work as perfectly as your original, backed by our family’s reputation for quality that spans over a century.

We duplicate all standard residential keys for Essington homes, from front door deadbolts to back door knobs, patio doors, and window locks. Whether you live in one of the area’s historic bungalows dating back to 1900 or a newer ranch-style home, we handle keys for every lock type.
High-security keys, decorative keys, and even those unusual vintage keys from older Essington properties – we’ve got the expertise and equipment. Our relationship with major manufacturers like Kwikset, Medeco, and Schlage means we can work with virtually any residential lock system.
For Essington’s fast-moving housing market where homes sell in just 22 days, having reliable key duplication service nearby matters. Whether you’re a new homeowner needing extra keys or preparing to sell, we make the process quick and hassle-free.
Most standard house keys are duplicated within 2-5 minutes while you wait at our Prospect Park location. We keep common residential key blanks in stock, so there’s rarely any delay for typical Essington home keys.
Specialty keys or high-security residential locks may take 10-15 minutes for proper cutting and testing. We never rush the process because precision matters – a poorly cut key can damage your lock or leave you locked out when you need access most.
If you have multiple keys to duplicate, we can handle large orders efficiently. Many Essington homeowners get several copies made at once for family members, which we can complete in one visit.
We duplicate virtually every type of residential key you’ll find in Essington homes. Standard deadbolt keys, door knob keys, patio door keys, and window lock keys are our bread and butter – completed quickly with precision equipment.
High-security residential keys, decorative keys, and vintage keys from Essington’s older homes built in the early 1900s are no problem. We have the specialized blanks and expertise to handle unique residential lock systems that other places might turn away.
Even those “challenge keys” that don’t look like standard house keys – we love working on unusual residential locks. Our four generations of experience means we’ve seen every type of residential key system used in Delaware County homes.
Standard residential key duplication typically costs between $2-5 per key, depending on the type of key and blank required. Most common house keys for Essington homes fall into the lower end of this range.
High-security residential keys or specialty blanks may cost $8-15 per key due to the specialized materials and precision required. We’ll always give you the exact price upfront – no surprises or hidden fees.
For multiple keys, we often provide volume pricing that saves money compared to getting keys cut one at a time. Many Essington families get 4-6 copies made at once for household members, which is the most cost-effective approach.
Absolutely. Every residential key we duplicate is tested before you leave our shop. We insert each new key into our test locks to ensure smooth operation and proper cutting depth.
If any duplicated key doesn’t work perfectly in your Essington home’s locks, bring it back and we’ll recut it at no charge. Our precision equipment and 140+ years of experience mean this rarely happens, but we stand behind every key we make.
We use high-quality key blanks and OEM-approved materials, so your duplicated keys will last as long as your original. Cheap, poorly cut keys from other places can actually damage your locks over time – something we never want to see happen to Essington homeowners.
If you’ve lost your only key, we can often help by creating keys from lock codes or using impressioning techniques. This process takes longer than standard duplication and costs more, but it’s usually faster and cheaper than replacing your entire lock.
For newer locks, we can sometimes order keys directly from the manufacturer using the lock’s serial number. For older Essington homes with vintage locks, impressioning allows us to create working keys by carefully analyzing the lock mechanism.
However, you’ll need to prove ownership of the property before we can create keys without an original. This protects Essington homeowners from unauthorized key creation and maintains security for everyone in the community.
Four generations of locksmith expertise means we know how to cut keys right the first time. Those automated kiosks at big box stores might be convenient, but they lack the precision and quality control that comes with professional equipment and experienced technicians.
We’re the largest locksmith company in the Delaware Valley, with a real storefront location just minutes from Essington. When something goes wrong with a key from a kiosk, there’s no one to call. When you come to us, you’re dealing with a family business that’s been serving this community since the 1800s.
We use manufacturer-approved blanks and professional-grade cutting equipment. Our keys are tested before you leave, and we guarantee they’ll work properly. For Essington residents who value reliability and quality, the choice is clear.
