You know the frustration. Hardware store machines that can’t read worn keys. Cheap copies that barely turn in your lock. Keys that work today but fail tomorrow when you actually need them.
That ends here. When you bring your keys to McCausland Lock Service, you get precision cutting that works the first time and keeps working. We cut house keys, apartment keys, even those challenging vintage keys that stump everyone else.
Your time matters. That’s why we handle most key duplication in under a minute, right while you wait in our Prospect Park shop.
Our family has been cutting keys and solving lock problems in Delaware County since the late 1800s. Today, fourth-generation locksmith Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy run the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley.
We’ve seen every type of key that exists. From modern high-security keys to vintage house keys from Media’s historic homes near the Minshall House. When other locksmiths can’t duplicate your key, we can.
You’re not just getting a locksmith when you choose McCausland. You’re getting a piece of Delaware County history and the kind of expertise that only comes from 140+ years in the business.
Bring your original key to our Prospect Park storefront. We examine it first to identify the exact key type and any wear patterns that could affect the copy.
Next, we select the proper key blank from our extensive inventory. We stock blanks for virtually every lock manufacturer, including those hard-to-find keys for older Media homes. Our precision cutting machines read your original key and create an exact duplicate.
Finally, we test every key we cut. If it doesn’t work perfectly in your lock, we recut it at no charge. Most customers walk out in under five minutes with keys that work like new.

We duplicate all residential key types that Media homeowners need. Standard house keys, deadbolt keys, high-security keys like Medeco and Schlage, even mailbox and garage keys. If you have the original, we can copy it.
Media’s mix of historic and modern homes means residents deal with everything from century-old skeleton keys to today’s smart lock backup keys. We handle them all because we stock key blanks that other shops don’t carry.
Property managers and landlords especially appreciate our bulk key cutting services. When you’re managing rentals in Media’s competitive market, you need keys cut quickly and accurately for turnovers. We cut multiple copies fast, so your properties stay rentable.
Most standard house keys are duplicated in under a minute while you wait. We have precision key-cutting machines right in our Prospect Park shop, so there’s no waiting around or coming back later.
Even challenging keys like worn originals or high-security keys typically take just a few minutes. We examine each key first to ensure we use the right cutting technique and key blank for a perfect copy.
The only time we might need longer is for extremely unusual vintage keys or specialty keys that require custom blanks. Even then, we’ll let you know upfront exactly how long it will take.
Yes, frequently. We stock key blanks that most hardware stores and other locksmiths don’t carry, especially for older homes in Media’s historic neighborhoods.
Our 140+ years of experience means we’ve encountered virtually every key type that exists. We have the right equipment and blanks for high-security keys, worn keys, and even damaged keys that others can’t read.
If you’ve been told your key can’t be duplicated elsewhere, bring it to us. We love the challenge keys that stump everyone else, and we usually find a way to make them work.
Absolutely. Every key we cut gets tested before you leave our shop. If any key doesn’t work perfectly in your lock, we’ll recut it at no additional charge.
We use precision equipment and quality key blanks, not the cheap blanks that cause problems down the road. Our keys are cut to exact specifications so they work smoothly and last longer.
This guarantee is backed by four generations of locksmithing expertise. We’ve built our reputation on getting it right the first time, and we stand behind every key we make.
We duplicate all standard residential keys including house keys, deadbolt keys, mailbox keys, and garage keys. We also handle high-security keys from manufacturers like Medeco, Schlage, and Kwikset.
Media’s mix of historic and modern homes means we see everything from vintage skeleton keys to today’s smart lock backup keys. We stock blanks for virtually every residential lock type you’ll encounter.
Property managers particularly appreciate that we can duplicate master keys and handle bulk orders quickly. Whether you need one spare key or fifty copies for a rental property, we handle orders of any size efficiently.
Standard house key duplication starts at very reasonable rates, significantly less than what car dealerships charge for automotive keys. We believe quality key cutting shouldn’t break your budget.
High-security keys and specialty keys may cost slightly more due to the premium blanks required, but we’ll always quote you the exact price upfront. No surprises or hidden fees.
For property managers and landlords who need multiple copies regularly, we offer volume discounts. The more keys you need duplicated, the better the per-key price becomes.
Hardware store machines often can’t read worn keys or handle high-security keys properly. They’re automated systems that work fine for perfect keys but struggle with real-world situations.
We have trained locksmiths who can assess your key and choose the right cutting technique. When your key is worn, damaged, or unusual, human expertise makes the difference between a key that works and one that doesn’t.
Plus, we guarantee our work. If a hardware store key doesn’t work, you’re stuck with it. If our key doesn’t work perfectly, we fix it free. That’s the difference between a machine and a master locksmith.
