Tinicum homes range from historic properties with unique lock systems to newer construction with high-security hardware. We handle keys for all of them—standard house keys, deadbolts, mailbox keys, and those specialty keys that give other places trouble.
Delaware County’s mix of older and newer homes means unusual key types are common. We stock blanks for everything from antique residential locks to modern high-security systems. When you need keys for that old farmhouse lock or the new electronic deadbolt, we have the blanks and expertise.
Property managers throughout the Tinicum area count on us for reliable key duplication. Whether you’re managing rental properties, need spare keys for family members, or just moved here and need local locksmith service you can trust, we provide the precision and reliability that keeps your property accessible and secure.
Standard residential key duplication typically runs $4-7 per key, depending on the blank type and cutting complexity. High-security keys cost more due to specialized blanks and precision cutting requirements.
Our pricing reflects professional service—you’re paying for keys that work reliably, not just cheap copies that might function. We provide upfront pricing with no surprises, and we’re often less expensive than dealership services while delivering superior quality.
When you factor in the time and frustration saved by getting keys that work properly the first time, professional duplication is the smart choice over automated machines that produce inconsistent results.
Yes, we specialize in challenging duplications that hardware stores and automated machines can’t handle. Our extensive blank inventory and five generations of cutting experience let us work with worn keys, unusual cuts, and specialty residential locks.
We regularly duplicate keys that customers have been told are “impossible” to copy. Our professional equipment can work with keys that have unusual wear patterns, specialty security features, or blanks that aren’t carried by typical retail locations.
If you’ve been turned away elsewhere, bring your key to us. We’ve successfully duplicated keys that multiple other places couldn’t handle, often saving customers from expensive lock replacements or security system upgrades.
Most residential keys are cut and tested within minutes while you wait. We handle duplication on-site at our Prospect Park location, so there’s no waiting for orders or special shipping.
Complex keys or unusual blanks may take slightly longer, but we complete most residential key duplication during your visit. We operate on walk-in service for standard key cutting—no appointments needed during our Monday through Friday business hours.
Our 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM schedule gives you convenient access without weekend or after-hours premiums. Just walk in when it’s convenient for you.
Absolutely. We test every key in our shop before you leave to ensure smooth operation. Our professional cutting process and quality control mean you get keys that work reliably from day one.
If any key we’ve duplicated doesn’t function properly due to our cutting, we’ll remake it at no charge. We stand behind our workmanship because our reputation depends on delivering keys that work perfectly every time you use them.
Unlike automated systems that can’t adjust for individual key characteristics, our experienced technicians ensure each duplicate matches your original’s exact specifications and operating requirements.
We duplicate all standard residential keys including house keys, deadbolts, mailbox keys, and most high-security residential systems. We also handle keys for home safes, file cabinets, and specialty residential hardware.
Our blank inventory covers both common and unusual residential key types, including older styles that many places no longer stock. We work with keys from all major residential lock manufacturers plus many specialty and discontinued lines.
Whether you have keys for antique door locks, European residential hardware, or modern high-security systems, we likely have the blanks and cutting expertise to duplicate them when other places can’t help.
Professional cutting provides precision that automated machines simply cannot match. We adjust for individual key wear patterns, unusual cuts, and metal characteristics that machines ignore, resulting in keys that operate smoothly and reliably.
Automated machines often produce keys that almost work—they turn in the lock but operate roughly, or they work initially but wear out quickly. Our professional approach ensures proper cut depth, accurate spacing, and correct angles on every duplicate.
When you consider the time lost dealing with poorly cut keys, plus potential lockout situations and replacement costs, professional duplication saves you money and frustration while providing keys you can count on every single time.
