Our locksmith services cover everything Lansdowne homeowners need. Residential rekeying services when you move into a new home or need to control who has access. New lock installation for upgrades or replacements. Emergency home lockout service when you’re stuck outside.
We handle all types of hardware – traditional deadbolts, door knobs and levers, mortise locks for older homes, mailbox locks, and modern electronic locks. Our technicians work with major brands like Schlage, Kwikset, and Medeco.
Lansdowne’s mix of pre-1940s homes and newer construction means we see everything. Historic homes often need specialized knowledge to upgrade security without damaging original features. Newer properties might need electronic lock programming or smart home integration.
Every service includes honest assessment of what actually needs to be done, quality parts, professional installation, and warranty coverage. No upselling, no hidden fees, no surprises.
We typically arrive within 20-30 minutes for emergency lockouts in Lansdowne. Our mobile technicians are dispatched from our Prospect Park location, which is just minutes away.
Emergency situations get priority response because we understand you can’t wait around when you’re locked out of your home. Our fully stocked vans carry the tools needed to get you back inside without damaging your locks or door.
We provide 24/7 emergency service because lockouts don’t happen on a schedule. Whether it’s early morning before work or late at night, we prioritize getting Lansdowne residents back into their homes quickly and safely.
Rekeying changes the internal pins so your existing locks work with new keys, while old keys stop working. It’s faster and less expensive when your locks are in good condition but you need to control access.
Lock replacement involves installing completely new hardware. This makes sense when locks are worn out, damaged, or you want to upgrade to higher security or electronic locks.
For most Lansdowne homeowners moving into a new house, rekeying is the smart choice. You get fresh security without the cost of all new hardware. We can rekey most standard residential locks on the spot and cut new keys immediately.
Yes, our five generations of experience mean we’ve worked on locks dating back to the early 1900s. Many of Lansdowne’s pre-1940s homes have mortise locks, unusual key systems, or antique hardware that other locksmiths consider unfixable.
We stock repair parts for older lock mechanisms and understand how to upgrade security while preserving the character of historic homes. Sometimes we can rebuild internal components rather than replacing the entire lock.
Our approach is to assess what you actually have, explain your options clearly, and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Whether that’s restoration, selective upgrading, or full replacement depends on the condition and your security needs.
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties on both our labor and any parts we install. The warranty period varies based on the type of work, but it covers our workmanship completely.
If something fails due to our work within the warranty period, we return to fix it at no charge. We use quality replacement parts and proper procedures developed over five generations in the business.
Our reputation in Delaware County has been built on doing work right the first time. The warranty demonstrates our confidence in the professional service we provide to Lansdowne homeowners.
We install and service all major brands of electronic locks, including keypad entry systems, smart locks with smartphone control, and keyless entry systems. Our technicians are trained on the latest residential security technology.
Electronic locks are popular in Lansdowne because they offer convenience and enhanced security. You can give temporary codes to service providers, track who enters your home, and never worry about losing keys again.
We handle the complete installation process, including programming, testing, and showing you how to use all the features. If you have issues later, we service what we install and can troubleshoot both mechanical and electronic components.
Service costs depend on what’s needed, but we provide honest, upfront pricing before starting any work. Emergency lockout service typically runs $150-300 depending on complexity. Rekeying standard residential locks usually costs $80-160 per lock.
New lock installation varies based on the hardware you choose and installation requirements. We explain all options and costs clearly so you can make informed decisions about your home security.
We don’t charge hidden fees, markup parts excessively, or push unnecessary services. Our pricing reflects the quality workmanship and expertise that comes with five generations of experience serving Delaware County families.
