Your Tinicum home gets comprehensive locksmith services designed for Pennsylvania’s climate and security needs. We handle residential rekeying services when you move into a new house or need to change access after losing keys.
New lock installation covers everything from basic door knobs and deadbolt services to advanced electronic locks and keyless entry systems. We work with quality manufacturers like Kwikset, Medeco, and Schlage, so your investment lasts.
Lock repair services fix sticking mechanisms, broken keys, and worn components before they become security risks. We also service mailbox locks, mortise locks, and specialty hardware that other locksmiths often can’t handle. Delaware County homes have unique needs, and we’ve been meeting them for generations.
Rekeying typically costs $25-45 per lock, depending on the lock type and complexity. This is significantly less expensive than replacing entire locks, which can run $100-200+ per door.
Most Tinicum homes need 3-5 locks rekeyed when moving in or changing security. We provide exact pricing over the phone once we understand your specific situation. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges.
The investment makes sense because rekeying gives you complete control over who has access to your home while keeping your existing hardware. It’s the most cost-effective way to secure your property after buying a house, losing keys, or ending employment relationships.
Yes, we respond to emergency lockouts in Tinicum typically within 20-30 minutes, 24 hours a day. Whether you’re locked out of your house, car, or business, our mobile technicians carry the tools needed to get you back inside safely.
We use non-destructive entry methods that won’t damage your doors, frames, or locks. This saves you from costly repairs on top of the lockout service. Our technicians are trained on modern lock systems and security devices.

Absolutely. We install and service electronic locks, smart locks, keyless entry systems, and digital deadbolts for Tinicum homeowners who want modern security convenience.
Smart lock installation includes programming the system, connecting it to your smartphone app, and teaching you how to manage access codes. We work with leading brands and ensure the installation integrates properly with your existing door hardware.
Electronic locks offer benefits like temporary access codes for service providers, entry logging, and remote locking capability. We help you choose the right system based on your security needs, technical comfort level, and budget. Professional installation ensures these systems work reliably for years.
Rekeying changes the internal mechanism so your existing locks work with new keys, while old keys no longer function. The lock hardware stays the same, but you get complete security control.
Changing locks means removing the entire lock mechanism and installing new hardware. This costs more but gives you upgraded security features, different finishes, or higher-grade lock systems.
For most Tinicum homeowners, rekeying provides the security they need at a fraction of the cost. We recommend lock replacement when the existing hardware is worn out, damaged, or doesn’t meet current security standards. We’ll assess your situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
