You’re standing outside your locked door at the worst possible time. Kids are inside, dinner’s burning, or you’re late for work.
Most Yeadon residents don’t realize how quickly a professional locksmith can solve this. We get you back inside in 20-30 minutes without damaging your door, lock, or wallet.
No waiting around for hours. No inflated emergency fees. Just fast, professional service from the locksmith family that’s been helping Delaware County residents since the late 1800s.
The McCausland family has been solving lock problems since before your great-grandparents were born. We’re now in our fourth generation, with Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy running the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley.
We understand Yeadon’s unique needs. Many homes here were built in the 1940s and need security upgrades that work with older door frames and hardware. We’ve handled thousands of these situations.
Our Prospect Park storefront is just minutes away, stocked with parts and keys for immediate service. When you call McCausland, you’re getting over a century of expertise, not some fly-by-night operation.
You call us with your lock problem. We dispatch our closest mobile technician, usually arriving within 20-30 minutes in most Yeadon locations.
Our technician assesses the situation and explains your options upfront. No surprises, no pressure tactics. Whether it’s a simple lockout, rekeying after a break-in, or installing new deadbolts, we handle it on-site.
For lockouts, we use professional tools that won’t damage your door or frame. For rekeying, we change your lock’s internal mechanism so old keys stop working while cutting new ones for authorized users. New installations include proper alignment and testing to ensure everything works smoothly for years.

We handle every type of residential lock service Yeadon homeowners need. Emergency lockouts get priority response. Rekeying services secure your home after moving in, losing keys, or ending relationships with people who had access.
New lock installation includes deadbolt services, electronic locks, smart lock setup, and mortise lock replacement. We work with all major brands including Kwikset, Medeco, and Schlage, using OEM parts for longer-lasting results.
Many Yeadon homes built in the 1940s need special attention for proper lock alignment and security upgrades. We understand these older construction methods and ensure new hardware integrates properly without compromising your home’s integrity or appearance.
Most Yeadon lockouts are resolved in 20-30 minutes from when we arrive. Our response time depends on your exact location and current service calls, but we typically reach most Yeadon addresses within 20-30 minutes of your call.
We use professional lockout tools that open your door without damage to the lock, door, or frame. This isn’t like the coat hanger methods that can scratch paint or break weather stripping. Our techniques preserve your property while getting you inside quickly.
Emergency lockouts get priority dispatch, especially if children, elderly family members, or pets are involved. We understand these situations are stressful and work efficiently to restore your access and peace of mind.
Rekeying changes your lock’s internal mechanism so existing keys no longer work, while new keys are cut for the updated system. This costs significantly less than full replacement and can be done on-site in most cases.
Lock replacement involves removing your entire lock assembly and installing new hardware. This is necessary when locks are damaged, worn out, or you want to upgrade to electronic or smart lock systems.
For most Yeadon homeowners, rekeying is the smart choice after moving into a new home, losing keys, or when you need to revoke access for former tenants, contractors, or family members. It provides fresh security at a fraction of replacement cost while keeping your existing hardware.
Yes, we handle most automotive key cutting and programming at significantly lower costs than dealerships. Our automotive locksmith service covers transponder keys, key fobs, and remote programming for most makes and models.
Dealerships often charge $200-400 for replacement keys and can take days or weeks to order parts. We typically complete automotive key services while you wait, using quality equipment and OEM-compatible parts.

Absolutely. We install and service all types of electronic locks, smart locks, keyless entry systems, and integrated security solutions. Our technicians stay current with the latest technology from major manufacturers.
Smart lock installation includes proper setup, app configuration, and integration with your existing home automation systems. We ensure your electronic locks work reliably and securely, with backup access methods in case of technical issues.
Many Yeadon homes benefit from smart lock upgrades, especially for rental properties or homes where multiple people need access. We handle the technical setup and teach you how to manage digital access, temporary codes, and remote monitoring features.
First, contact police and ensure your family’s safety. Once the immediate situation is handled, call us for emergency security restoration. We can rekey or replace damaged locks immediately to secure your property.
Break-in repairs often involve more than just locks. We assess door frames, strike plates, and hardware for damage that compromises security. Our goal is restoring full protection quickly so you can feel safe in your home again.
We work with insurance companies regularly and provide documentation needed for claims. Many Yeadon homeowners use break-in incidents as opportunities to upgrade their overall security with better locks, reinforced strike plates, and modern deadbolt systems.
Service costs vary based on the specific work needed, time of day, and complexity involved. Emergency lockouts typically range from $75-150, while rekeying services usually cost $25-50 per lock depending on the type and quantity.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. No surprise charges or inflated emergency fees. Our goal is fair, competitive pricing that reflects the quality and expertise you’re receiving from a family business with over 140 years of experience.
For complex jobs like smart lock installation or commercial security systems, we provide detailed estimates explaining all costs. Most Yeadon residents find our prices significantly lower than dealership alternatives while receiving superior service and local support.
