Car Key Replacement

Three car keys with remote heads laid out on a wooden table.

Three remote-head keys cut and programmed for the same vehicle, laid out before handing them over. Spares made while the car is in front of us mean the owner is not left with a single key.

Three vehicle keys, two with remote buttons, resting on a car seat.

Car Key Replacement in Media

Three vehicle keys, two of them with remote buttons, on the seat of the car they now open. Each one is cut to the car and programmed so the remote and the ignition both answer to it.

Key programming tablet set up inside a car and connected to the vehicle.

Car Key Replacement in Norristown

Four flip-style car keys with remote buttons on a car seat.

Car Key Replacement in Upper Darby

Four flip-style remote keys made for one vehicle, on the seat. A flip key is cut on the blade and programmed for the remote, so both parts have to be done for each one.

Car interior with a key in the ignition and a programming tablet connected below the dash.

Car Key Replacement in Coatesville

Key in the ignition with the programming tablet plugged in below the dash. The new key is written to the car's own computer, so it starts the engine and not only opens the door.

Hand turning a key in a knob lock on a security screen door.

Deadbolt and knob on a white door, with the keys still in the lock.

Residential Locksmith in Pottstown

Lock Replacement

Old lock cylinders and parts collected in a clear plastic tray after a lock change.

Lock Replacement in Lancaster

The old cylinders and parts collected in a tray after a lock change. Everything that comes out of a door leaves with us, and when a house gets new cylinders they can be keyed alike so one key runs every door.

New deadbolt and lever handle fitted on a white front door.

Lock Replacement in Malvern

New deadbolt and matching lever handle fitted on a white front door. Bolt and handle keyed to the same key, lined up on the strike so the door closes without lifting.

New deadbolt with the key in it, fitted on an old weathered door.

Smart Lock Installation

Keypad deadbolt and matching lever handle fitted on a grey front door.

Smart Lock Installation in Manayunk

Keypad deadbolt with a matching lever handle on a grey front door. The code runs the bolt and the lever below it stays a plain handle, so the door works the same with or without the keypad.

Commercial Locksmith

Pull handle with a key cylinder on a metal storefront door.

Commercial Locksmith in West Chester

Pull handle with its own key cylinder on a metal storefront door. On a store door the cylinder is the part that takes the wear, and it is the part that gets changed or rekeyed when the key stops turning cleanly.

More about commercial locksmith
Commercial door edge opened up to reach the lock mechanism inside. Hand holding a lock cylinder taken out of a door, with loose parts on the ground behind.

Commercial Locksmith in Phoenixville

The edge of a commercial door opened up to reach the lock case, and the cylinder that came out of it. A repair on a door like this is done at the door: the mechanism comes apart, the worn part is replaced, and the door is closed up again.

Glass storefront door held open during work, with tools on the pavement.

Commercial Locksmith in Conshohocken

Glass storefront door held open during the work, tools on the pavement. On an aluminum storefront the lock, the closer and the threshold all affect how the door latches, so the whole line is checked, not only the lock.

Storefront door with a latch guard marked push over the edge of the lock.

Commercial Locksmith in Center City

Latch guard fitted over the edge of a storefront lock, marked push. The plate covers the gap around the latch so the bolt cannot be reached from outside.

Exit device trim with a paddle handle on a commercial door.

Commercial Locksmith in Roxborough

Exit device trim with a paddle handle on a commercial door. The paddle works the same latch as the push bar inside, so the door can be pulled open from outside with a key and pushed open from inside without one.

Lever handle with a key cylinder on a commercial entrance door. Close view of a lever handle and key cylinder on a commercial door.

Commercial Locksmith in West Chester

Lever handle with a key cylinder on a commercial entrance door, and a close view of the same handle. A commercial lever takes far more use than a house door, so the grade of the lever matters as much as the lock inside it.

More about commercial locksmith
Panic bar on a grey commercial door with a wired glass panel.

Commercial Locksmith in Media

Panic bar on a grey commercial door with a wired-glass panel. A panic bar has to open on one push from inside; the work is in lining up the bar, the latch and the strike so it does exactly that.
