Home Lockout Service
Locked out of your house, apartment, or condo? We get you back inside fast using professional, non-destructive methods — no damage to your door, frame, or locks.
Lock Rekeying
Changed by the landlord? Just moved in? Rekeying changes your lock’s internal pins so old keys no longer work — faster and cheaper than full lock replacement, same security result.
Deadbolt Installation
A quality deadbolt is your first line of defense. We install Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts on front doors, back doors, and interior doors — properly fitted and tested.
Smart Lock Installation
Ready to go keyless? We install and program smart locks, keypad entry systems, and Bluetooth-enabled locks for your home — compatible with most major brands and smart home systems.
Lock Replacement
Old, worn, or broken lock? We replace door locks, knobs, levers, and padlocks with quality hardware from trusted brands — we stock common sizes and finishes for same-day service.
Master Key Systems
Manage access across multiple units or doors in a building? We design and install master key systems for landlords, property managers, and multi-family homeowners throughout Philadelphia.
Moving into a new home or apartment is exciting — but it’s easy to overlook one critical security step: rekeying your locks. The previous owner, their family members, contractors, and real estate agents may all have copies of your key. You have no way of knowing how many exist.
Rekeying is the fastest and most affordable way to ensure complete control over who can enter your home. A licensed locksmith can rekey your entire home in under an hour for a fraction of what new lock hardware would cost.
- Faster and cheaper than replacing locks
- Invalidates all previous keys immediately
- Takes less than an hour for a full home
- Keeps your existing locks and hardware
- Peace of mind from day one

Answers to the most common home locksmith questions from Philadelphia homeowners and renters.
Our average response time across Philadelphia is 20 minutes or less. We have technicians dispatched throughout the city during our service hours — Mon–Sat 9am–9pm and Sunday 10am–7pm.
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys no longer work — it’s faster and significantly cheaper. Lock replacement installs a brand-new lock, which is recommended when your lock is damaged, worn, or you want to upgrade to higher security hardware.
Absolutely. You never know how many copies of the previous owner’s keys are out there — given to contractors, neighbors, family, or real estate agents. Rekeying is the safest and most affordable way to ensure only you have access to your new home.
Yes. We install and program smart locks, keypad deadbolts, and Bluetooth-enabled locks for Philadelphia homes. We work with major brands like Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo, August, and Yale — and can connect them to Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit.
In Pennsylvania, tenants generally need landlord permission before modifying locks. We recommend getting written approval from your landlord first. If you’re the landlord, we can rekey all units in a building at once — just call for a multi-unit quote.
