Locked out of your house? Keys sitting inside a locked car? Call us. We're a locksmith shop in South Philly, been doing this since 2009. Say where you are and we'll give you an arrival time before you hang up.
Nobody plans to need a locksmith. You call because something already went wrong — and it usually happens at the worst possible time. Keys locked in the car. Standing outside your front door at 11pm. A deadbolt that finally gave up after years of sticking.
We started in 2009 and we've done over 15,000 jobs since then. We're not a national chain. We're not a booking platform passing your address to whoever's available. When you call (215) 258-9982, you reach our team directly — and we'll tell you honestly how long it'll take to get to you.
A real person picks up. No recordings, no menus, no hold music. You tell us where you are. We check who's closest to you and give you a straight time estimate — usually 15 to 30 minutes across most of Philadelphia. Rush hour on Broad Street is a different situation from a Sunday morning in Roxborough, and we'll be honest about that either way.
We give you the price before anyone gets in the van. No low quote on the phone and a different number at the door. Plenty of companies quote $35 to win the call, then hand you a bill for $300 at the door. We hear those stories every week. That doesn't happen here. No add-ons when we arrive.
Home, car, and business locksmith services across the city — available 24/7.
We've taken calls on Christmas morning, during Eagles games, at 3am in February when it was 18 degrees outside. Our emergency team covers every neighborhood in the city, every day of the year. Response time is typically 15 to 30 minutes. If a child or pet is trapped inside a vehicle, call 911 first — then call us.
24/7 Emergency Service →Home lockouts make up roughly half our daily calls. Beyond lockouts, we rekey homes after moves — especially older Philadelphia rowhouses where you genuinely have no idea how many copies of the keys exist. We also install deadbolts, fix sticky locks, and swap out old hardware completely. Most home jobs land between $85 and $150. You get the exact number before we leave the shop.
Residential Services →Staff turns over. Keys disappear. Doors that open a hundred times a day wear out their hardware. We handle that for shops, restaurants, offices and rental properties around the city: master key systems, Medeco and Mul-T-Lock high-security locks, commercial lockouts, rekeys between tenants. Managing several properties? One well-planned visit usually takes care of all of them.
Commercial Services →Car lockouts happen to everyone — parking lots, gas stations, your own driveway in Northeast Philadelphia. We get the door open without scratching anything, and for most cars we can cut and program a new key from the van. That saves you a tow and a trip to the dealer. When you call, we'll ask for the year, make and model of the car so we bring the right machine.
Car Locksmith Services →Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working — the lock itself stays in place. It costs less than a full replacement and makes sense after a move, a lost key, or a change in who should have access to your home. We carry parts for same-day rekeying all across Philadelphia.
Rekey Service →Not everything needs a new lock. A sticky deadbolt or a door that won't line up right is usually a repair, and we'll tell you that instead of selling you new hardware. If you do want stronger locks, we install Medeco, Mul-T-Lock and Schlage high security cylinders, which are a lot harder to get past than what the hardware store sells.
Lock Repair →More Philadelphia homeowners and landlords are ditching traditional keys. We install keypad entry systems that give you complete control over access — especially practical for rental properties where tenants change regularly.
Keyless Entry →A lot of the locksmith results you'll find online are not local businesses at all. They're national lead generators using local-looking phone numbers. Your call gets routed to a stranger, your address gets forwarded along, and someone you've never heard of turns up at your door. No local reputation on the line. No accountability if something goes wrong.
We're based at 2600 S 9th St in South Philadelphia — right here in the city, not dispatching from somewhere across town or out of state. Our guys drive this city every day.
