Common locksmith calls in West Philadelphia
A few of the locksmith situations we see most often in West Philadelphia:
University City lockouts at residential and campus properties
The high turnover of students and staff near Penn, Drexel, and CHOP makes lockouts a frequent occurrence in University City. We work with both residents and property managers to open doors quickly and rekey after lost keys — minimizing the time you're locked out of your home or office.
Lock upgrades and smart lock installation in Spruce Hill and Cedar Park
The beautiful Victorian and Edwardian row homes of Spruce Hill and Cedar Park often have older lock hardware that benefits from an upgrade. We install Grade 1 deadbolts and keypad smart locks that work with original door hardware, preserving the historic character of the home.
Car key replacement on Baltimore Avenue and Market Street
West Philadelphia's main commercial corridors see frequent car key losses. We dispatch to parking lots and street parking on Baltimore Avenue, Market Street, and the University City area — cutting and programming most replacement keys in 30 to 45 minutes on-site.
