Advanced Lock Installation Technology for Claymont Residents
No Deadbolt—Just a Flimsy Knob Lock
That doorknob lock? A teenager with a credit card can bypass it. A proper deadbolt adds real security. If your entry door doesn't have one, you're not as protected as you think.
Locks Are Old, Worn, or Damaged
If your lock sticks, wiggles, or feels loose in the door, it's a security risk AND an eventual lockout waiting to happen. Replacement now prevents problems later.
New Door Needs Proper Locks
Installed a new exterior door or renovated an entryway? It needs professional lock installation to function correctly and provide real security—not just a lock shoved in a pre-drilled hole.
Smart Lock Is Still in the Box
You bought an August, Yale, Schlage, or Kwikset smart lock months ago. The instructions looked complicated. It's still sitting there. We set it up properly so it actually works with your phone.
Need to Upgrade Security After a Break-In
Someone kicked in your door or picked your lock. Now you need serious hardware—high-security deadbolts, reinforced strike plates, pick-resistant cylinders. We know what actually stops break-ins.
Commuter Corridor
Claymont's location on I-95 and SEPTA rail makes it a commuter hub. We offer flexible scheduling for working professionals.
Diverse Housing Stock
From historic Arden cottages to modern condos, Claymont has varied lock types requiring diverse expertise.

"My teenager is starting to drive so I needed a duplicate key for the family car. Kwikey programmed a new key fob right at our house. Much cheaper than the dealership."
"Our school building required updated push-bar devices on all emergency exits. Kwikey replaced eight units in two days, coordinating around class schedules. Zero disruption to students."
"My Subaru key fob stopped working after the battery died. Kwikey replaced the battery and reprogrammed the fob. They also tested the backup key blade to make sure it still worked."
Everything You Need to Know About Lock Installation
Are smart locks as secure as traditional deadbolts? expand_more
Quality smart locks from brands like Schlage and Yale are just as secure mechanically as traditional locks. They add convenience features like remote access and activity logs. We recommend models with auto-lock and tamper alerts for maximum security.
Do you come to my location or do I come to you? expand_more
We maintain a fully mobile fleet of professional locksmith laboratories. Each unit is equipped with precision machinery for on-site key cutting, diagnostic computers for automotive programming, and a comprehensive inventory of high-security hardware to resolve your request in a single visit.
How long will the locksmith service take? expand_more
The duration of our locksmith services varies based on the complexity of the hardware. Most emergency vehicle and home lockouts are resolved professionally in a single visit. Technical rekeying is a relatively quick process per cylinder, while complex automotive programming or high-security hardware installation may require additional time. We provide an honest duration estimate during our initial diagnostic assessment.
Are your locksmiths background checked? expand_more
Yes, every technician undergoes a thorough background check before joining our team. We also carry full insurance. You're trusting us with access to your home or business—we take that responsibility seriously.
How many keys do I get when you rekey my locks? expand_more
Standard rekeying includes 2 new keys per lock. Need more? We can cut additional copies on-site at a small per-key charge. If you have multiple locks, we can key them all alike so one key opens everything.
Can I change locks if I'm renting? expand_more
Check your lease first—most landlords allow it if you provide them a copy of the new key. We recommend rekeying rather than replacing so you can give the old keys back when you move. Many landlords appreciate tenants who take security seriously.

Professional Lock Installation in Delaware & Pennsylvania
Whether you're upgrading worn-out hardware, adding deadbolts, or finally installing that smart lock you bought six months ago, Kwikey Locksmith provides professional lock installation throughout Delaware and Greater Philadelphia. We don't just stick a lock in a hole—we ensure proper alignment, solid strike plate installation, and smooth operation that provides real security.
We Install It Right the First Time
A great lock poorly installed is a security liability. Misaligned deadbolts don't fully engage. Loose strike plates can be kicked in. Smart locks with wrong positioning don't read correctly. Our technicians understand the details that make locks actually work—proper depth, correct backset, solid frame attachment. You get security that functions, not just hardware hanging in your door.
Which Lock Should You Choose?
The right lock depends on what you're protecting. For front doors, a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt provides serious resistance against forced entry. For interior doors, passage or privacy knobs are appropriate. For rental properties, consider smart locks with temporary access codes for tenants. And for maximum security, high-security brands like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock offer pick-resistant and bump-resistant protection that standard hardware simply can't match.
