Advanced Lock Repair Technology for Kennett Square Residents
That Lock That Sticks Every Single Time
You know the one. Turn the key, fight it, jiggle, try again. You've been living with it for months. It's probably a worn cylinder or misaligned latch—often fixable prompts on-site.
Key Turns But Nothing Happens
The key rotates but the bolt doesn't move. The latch isn't catching the strike plate. Something's disconnected or misaligned. Usually repairable without replacing the entire lock.
Doorknob Wobbles Like It's About to Fall Off
It's gotten progressively looser over years. Internal screws are stripping, the mounting plate is worn. We can tighten, replace internal components, or tell you when it's time for new hardware.
Lock Cylinder Just Spins Freely
When the cylinder rotates without resistance, the internal cam or tailpiece is broken. We can usually replace just the cylinder—not the entire lock.
Key Is Getting Harder to Insert or Remove
Something's worn, dirty, or bent inside. Left alone, you'll end up with a key stuck in the lock or a complete failure. Easier to fix now than deal with a lockout later.
Historic Property Care
Kennett Square's charming historic district features older buildings with antique lock hardware. We service and preserve vintage locks.
Tourist Season Activity
Longwood Gardens brings over a million visitors annually, increasing car lockouts and emergency calls during peak seasons.
Agricultural Business Security
Mushroom farms and agricultural businesses in the area have unique security needs including outbuildings and storage facilities.

Our Comprehensive Lock Repair Capabilities
Step-by-Step Lock Repair Mastery
Diagnose the Actual Problem
We examine the lock, test all functions, and identify exactly what's failing. Not guessing—actually diagnosing.
Honest Assessment
We'll tell you: repair vs. replace, cost vs. benefit, and what we'd do if it were our own door. No upselling, no unnecessary replacement.
Quote Before We Work
You know the repair cost before we touch anything. If it doesn't make sense, we'll tell you other options.
Repair Using Proper Parts
We carry common replacement parts: springs, pins, cylinders, strike plates. Most repairs completed on the spot.
Test Thoroughly
We test the repaired lock repeatedly—from inside, from outside, with the door open, with the door closed. It works right before we leave.
"Restaurant needed panic bars on both exit doors for fire code compliance. Kwikey recommended the right hardware, installed it, and we passed inspection the next day. Professional work."
Everything You Need to Know About Lock Repair
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.
Do you bring hardware with you or do I need to purchase locks? expand_more
Our mobile units are stocked with a comprehensive inventory of Grade 1 and Grade 2 locks, deadbolts, and high-security hardware. While we carry components from industry-leading brands for same-day resolution, we can also source specialized hardware to meet your unique architectural or security requirements.
Can you install smart locks on standard residential doors? expand_more
Yes, we specialize in retrofitting standard doors with modern smart locks. We can help you choose a compatible system that integrates with your home automation while ensuring the physical installation is secure and professional.
Is it worth repairing an old lock or should I replace it? expand_more
We'll assess your lock and give honest advice. Sometimes a simple repair is all you need. Other times, replacing with a modern lock is the smarter investment. We don't push replacements if repair makes sense.
Should I rekey or replace my locks? expand_more
Rekeying is a precision procedure that alters the internal logic of your lock cylinder, rendering old keys useless while maintaining your existing hardware. We recommend replacement only if your hardware is structurally compromised, mechanically fatigued, or if you require an upgrade to high-security or smart-locking platforms.
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.
