Why Paoli Trusts Us for Lock Repair
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.
Commuter Hub Lockouts
Paoli station sees frequent car lockouts from commuters. We respond professionally to get you on your train.
Shopping Center Service
Paoli Village Shoppes generates both car lockouts and commercial lock needs.

Why Our Lock Repair Standards Lead the Industry
The Kwikey Protocol for Lock Repair
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.
"Locked out during a rainstorm, soaking wet with groceries. Kwikey got there professionally and let me into my nice dry house. Lifesaver in a miserable situation. Can't thank them enough for the prompt response!"
"Lost transponder key for my 2019 Subaru. Kwikey cut and programmed a new one at my house. Key was about half what the dealer quoted and I didn't have to tow the car anywhere. Mobile service is so convenient!"
"Needed a duplicate key for my wife's Hyundai Sonata before she left on a road trip. Kwikey cut and programmed the transponder key while we waited in the driveway. Both keys start the car perfectly. Way faster than going to the dealership."
Solving Lock Repair Queries for Paoli
Is it better to rekey or replace locks in a new home? expand_more
Rekeying is often a smart choice for new homeowners, as it changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work. However, if the hardware is damaged or outdated, replacing the entire lock with high-security deadbolts is recommended for maximum protection.
What grade of deadbolt should I use for my home? expand_more
We recommend Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts for residential use. Grade 1 offers the highest security and is what we install on most homes. Grade 3 is builder-grade and adequate for interior doors only. Let us assess your needs.
Do you install smart locks? expand_more
Yes! We install and program smart locks from leading brands like Schlage, Yale, August, Kwikset, and more. We can help you choose the right smart lock for your needs.
I just bought a new home. Should I change the locks? expand_more
Maintaining 100% key control is the primary objective of any new property acquisition. Because you cannot verify the chain of custody for existing keys—potentially distributed to contractors, real estate agents, or previous associates—we recommend a professional rekey as a Day 1 security priority. This is the most efficient method to ensure your family possesses the only authorized credentials.
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.
What if I'm not satisfied with the work? expand_more
We provide a 90-day service commitment on all workmanship and hardware installations. If you encounter any operational issues during this period, we will return to your location for a diagnostic assessment and resolution as part of our service pledge. Your security and peace of mind are our primary operational priorities.
