Professional Lock Rekeying Outcomes for Upper Darby Clients

home

You Just Moved In—Who Has Keys?

The sellers, their realtor, old roommates, contractors, cleaners, neighbors with 'emergency' copies—you have no idea how many keys exist. The only way to know you control access is to rekey.

Lost Keys = Lost Security

Those keys you lost last month? Someone might find them. If your address is on your keychain (or findable from your car registration), you have a problem. Rekeying makes lost keys worthless.

Someone Who Had Access Shouldn't Anymore

Roommate moved out, relationship ended, employee let go. Asking for keys back doesn't ensure they didn't make copies. Rekeying is the only way to be certain.

You've Handed Out Too Many Copies

Over the years, you gave keys to family, friends, pet sitters, house sitters, Airbnb guests... Now you've lost track. Rekeying gives you a fresh count: you have all the keys.

Contractor or Service Worker Had Access

You gave the renovation crew a key for two months. Are you 100% certain no one made a copy? Rekeying after major work is smart peace of mind.

Our Professional Lock Rekeying Workflow

1

Schedule at Your Convenience

Book online or by phone. We offer professional appointments when available, or schedule at a time that works for you.

2

We Come to You—Or You Come to Our Shop

Mobile service to your location, or bring your locks to our Wilmington shop if you prefer. Either way works.

3

Inspect and Quote Before We Start

We examine each lock to confirm it's in good condition for rekeying, explain the process, and give you a transparent diagnostic quote.

4

Precision Rekeying

We reconfigure the internal pin pattern so the lock only responds to new keys. The old keys? Completely useless metal.

5

New Keys, Full Testing

You receive your new keys (as many copies as you need), and we test every lock to ensure smooth operation. If you want one key for all doors, we set that up too.

Local Feedback from Upper Darby Neighbors

"Our office building's push bar was loose and the door wasn't closing properly — huge security risk. Kwikey replaced the entire crash bar assembly, adjusted the door closer, and ensured the latch catches every time. Building management was thrilled with the work."

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Lock Rekeying

What information do you need when I call? expand_more

For the most efficient service, have ready: your location (address or cross streets), type of lockout (home, car, business), vehicle year/make/model if automotive, and any details about your lock type if you know them. This helps us dispatch the right tech with the right tools.

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.

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.

What are bump-proof or pick-resistant locks? expand_more

These locks have special pin configurations that defeat common lock-picking techniques. Brands like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock are excellent options. We recommend them for front doors and any entry visible from the street.

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.

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.
