What We Offer
Residential Lock ServicesWe Handle It All
Locked out of your home? We restore access to houses, apartments, condos, and townhomes throughout Philadelphia using professional, non-destructive entry techniques.
Upgrade worn hardware, replace a damaged lock, or switch to a higher-security option. We carry a wide selection of residential lock hardware and install it properly the first time.
Moving into a new property or lost a set of keys? Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work โ an affordable way to secure your home without replacing hardware.
Adding a lock to a new door, upgrading to a high-security deadbolt, or installing a smart lock? Our technicians handle all residential lock installation types with precision.
Stiff, sticking, or partially broken lock? Many locks can be repaired rather than replaced, saving you money while fully restoring function and security.
Forgotten your safe combination or facing a malfunctioning safe lock? We open residential safes of all brands and types without damaging the contents inside.
Our Approach
How We ProtectYour Home
For lockouts, we always attempt professional, non-destructive entry before any drilling. This preserves your existing lock and door hardware in most cases.
After a lockout, if you want your lock rekeyed immediately so old keys no longer work, we can do it right then โ no second appointment needed.
Our technicians carry a range of residential lock hardware on every service vehicle. In most cases, lock changes and installations are completed in a single visit.
We provide a free estimate before starting. You'll know exactly what you're paying before any work begins โ no surprise charges, ever.

House Lockout Service in Philadelphia
Being locked out of your home is stressful and disruptive. Key and Entry Locksmith provides professional house lockout service throughout Philadelphia and surrounding areas, including Delaware County, Montgomery County, and Bucks County. Our technicians are trained in non-destructive entry techniques, which means we always attempt to get you back inside without damaging your lock or door โ preserving your existing hardware and keeping costs low.
We handle lockouts for single-family homes, apartments, condos, and townhomes across all Philadelphia neighborhoods โ Center City, South Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, Northeast Philadelphia, Fishtown, Kensington, Germantown, and beyond. Once you're back inside, we can also rekey your lock on the same visit if you're concerned about lost or stolen keys.
Lock Change & Lock Rekey in Philadelphia
Two of the most common residential locksmith requests we receive are lock changes and lock rekeying. Both serve the same fundamental purpose โ ensuring that only authorized keys work on your locks โ but they differ in approach and cost.
Lock rekeying modifies the internal pin configuration of your existing lock cylinder so that old keys no longer work. It's the most cost-effective option when your hardware is in good condition and you simply want to invalidate previous key copies โ ideal for move-ins, tenant changes, or lost key situations.
Lock replacement is the right choice when your existing hardware is worn, damaged, outdated, or when you want to upgrade to a higher-security lock. We carry a wide selection of residential lock hardware including standard deadbolts, high-security cylinders, keypad locks, and smart locks from brands like Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Yale, and Baldwin. Our technicians will help you select the right product for your door and your security goals.
Deadbolt Installation & Lock Upgrades
The deadbolt is the single most important lock on your front door โ and not all deadbolts provide equal protection. Many older Philadelphia homes and apartments still have grade-3 or builder-grade locks that offer minimal resistance to forced entry. Key and Entry Locksmith installs ANSI Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts that significantly increase your door's resistance to both kick-in and picking attacks.
We also install smart locks, electronic keypad locks, and keyless entry systems for homeowners who want added convenience without compromising security. Smart locks can be integrated with many home security systems and allow you to control access remotely, assign temporary codes for guests or service providers, and receive access notifications โ all from your smartphone.
Lock Repair for Philadelphia Homes
Not every lock problem requires a full replacement. Many stiff, sticky, or partially broken locks can be repaired at a fraction of the cost of new hardware. Key and Entry Locksmith diagnoses and repairs a wide range of residential lock issues including misaligned strike plates, worn key cylinders, loose or wobbly knob hardware, broken cam mechanisms, and deadbolts that won't fully extend.
Our technicians assess the condition of your lock honestly โ if a repair will restore full function and security, we'll say so. If the lock is too far gone, we'll give you a clear recommendation for replacement with transparent, upfront pricing.
