Locksmith in University City, Philadelphia

Locked out of an apartment near campus, lost the only car key in a parking garage, or turning over a rental between tenants? We are based a short drive west of University City and answer the phone 24 hours a day.

Students and Renters

Most homes in University City are apartments and shared houses. Before you call a locksmith, check whether your landlord or property manager can let you in. If you live in a university residence hall, the housing office handles lockouts, so call them first.

For a private apartment or house we will ask for a photo ID and something that shows you live there, such as a lease, a piece of mail, or a call to your landlord. That check protects you as much as anyone.

Landlords and Property Managers

  • Re-keys at turnover so last year's tenants cannot come back in
  • Several doors keyed alike, or a master key for the building
  • Deadbolts and lock hardware replaced between leases
  • Extra key sets cut for new tenants

FAQ

University City Locksmith — Common Questions

I am locked out of my apartment. Can you open it?

Yes, for private apartments and houses, once we have checked your ID and that you live there. For a university residence hall, contact the housing office instead.

Can my landlord object to a re-key?

If you rent, ask your landlord before changing or re-keying a lock. Most leases require their permission and a copy of the new key.

Are you open during move-in week and holidays?

Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
