After a break-in, here's what we do
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
Door Frame Is Splintered or Split
A kicked-in door usually splits the wood around the lock. A new lock on a broken frame won't hold. We install steel reinforcement plates that make the frame stronger than it was before the break-in.
Lock Was Destroyed by Force
The lock is bent, drilled through, or ripped out of the door. It can't be repaired - it needs to be replaced. We install stronger hardware that's designed to resist the same type of attack.
Your Keys Were Stolen During the Break-In
If the intruder took your keys, they can come back anytime. We rekey every exterior lock in your home so all old keys stop working immediately. You get a fresh set that only you have.
You Don't Feel Safe Sleeping There Tonight
This is emotional, not just practical. You need to know your door is solid and your locks are strong before you can rest. We make that happen the same day so you don't spend the night feeling vulnerable.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

(302) 551-2550How we restore your security
- 1
Call After the Police Clear the Scene
Always call the police first and let them finish. Once they release the scene, call us. Tell us what's damaged - the lock, the frame, or both - and we'll head your way.
- 2
We Assess All the Damage
On site, we look at everything - not just the lock, but the frame, the strike plate, and the door itself. We figure out exactly what needs to be replaced and what needs reinforcement.
- 3
You Choose Your Security Level
We show you options - standard replacement or upgraded hardware that's harder to break. No pressure, just honest options based on what was damaged.
- 4
We Replace, Repair, and Reinforce
New locks go in, the frame gets reinforced with steel plates and long screws, and everything is anchored into the structural framing of your house - not just the trim.

Just Had a Break-In? Here's What to Do Next
After the police leave, you're standing there with a broken door and a sick feeling in your stomach. Kwikey Locksmith provides same-day break-in recovery across Delaware and nearby Pennsylvania. We replace destroyed locks, repair splintered frames, and install stronger hardware so your home or business is secured before nightfall.
We Don't Just Replace - We Upgrade
Most break-ins succeed because the original hardware was weak. Builder-grade locks with short screws and hollow bolts fail under a single kick. We install commercial-strength deadbolts with solid steel bolts and anchor the strike plate into your wall studs with 3-inch screws. The same attack that worked before won't work again.
Insurance Documentation and Same-Day Service
Filing an insurance claim after a break-in is stressful enough without chasing paperwork. We provide a clear, itemized invoice showing exactly what was damaged and what we installed. And because you can't wait days for a contractor, we handle everything in a single urgent visit - new locks, frame repair, and reinforcement - so you're secured tonight.

Questions from Concordville customers
What payment methods do you accept in Concordville?
The technician can take payment on completion by the usual methods. Payment is due once the work is finished and you're satisfied, not up front.
Can you handle lock change after break-in outside normal hours in Concordville?
Urgent calls get priority dispatch outside standard business hours. The upfront-pricing policy stays the same — urgency doesn't change how we quote.
What if I'm not sure exactly what I need?
Describe the symptoms and we'll work it out on the phone. Plenty of Concordville callers aren't sure whether they need a repair or a replacement, and that's what the call is for.
Do you work with insurance claims?
We provide written records of the work and hardware fitted on Concordville jobs, which is generally what insurers ask for. Tell us in advance if you need particular detail.
How do I know the quote won't change once you arrive?
It won't, as long as the job matches what was described on the phone. If the technician finds something genuinely different in Concordville, you'll be told and asked before any extra work happens.
Do I need to be present for the work in Concordville?
For most jobs yes — we verify authority over the property or vehicle before starting. If that's difficult, call (302) 551-2550 and we'll work out what's practical.

Lock Change After Break-In FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
Should I call you or the police first?
Always call the police first. They need to document the scene for your report and insurance claim. Once they've finished and released the area, call us and we'll come secure the property.
Can you fix a door frame that was kicked in?
Yes. We install steel reinforcement plates that bridge the split wood and anchor into the wall studs with 3-inch screws. The frame ends up stronger than it was before the break-in.
Should I change all my locks or just the broken one?
If your keys weren't stolen, we can focus on the damaged door. But if keys are missing or the intruder had access to your key ring, we recommend rekeying every exterior lock so old keys stop working.
Will my insurance cover this?
Most homeowner's policies cover break-in damage. We provide a detailed invoice showing what was damaged and what we installed. Some clients pay a small upgrade difference out of pocket for better hardware.
Can you come at night or on weekends?
Yes. Break-ins don't follow business hours and neither do we. We treat these calls as urgent because you shouldn't spend the night with a door that doesn't lock.
