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.

You Can't Wait Days for This
A broken door is an open invitation. Every hour it stays damaged is another hour someone could walk in. We treat break-in calls as urgent because that's exactly what they are.
Stronger Than Before - Not Just Replaced
We don't just put back what was there. We install better hardware and reinforce the frame so the same attack method won't work again. Your door ends up more secure than it was originally.
Insurance Documentation Included
You'll need to file a claim. We provide a detailed invoice showing what was damaged and what we installed, which makes the insurance process much simpler.
You Can Sleep Tonight
After a break-in, the emotional toll is real. Knowing your door is solid, your locks are strong, and your keys are fresh helps you start feeling safe in your own home again.
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.

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.
