When you need a lock where there isn't one
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.
New Door With No Lock At All
You added a door to your garage entry, basement, or a new room and it needs a lock from scratch. We drill the holes, cut the pockets, and install everything so it fits perfectly and works smoothly.
Old Locks That Look and Feel Terrible
The locks that came with your house are cheap, ugly, and barely functional. You want something that actually looks good and works well. We remove the old hardware and install quality replacements.
Moving In and Want Fresh Locks
You just bought a house and have no idea who has copies of the old keys. Rather than rekeying, you want brand new hardware - new locks, new keys, fresh start. We handle the full swap.
Adding a Lock to an Interior Door
Home office, bedroom, or storage room needs privacy or security. We install the right type of lock for interior use - whether that's a privacy knob or a keyed lock.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

(302) 551-2550Why professional installation matters
No Binding, No Sticking, No Forcing
A properly installed lock turns smoothly every time. DIY installs often leave the bolt fighting the frame, which wears out the lock fast. We align everything so it glides.
Your Door Stays Intact
Drilling a door wrong can crack it, void warranties, or leave ugly gaps. We use professional jigs and sharp bits that cut clean holes exactly where they need to be.
Real Security, Not Just a Lock Shape
We install strike plates with 3-inch screws that reach the wall studs - not the 1/2-inch screws that come in the box. This is what actually stops a door from being kicked in.
One Key for All Your Doors
If you're installing multiple locks, we can key them all the same so you carry one key instead of a jangling ring. Convenient without sacrificing security.
Need a New Lock Installed on Your Door?
Whether you're adding a lock to a door that's never had one or upgrading old hardware to something better, Kwikey Locksmith handles the full installation across Delaware and nearby Pennsylvania. We drill, fit, and align locks on wood, metal, and fiberglass doors - making sure everything works smoothly and securely from day one.
Why Professional Installation Beats DIY
Installing a lock looks simple in the YouTube video, but getting the alignment right is where most people struggle. If the bolt doesn't line up perfectly with the strike plate, you end up forcing the door shut every time - which wears out the lock and eventually leads to failure. We use professional templates and jigs to get it right the first time.
Upgrades, New Doors, and Multi-Lock Keying
Moving into a new home? Adding a door to your garage entry? Tired of carrying five different keys? We handle all of it. We can install fresh hardware on new doors, replace worn-out builder-grade locks with quality upgrades, and key multiple locks alike so one key works everywhere. Full pricing provided before we start.

Questions from Crum Lynne customers
Do you offer any warranty on lock installation?
Yes — labor and any hardware we supply are covered. If something isn't right after a Crum Lynne job, we return and put it right.
What payment methods do you accept in Crum Lynne?
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.

It's routine work for us across Delaware County. That volume is why our quotes are accurate and our technicians arrive with the right parts.

No. Crum Lynne sits inside our coverage area, so there's no distance surcharge on jobs here.

Lock Installation FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
Can you install a lock I already bought?
Yes. We install any major brand - Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, whatever you've got. We'll verify it fits your door and handle all the mounting and alignment.
Do you need to drill new holes if I'm replacing an old lock?
Usually no - most replacement locks fit the same holes. But if you're changing to a different style or adding a lock where there wasn't one, we'll drill new holes cleanly.
Can you make all my new locks use the same key?
Yes. If you're installing multiple locks, we can key them alike on site so one key opens every door. This works with most standard residential hardware.
What's the difference between a Grade 1 and Grade 2 lock?
Grade 1 is commercial-strength - built for heavy use and maximum force resistance. Grade 2 is high-quality residential. For most homes, Grade 2 is plenty. We'll recommend based on your needs.
How long does installation take?
A straightforward replacement takes about 20-30 minutes per lock. Fresh installations on doors with no existing holes take 45-60 minutes because of the drilling and prep work.
Need a new lock installed?
Tell us what door needs a lock and whether you already have hardware or need us to bring it. We'll confirm availability, check your door type, and come prepared with the right tools.
