Call (484) 237-1233Mid-century homes
Singles and twins from the 1940s through the 1960s with original knob locks that rekey well and deadbolts added decades later that often do not line up anymore.

Shopping lots where fobs get locked in trunks and keys get lost between the cart and the car. Keys cut at the car on weekdays.
Eighth Avenue businesses
Offices, clinics, salons and shops along Eighth and Broad with keypad entries, master keys, closers and panic hardware.
Garages and side doors
Detached garages and side entries that were never rekeyed when the house sold. Added to the job for a few minutes more.
Working in West Bethlehem
West Bethlehem is the part of the city closest to Allentown, and the van reaches it from either direction: along Union Boulevard from the east or straight down from the Allentown route. Most calls here are planned rather than emergencies: a family that just bought a house on Prospect Avenue and wants every key to stop working, a landlord with a twin to rekey, a couple separating who need the old key gone, a homeowner tired of a deadbolt that needs two hands. Lockouts still happen and still get the 20 minute average.
Old deadbolts and misaligned doors
Many of these houses had a deadbolt added long after the door was hung, and sixty years of settling means the bolt no longer meets the strike. The technician adjusts the strike or the hinge before replacing anything, because half the time that is the whole problem.
