FAQs
What locksmith services do you offer?
Jefferson Locksmith covers residential, automotive, commercial, and emergency locksmith work as a mobile service. That includes house lockouts, rekeying, deadbolt and smart lock installation, car lockouts, lost key replacement, transponder and key fob programming, ignition service, office lockouts, master key systems, commercial rekeying, panic bars, access control, and electric strikes for doors.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Jefferson Locksmith holds PA Home Improvement Contractor License #PA166202, which can be verified through the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office, and carries general liability coverage on every job. The company is also BBB A+ accredited. Pennsylvania has no statewide licensing requirement for locksmiths, so it is worth confirming credentials before you call anyone.
Are you available 24/7?
No. Jefferson Locksmith is open 6 AM to 11 PM, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. The company is upfront that it does not operate around the clock, and if you need help outside those hours the team will say so and point you toward someone who can help.
Do you charge for estimates?
On-site estimates are free with no obligation. Final quotes are not given over the phone, because an accurate price requires seeing the lock, the door, and the full scope of the job in person. A technician assesses the situation and presents clear pricing options before any work starts.
Will you damage my lock to get me in?
Technicians are trained in non-destructive entry, which means picking or bypassing the lock with the right tool rather than drilling it. Drilling is used only when there is no other option, and on a standard residential lock that is rare.
How quickly can a locksmith get to me?
Response time in Philadelphia is typically 20 to 30 minutes. Jefferson Locksmith runs a mobile operation out of 128 Leverington Ave in Manayunk and travels to your car, home, or business rather than asking you to come in.
Can you replace or program car keys?
Yes. The automotive side handles car lockouts, lost key replacement, transponder programming, smart key duplication, key fob repair, and ignition service across all makes and models. The work is done on site, so there is no tow and no wait at a dealership.
Is there a warranty on the work?
Jefferson Locksmith offers a 1 year warranty on parts and labor. Warranty terms on the lock hardware itself vary, since different locks carry different coverage under their manufacturer's policy.
