FAQs
Do you offer 24/7 emergency locksmith service in Philadelphia?
Yes. Ben Locksmith Philadelphia describes itself as a true 24/7 emergency locksmith service with no answering machines, no voicemail and no request to call back during business hours. The team says it is on standby at 3:00 a.m. on a Sunday, on holiday nights and on ordinary weekday afternoons alike.
How fast can a locksmith get to me?
The company says it aims to arrive in 20 to 30 minutes depending on your location. That window is quoted for home and apartment lockouts, business lockouts and car lockouts across Philadelphia neighborhoods.
Will you have to break my lock or damage my door to get me back in?
Ben Locksmith says that in the vast majority of cases the answer is no. Technicians use professional non destructive entry tools including air wedges, lock picks and specialized key decoders to open most residential, commercial and vehicle doors without leaving a trace. Destructive methods are described as a last resort used only when a lock is severely damaged or a high security system requires it, and the team says it always explains your options first.
Should I rekey my locks or replace them?
Both options are offered. The site notes that rekeying is often the smartest choice after a move, a lost key or a roommate moving out, because the internal pins are changed so old keys stop working and you get a new set without replacing the whole lock. Full lock installation and replacement is available when you want a security upgrade or the existing hardware is past repair.
Do you work on cars and program key fobs?
Yes. Ben Locksmith provides car lockout assistance, cuts and programs new keys for most makes and models from its mobile units, programs transponders, remote fobs and proximity keys, extracts broken keys, and repairs or replaces ignition switches. The site lists work on Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz among others, plus motorcycle key cutting and ignition replacement.
What can you do for a business?
Commercial services include business lockout response, rekeying and custom designed master key systems, commercial key duplication, high security and keyless entry lock installation with brands such as Mul-T-Lock, Medeco and ASSA ABLOY, keypad and card reader access control, panic bars and exit hardware installed to fire and building codes, and repairs to door closers, hinges and frames.
Do emergency calls cost more at night or on weekends?
The company says it does not charge hidden after hours or holiday fees. Pricing is described as clear and upfront no matter the time or day, and the team says it walks you through the cost before starting any work so you can make an informed decision.
