Lockman
Lockman is a locally owned, employee-owned locksmith serving Philadelphia and nearby areas, with more than 15 years of experience behind the local team. Working from a shop on Welsh Rd and from fully equipped mobile vans, the crew covers residential, commercial, and automotive lock and key work: house and office lockouts, lock installation and replacement, rekeying, smart lock setup, master key systems, high-security hardware, panic bars, and access control. On the auto side, technicians handle car lockouts, car key replacement, transponder and key fob programming, ignition repair, and broken key extraction. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate and a flat-rate price, with no hidden fees or extra charges. Emergency locksmiths are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, and callers speak directly with a local locksmith rather than a dispatcher.

FAQs
Do you offer emergency locksmith service 24/7?
Yes. Lockman provides round the clock 24 hour emergency locksmith service, every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. House lockouts, office lockouts, car lockouts, and urgent lock repairs are all handled by the mobile team day or night.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate and a flat-rate quote, so you know what to expect before work begins. There are no hidden fees or extra charges.
Can you make a car key if I lost the original?
Yes. The auto locksmith team can create car keys, smart keys, and transponder keys even when the original is lost, and can program key fobs and remote keyless entry on site for most makes and models.
Can you open a lock without breaking it?
In most cases, yes. Technicians use lock picking tools, magnetic screwdrivers, or bypass techniques for non-destructive entry. If a lock is too damaged, or a high-security system is in place, replacement may be recommended instead.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every technician at Lockman is licensed, bonded, and insured, and the team trains continuously on new lock technology, including smart key programming, keyless entry systems, and automotive transponder key solutions.
What areas do you serve?
Lockman serves all Philadelphia neighborhoods and surrounding communities, from North and Northeast Philadelphia to West Philly, South Philly, Germantown, and Center City, including the area around Philadelphia International Airport.
Should I rekey or replace my locks after moving in?
Rekeying resets the lock's internal pins so old keys no longer work, without replacing the hardware, which makes it a budget-friendly option after a move, a lost or stolen key, or a tenant change. Lockman inspects the lock first and will tell you when full replacement is the better call.
Do you work with businesses and property managers?
Yes. Lockman designs and installs master key systems, high-security locks with restricted keyways, panic bars and exit devices, and access control with card readers, keypads, or biometric systems for offices, retail stores, warehouses, and industrial facilities.
