Residential Locksmith in Philaldelphia
Complete home security solutions for your family’s safety and peace of mind 24/7.
Your Local Locksmith in Philly, for Real Homes and Real People
In a city like Philadelphia, no two homes are the same. From rowhouses in Fishtown, brownstones in Queen Village, to newly renovated condos in Northern Liberties, each neighborhood comes with its own quirks — and its own security needs.
At Ben Locksmith, we’re not some faceless franchise or call center. We’re local. We live here. We work here. And we know the city — its doors, its locks, and its people. Whether you just moved into a new home or you’ve lived in the same place for 20 years, keeping your home secure is something we take personally.
What We Do — Locksmith Services for Philadelphia Homes
Home security isn’t just about fancy locks — it’s about peace of mind. That’s why we take the time to listen to your concerns, assess your home’s vulnerabilities, and offer real solutions that fit your needs and your budget.
Here’s how we help homeowners all across Philadelphia:
Lock Installation & Replacement
Whether your old lock isn’t doing the job anymore, or you simply want a security upgrade, we install and replace all types of locks — from standard deadbolts to high-security options like Mul-T-Lock, Medeco, and Schlage Primus.
We also do fresh installations on new doors, and we’ll make sure the lock hardware is properly aligned — because a strong lock is only as good as the door and frame it sits in.
Rekeying Your Existing Locks
Not every situation calls for a full lock replacement. If you’ve just moved in, lost a key, or had a roommate move out, rekeying is often the smartest choice. We’ll change the internal pins so that your old keys stop working, and give you a new set — all without replacing the entire lock.
Fast & Damage-Free Lockout Assistance
Getting locked out happens to everyone. Whether your key is sitting on the kitchen counter or broke off in the lock, we’ll get you back inside quickly and without damaging your door.
We aim to arrive in 20–30 minutes depending on your location — and we never charge hidden “emergency” fees just because it’s late or the weekend.
Smart Lock Installation & Keypad Systems
Thinking of upgrading to a keyless entry system? We install smart locks that connect to your phone, keypad locks with PIN codes, and hybrid systems that offer both traditional and digital access.
We work with top brands like Yale, Kwikset Halo, August, and Schlage Encode, and we’ll walk you through setup, app integration, and day-to-day use.
Lock Repairs & Sticky Lock Fixes
Philadelphia weather — especially winter — can be brutal on locks. If yours is jammed, stiff, or just unreliable, we’ll diagnose the issue and repair it if possible. Our goal is to make your existing hardware work again without unnecessary replacements.
Door & Entryway Reinforcements
Your lock is only part of your home’s security. We also install door reinforcement plates, heavy-duty strike boxes, security latches, and window locks — all designed to make forced entry much more difficult.
This is especially helpful in older homes where doors or frames may be worn down or poorly aligned.
