Why choose us?
No surprises. No call centers. No damage.
Four things that set us apart from every other locksmith in Philadelphia.
We tell you the price before we start
No one likes surprises when they’re already stressed out. Before we touch your lock, we’ll tell you what it’s going to cost. If you need a lock replaced, that’s extra, but again, we’ll quote it before we start.
You’re talking to us, not a dispatcher
Jefferson Locksmith is a real business at 128 Leverington Ave in Manayunk. When you call, you’re talking to someone who actually knows what ‘near the stadiums’ means in Philadelphia, and who knows that Manayunk traffic on a Friday adds 10 minutes.
We’re trained in non-destructive entry
We pick it, bypass it, use the right tool for the job. Your lock works fine when we leave. The only time we drill is if there’s literally no other option and on a standard residential lock, that’s rare.
Honest about our hours
We’re open 6am to 11pm, 7 days a week. That’s 17 hours a day. If you need help at 3am, we’ll tell you honestly and help you find someone who can because pretending to be ‘24/7’ and then not picking up is worse.
