Residential

Residential locksmith services for Philadelphia homes.

From a 2 a.m. row-home lockout in South Philly to a planned smart lock install in Chestnut Hill, we handle every residential locksmith job across the city with honest pricing and fast dispatch.

Philadelphia's housing stock is unlike any other city's — original hardware on century-old row homes, renovated units with modern deadbolts, and newer construction with smart lock pre-wiring. Patriot Locksmith knows the locks common to this city and carries the parts to handle them in a single visit.

We bring everything needed for most rekeys, lock changes, and fresh installations in one trip. You won't be left waiting while we order parts. We arrive prepared and we leave when every lock works exactly the way you expect it to.

What you can call us for

Fresh installation

Installing a new lock in a door that doesn't currently have one — common after renovations, door replacements, or new builds. We bore cleanly and align the hardware so the door closes correctly.

House lockout

Locked out of your Philadelphia home? We use non-destructive entry methods first. Most lockouts are resolved without damaging the door or the lock.

Lock change

Replacing existing hardware with new locks. Recommended after a break-in attempt, when a lock is worn, or when you want to upgrade to a higher-security grade.

Lock installation

Adding a new lock alongside existing hardware — for example, a deadbolt above a knob lock, or a new lock set on a renovated door.

Rekey lock

Same lock body, new key. We re-pin the cylinder so old keys no longer work. Faster and less expensive than a lock change when the existing hardware is in good condition.

Smart key locks

Keypad, app-controlled, and auto-lock smart locks installed and configured. We help you choose hardware that fits your door and works reliably in Philadelphia's climate.
