About Algon Locksmith

A Philadelphia Locksmith for Homes, Rentals and Businesses

Algon Locksmith works for homeowners, renters, landlords and small business owners across the city. Some live in rowhouses and walk-ups, some manage apartments that change tenants every year, and some run a storefront or an office where the back door has to lock properly.

For homes, the work covers lockouts, rekeying after a move or a lost key, deadbolt installation and replacing worn or broken locksets. Landlords and property managers call for lock changes between tenants and for key duplication across several units. Businesses rely on commercial rekeying, master key systems, and panic bar and exit device hardware, and drivers call about car lockouts and transponder key programming when a spare is needed and the dealership is not close.

The jobs since 2018 have ranged from freeing one stuck cylinder on a front door to rekeying every lock in a building. Whatever the size, the approach stays the same: find out what the lock is actually doing, then repair or replace only the parts that need it.

The Kinds of Lock and Key Work

Each kind of job has its own details, from the hardware involved to what is worth knowing before the visit.

• Repairs: sticking locks, deadbolts that will not throw, broken keys and sagging handles
• Installations and Replacements: deadbolts, keypad and smart locks, mortise locks and exit devices
• Maintenance and Inspections: lubrication, latch alignment, rekeying and spare key sets
• Urgent Service: lockouts, snapped keys and locks damaged in a break-in
• Home and Apartment Locks: move-in rekeys, lock changes between tenants and unit keys
• Car Keys: car lockouts, spare keys and transponder key programming

From Rowhouse Blocks to Chestnut Hill

Calls come from every part of the city, from the rowhouse blocks of South Philadelphia and the river wards to the stone twins of Germantown and Mount Airy. The neighborhoods are listed with their ZIP codes under Where We Work, along with a quick ZIP check.

The easiest way to set up a visit is the request form, which asks for the door or vehicle, the kind of lock if you know it and what happens when the key turns. A phone call works just as well.
