The Lock Gets Looked At First
Algon Locksmith works for homeowners, renters, landlords and small business owners across Philadelphia: rowhouses and walk-ups, apartments that change tenants every year, and storefronts and offices where the back door has to lock properly. Remy Kinney started the company in 2018.
The jobs since then have ranged from freeing one stuck cylinder on a front door to rekeying every lock in a building. The approach stays the same: find out what the lock is actually doing, then repair or replace only the parts that need it.

Door Locks, Deadbolts and Car Keys
Most calls start with a lock that sticks, a key that went missing after a move, or a back door that will not latch. The work falls into these kinds, for houses, apartments, businesses and cars.
Repairs
Keys snapped off in the cylinder, deadbolts that will not throw, handles that sag and latches that miss the strike are fixed on site.
In older Philadelphia rowhouses a door that has settled out of square is often the real cause, so the strike and the latch get checked along with the lock.
Installations and Replacements
Deadbolts, keypad and smart locks, mortise locks, high-security cylinders, panic bars and exit devices, plus replacement car keys and fobs.
Shops along the older commercial blocks often still run mortise locks, and many of them can take a new cylinder instead of a whole new lock body.
Maintenance and Inspections
Lubrication and adjustment, door and latch alignment, rekeying, key duplication and spare key sets for a household or a workplace.
Humid Philadelphia summers and wet winters make wooden doors swell and shrink, and that is usually when a latch starts to need a push.
Urgent Service
Locked out of a home, a car or a business, a key snapped in the lock, or a lock damaged in a break-in.
If anyone is in danger, call 911 first. For the lock itself, call the number below and say where you are and which door or vehicle it is.
Home and Apartment Locks
Rekeying after a move, lock changes between tenants, key duplication across several units, deadbolt upgrades and sliding door security.
In a walk-up or a converted twin, the street door, the unit door and the mailbox often take three different keys, and all three can be sorted out in one visit.
Car Keys
Car lockouts, spare key cutting, transponder key programming when a spare is needed and the dealership is not close, key fob replacement and broken keys pulled from a door or ignition.
With so much street parking in the city, a car lockout is usually handled right at the curb where the car sits.
Reviews From Philadelphia Customers
Our storefront lock was turning but the bolt wasn't catching, just kind of clicking. Algon sent a tech who found a broken cam inside the mortise lock and had the part on the truck, so he fixed it instead of swapping the whole thing. He tested it a bunch of times with both keys. Works perfectly now. He told me the lock body itself was still solid and didn't push a new one on me.
The tech from Algon came out to rekey all the locks after we bought our house. He did the front, back and side door plus the basement door we forgot to mention, and set them all to one key. Gave us extra copies before he left. Everything works smooth. My only note is he was about half an hour past the window, but he texted ahead to let me know. Great work otherwise and fair for the job.
Our front door deadbolt started sticking and then wouldn't turn at all on a Friday night. Called Saturday morning and the tech was here before lunch. He took the lock apart and said the cylinder was worn out. Explained the options and replaced it on the spot. Cleaned up the shavings too. Very happy.
