Apartment and car lockouts downtown
Center City is apartments now: the new buildings along Seventh Street, the units above the Hamilton Street shops, the converted offices near the courthouse. Doors lock behind people constantly. We open apartment doors without damage after confirming lawful possession, and we open cars in the parking decks and on the street, including the ones with the keys sitting on the seat.
Car keys made in the deck
A lost key downtown usually means the car is in a deck or a metered spot and the clock is running. We come to the car, cut and program a new key or fob for most makes on the spot, and you drive out. Lost all keys, spare keys and fobs are weekday jobs; call with the year, make and model for pricing and availability.


Rekeys for renters, landlords and new condo owners
Every move-in downtown should start with a rekey. Previous tenants, previous contractors and previous roommates all had keys. We rekey the unit to a fresh key, keyed to the building master where the landlord uses one, and we do turnover rekeys in bulk for property managers with several buildings on the same blocks.
Storefronts, offices and restaurants
Hamilton Street has a century of retail doors: original storefront locks on the older buildings, aluminum narrow-stile doors on the newer ones, and back doors onto the alleys that get the most abuse. We repair and replace commercial locks, fit panic hardware where the occupancy calls for it, and set up master key systems so the manager has one key and the staff have theirs.
For the offices in the towers, we handle suite rekeys after staff changes, lock changes on file rooms and server closets, and keypad locks where you want to stop handing out keys at all.
Center City questions
Can you get into a parking deck to make a key?
Yes. The decks downtown are open to the public, so we drive in like anyone else. Tell us which deck and which level when you call.
I rent downtown. Can I have the lock rekeyed?
With the landlord or management company on board, yes. Most leases require it, and most landlords say yes when the request comes through them. We can give the landlord a copy of the new key if that is the arrangement.
How does pricing work for a lockout downtown?
We explain our pricing structure on the phone when you call, so you know what the visit involves before we leave. The rate is the same at any hour we are open.

Wülf was great. He was prompt, arrived quickly, and kept me up to date on what was needed and pricing. He was informative, very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Would definitely utilize this service provider again.

They got to my home super quick, the prices are very reasonable, no damage done when they got my door open and were very friendly. Made the process very smooth and easy. I highly recommend.
Arieliz S., Google review
Shortly after I locked myself out, I was reassured that I’d be back on the road soon. Within a few minutes locksmith Wulf was on the phone to clear everything up and the whole process went smoothly after that. Glad I called.
