I locked myself out of my house in Harrisburg at 11 p.m. on a Sunday during that cold snap last February. A real person answered on the second ring, gave me a flat price of $129 right then, and the technician was at my door in 35 minutes. He was in uniform, showed his ID without me asking, and had me back inside before midnight. I’ve saved the number in my phone.

We bought a 1920s twin in Allentown and every door had a different key. I called three places for rekeying quotes and Strongbox was the only one who asked about the actual lock brands instead of giving me a generic estimate. They quoted $189 over the phone, showed up with Schlage and Baldwin hardware options, and now one key opens every door. Done right - and backed in writing.

My business in Scranton needed a master key system for twelve offices and a warehouse. Other locksmiths pushed whatever they had on the truck, but Strongbox walked the building first, then recommended Mul-T-Lock for the exterior and Sargent for the interior doors because that’s what made sense for our traffic patterns. The price they quoted on Monday was the price on Friday’s invoice. No surprises, no add-ons.

I had a Medeco deadbolt that started sticking every time it rained. Two other locksmiths told me to replace the whole thing. Strongbox sent a technician who actually took the cylinder apart, found corrosion from Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles, cleaned and re-pinned it, and charged me $94 instead of $340 for a new lock. That was eight months ago and it still turns smooth.

My elderly mother in Erie called me panicking because she couldn’t get her key to turn in the front door. I called Strongbox from Philadelphia, explained the situation, and they treated her like their own family. The technician called me from her porch, confirmed the $149 price, fixed a worn Kwikset cylinder, and even checked her back door lock while he was there. No charge for the extra check. She made him a sandwich.

After a break-in attempt at our Reading storefront, I needed new commercial-grade locks installed that weekend. Strongbox answered at 7 a.m. on Saturday, had a technician there by 10 with Abloy and Yale options in stock, and finished before we opened Monday. The 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t marketing fluff - when a strike plate needed adjusting three weeks later, they came back, no paperwork, no argument.

I manage a property management company in Pittsburgh with 47 units. We’ve been burned by locksmiths who quote low and invoice high, or send different guys every time who don’t know the building history. Strongbox assigns us the same background-checked technician for every call, he knows our master key codes, and the flat price quoted on the phone is always the price on the invoice. A square deal: the price we quote is the price you pay.

My car key fob died in the parking garage at Penn State during finals week. The dealership wanted $380 and three days. Strongbox came to me, programmed a new fob on-site for less than half that, and did it in 45 minutes. The technician was uniformed, showed ID at the garage entrance, and I was back to studying. I refer every student I know.

These reviews aren’t cherry-picked. They’re the pattern we’ve built across Pennsylvania for over four decades. The same details come up again and again: a live person answers the phone, 24/7 including nights, weekends, and holidays. The price quoted is the price paid - flat, upfront, no bait-and-switch. Technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, with ID in hand. And if anything isn’t right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise means we come back, no arguing, no paperwork.
We install and service Schlage, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy, Baldwin, Yale, Kwikset, and Sargent - not because it sounds impressive, but because the right lock belongs on the right door. Named for the iron box where your grandfather kept the deed, Strongbox Lock & Safe Co. treats your security with the same seriousness.
Whether you’re locked out in Harrisburg, rekeying a new home in Allentown, or upgrading commercial hardware in Pittsburgh, we’ll be there when we say. Call (844) 643-4161 - a real person will answer, give you a flat price, and get a technician moving.
