New Kensington Locksmith Dispatch & Coverage
Numbered-street grid, Allegheny riverfront blocks, and old-home hardware across the Alle-Kiski valley.
New Kensington — New Ken to everyone local — is a Westmoreland County city of about 4.26 square miles on the Allegheny River, eighteen miles northeast of Pittsburgh. It was founded in 1891 on level ground the Burrell Improvement Company picked out for a city, and the grid it laid is still legible: numbered streets at right angles to avenues that run with the river. Arrival is typically 15 to 30 minutes.

Coverage Detail
What We Cover in New Kensington
Where we travel, what the property mix looks like, and what to tell us when you call.
New Kensington is unusually easy to navigate for a city its size, because the 1891 plan imposed order: numbered streets one way, avenues the other, with the avenues running parallel to the Allegheny. Tell us the street number and whether you are up the hill or down by the water, because the ground rises quickly away from the riverbank.
Typical Properties
Mostly early-20th-century housing built for the industrial workforce, on narrow lots along the numbered grid, with a commercial core and older apartment buildings mixed in. Door hardware is original through most of it: cylindrical knob sets and deadbolts from the 1920s to the 1950s, and heavier locksets on the commercial frontage. Hillside streets have steps up from the pavement.
Access & Dispatch Notes
Parking is on-street and generally workable, though the numbered streets are tight enough that a van may stop a door or two away. The complication is elevation: a riverfront address and one three blocks up the hill are a real climb apart. The city also uses two ZIP codes, 15068 and 15069, so give us the street as well as the number.
