About us
Basics Plus has served Manhattan from storefront locations for more than 35 years. You walk in, you talk to the person who cuts your key, and you leave with work that fits your door. Standard house keys, high-security keys, custom-cut specialty keys: we make all types, right here on the spot.
We also handle every kind of lock installation, from a basic deadbolt to an advanced security system, for homes, buildings, and businesses. Our staff is trained, licensed, and part of the neighborhood. Fast, friendly, face to face.
Our Union Square shop on University Place, open to the sidewalk since the neighborhood looked very different.

Emergency lockouts
Locks are all we do here. Decades of key cutting, rekeying, and safe work taught us the doors in this city: prewar apartment jambs, storefront gates, office suites with a dozen tenants on one master system. We quote the job before we start it.
01
Locked out at 6am or 2am, we pick up the phone. A licensed locksmith gets to your door and gets you back inside without wrecking the lock.
02
House keys, building keys, high-security keys, and custom-cut specialty keys. Cut on the spot in the shop and checked in the lock before you walk out.
03
Basic deadbolts through advanced security hardware, for homes and businesses. New tenant, lost key, or a change of hands: we rekey so the old keys stop working.
04
We handle all safe types, from a residential floor safe to a commercial vault, including expert installation and combination changes.
05
Walk the space with us and we will tell you what actually needs upgrading, then implement it. Straight answers, transparent quotes, no hidden charges.
Every job is done by our own trained staff, not a dispatcher with a rotating list of subcontractors.
