Locksmith Near Me: Where Is the Closest Basics Plus Shop?
Basics Plus operates three real storefronts in Manhattan — Union Square (121 University Place at 13th Street), the Upper West Side (2315 Broadway at 83rd Street), and Midtown (845 2nd Avenue) — plus a main shop at 91 3rd Avenue.

Why "Near Me" Should Mean a Real Shop, Not a Dispatcher
A search for "locksmith near me" in New York mostly surfaces ad networks and lead-generation dispatchers — not a shop with a street address. That distinction matters: a subcontracted "locksmith" can show up, quote a different price at the door, and hold your lock hostage until you pay it. Basics Plus is the opposite. Every job is done by the company's own trained, licensed staff — not a dispatcher pulling from a rotating list of subcontractors. Walk in with a key in your hand, or call and someone comes to your door.

What "Near Me" Gets You at Basics Plus
Whichever shop is nearest, the work is the same:
24/7 emergency lockout service — A licensed locksmith gets to your door day or night and gets you back inside without wrecking the lock. Non-destructive entry — picking, not drilling — comes first on every lockout; drilling is a last resort on a seized or high-security cylinder.
Key cutting and duplication — Standard house keys, building keys, high-security keys, and custom-cut specialty keys, cut on the spot and checked in the lock before you walk out.
Lock installation and rekeying — Basic deadbolts through advanced security hardware, for homes and businesses. New tenant, lost key, or a change of hands — old keys stop working.
Safe and vault services — All safe types, from a residential floor safe to a commercial vault, including installation and combination changes.
Security system consultation — A locksmith walks the space, tells you what actually needs upgrading, then implements it.
How It Works When You Walk In or Call
- You describe the door, lock, or safe — by phone, through the contact form, or standing at the counter with a key in hand.
- A licensed locksmith assesses the job — in person for lockouts and installs, or at the counter for key cutting.
- You hear the price before anything starts. No hidden charges.
- Non-destructive entry comes first on every lockout.
