Locksmith services

Locks, keys and safes, handled by the shop on the corner.

Locked out, moving in, or upgrading the hardware on a storefront door: our licensed locksmiths do the work themselves. Over 35 years in Manhattan means we have seen your lock before, from pre-war apartment cylinders to commercial vaults.

  • 24/7 emergency response for lockouts, broken keys and stuck cylinders.
  • Licensed and insured professionals with decades of hands-on work.
  • Fair pricing with a quote before we start. No hidden charges.

Since 1988

A real storefront in Manhattan, not a call center with a dispatch number.

The full menu, five ways we keep your doors working

01

24/7 emergency lockout service

Standing outside your apartment at 2am? Call and a licensed locksmith heads over. We open the door without wrecking the frame, and if your keys are gone for good we can rekey the cylinder on the spot so the old set stops working.

02

Key cutting and duplication

Standard house keys, apartment and mailbox keys, restricted high-security blanks, and custom-cut specialty keys. Bring the original and we match it in the shop while you wait, then test it before you leave the counter.

03

Lock installation and rekeying

Basic deadbolts through advanced security hardware, for homes, offices and storefronts. New lease, new roommate, staff turnover: rekeying keeps the hardware you already own and retires every old key in one visit.

04

Safe and vault services

We handle all safe types, from a residential lockbox in a closet to a commercial vault behind the register. Expert installation and anchoring, combination changes, and service when a dial or keypad stops cooperating.

05

Security system consultation

We walk the space, look at every door and window that matters, and lay out what will actually protect it. Then we implement the plan and show your staff or your family how to use it.

35+

Years cutting keys and setting locks for Manhattan, from a storefront on the block.

24/7

Emergency response for lockouts. Call any hour and a person answers.

Licensed

Certified, insured locksmiths on staff. Trained, trusted, and face-to-face.

Fair

Transparent quotes before the work begins, with no surprise line items after.
