Professional Lock Installation Services
You’ll stop worrying about who else has keys to your apartment. No more wondering if that old deadbolt will actually stop someone who really wants to get in.
Professional lock installation means your doors become real barriers instead of suggestions. Smart locks let you control access remotely and see exactly who’s coming and going.
Your family gets the security they deserve, and you get peace of mind that comes from knowing the job was done right the first time.
Licensed Locksmiths Upper East Side
Super Security Locks Smith has worked on everything from pre-war brownstones to modern high-rises throughout the Upper East Side for over a decade. We know which locks work best with your building’s specific architecture and requirements.
Every technician is licensed with the New York State Division of Consumer Protection, bonded, and insured. We don’t use subcontractors or send random guys with tools to your door.
When you call at 2 AM because your lock failed, we answer. When your co-op board has specific requirements, we know how to meet them. That’s what over 10 years in this neighborhood teaches you.
Lock Installation Process
We start by looking at what you actually need, not what we want to sell you. Your door, your building’s requirements, your security concerns – that’s what determines our recommendation.
You get upfront pricing before any work starts. No “additional fees” that magically appear later. We arrive with quality hardware from brands like Schlage, Yale, and Medeco that actually work long-term.
Most installations take 30-60 minutes. We test everything, clean up completely, and show you how to use your new lock system. If something isn’t working perfectly, we fix it before we leave.

Upper East Side Lock Services
Professional installation starts with understanding your building. Pre-war apartments need different approaches than new construction. Co-op buildings have rules that need following. We handle the details you shouldn’t have to think about.
Smart lock installation includes complete setup – mobile apps, user codes, integration with existing systems. You’re not left figuring out complicated instructions after we leave.
Commercial properties get master key systems that actually work across multiple units. Property managers appreciate that we coordinate schedules, work efficiently, and maintain consistent security standards without constant supervision.
How long does lock installation actually take in these older buildings?
Most residential installations take 45-90 minutes, but older Upper East Side buildings often need extra time. Pre-war doors weren’t built for modern security hardware, so we sometimes need to modify door frames or reinforce mounting points.
Smart locks take longer because we set up all the digital features – mobile apps, user codes, notifications. We also test connectivity with your building’s systems, which can be tricky in buildings with thick walls or interference issues.
We always give you realistic time estimates upfront. If your building has unique challenges, we’ll spot them during our initial assessment and adjust expectations accordingly. Same-day service is available for most standard installations.
Which locks actually work best in Upper East Side buildings?
The best lock depends on your specific door and building requirements, not what’s popular or cheapest. Pre-war buildings often need mortise locks that fit existing door preparations, while newer construction can handle cylinder deadbolts.
Smart locks work great for convenience, but only if your door is thick enough and your wifi reaches the entrance. High-security locks from Medeco or Mul-T-Lock offer real protection against picking and drilling – important in a high-density area.
We know which systems work reliably in different Upper East Side building types. Your co-op board’s requirements, your door’s condition, and your actual security needs determine what we recommend.
Do you really respond to emergencies at night and weekends?
Yes, we maintain 24/7 emergency service throughout the Upper East Side because lock failures don’t wait for business hours. Broken locks after attempted break-ins, doors that won’t secure properly, or locks that completely fail need immediate attention.
Our typical emergency response time is 15-20 minutes. We stock common lock types on service vehicles, so most emergencies can be resolved immediately. For specialized hardware, we provide temporary security solutions while sourcing the exact products you need.
Emergency installations get the same quality work as scheduled appointments. We understand that security issues in Manhattan can’t wait, especially when you’re dealing with expensive property and valuable contents.
What does professional lock installation actually cost?
Basic deadbolt installation typically runs $150-250 including labor, depending on your door’s condition and any modifications needed. Smart locks range from $300-600 total, varying by features and complexity of setup.
High-security locks cost more because the hardware is more expensive and installation takes longer. Commercial jobs and master key systems require additional time and specialized components.
We provide complete upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Property managers handling multiple units get volume discounts, and we can work around tenant schedules. Every quote includes the lock, professional installation, complete testing, and training on your new system.
Are you actually licensed, or just saying that?
Every locksmith on our team is licensed with the New York State Division of Consumer Protection – you can verify our credentials online. We’re also bonded and insured, which protects you if anything goes wrong.
Unlike companies that use random subcontractors, every technician is directly employed and trained by Super Security Locks Smith. This means consistent quality and actual knowledge of local building codes and security requirements.
We carry proper licensing for both residential and commercial work throughout Manhattan. You can check our insurance coverage and licensing status before any work begins – legitimate companies don’t mind proving their credentials.
Can you work with our building's specific requirements?
We regularly work with co-op boards and building management throughout the Upper East Side, so we understand aesthetic requirements, architectural guidelines, and approval processes. Many buildings have specific finish requirements or historical preservation needs.
We stock locks in multiple finishes – brass, bronze, satin nickel, black – to match existing hardware. For historic buildings, we source period-appropriate hardware that provides modern security without compromising architectural integrity.
Our decade of experience in this neighborhood means we know how to balance security, functionality, and building compliance. We handle coordination with building management when required and ensure all work meets local regulations and building-specific rules.
