Lock Change Services Brooklyn NY
Every lock change includes professional installation of high-quality hardware suited to your specific needs. We work with deadbolts, cylinder locks, smart locks, and specialized security systems—whatever makes sense for your property and budget.
In East New York, we see a lot of requests for upgraded security after break-ins or attempted break-ins. The neighborhood’s mix of residential and commercial properties means we handle everything from apartment deadbolts to complex master key systems for property managers.
You’ll also get our guarantee that the work is done right. If you have any issues with locks we’ve installed, we come back and fix them. No arguments, no excuses—just professional service that stands behind the work.
How long does a lock change take in East New York?
Most residential lock changes take 30-45 minutes per lock, depending on the type of hardware and condition of your door. If you’re replacing basic cylinder locks with similar models, we’re usually done quickly.
More complex installations—like upgrading to high-security deadbolts or installing smart locks—can take longer. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when we assess your specific situation.
The key is having the right tools and experience, which means we don’t waste time figuring things out on your doorstep.
What types of locks work best for East New York homes?
For most East New York residential properties, we recommend Grade 1 deadbolts as your primary security. These locks meet the highest standards for strength and durability, which matters in an urban environment.
If you’re in an older building, we might suggest jimmy-proof locks, which are specifically designed for doors that don’t have a lot of space for traditional deadbolt installation. For newer construction, smart locks with backup key access are increasingly popular.
The best choice depends on your specific door, budget, and security needs. We’ll walk through the options that make sense for your situation.
Do you provide emergency lock change service 24/7?
Yes, we’re available 24 hours a day for emergency lock changes throughout East New York and Brooklyn. Break-ins, lock malfunctions, and security concerns don’t wait for business hours.
Our emergency service includes the same professional installation you’d get during regular hours. We carry common lock types in our vehicles, so we can often complete the work immediately rather than scheduling a return visit.
Emergency calls do include additional fees for after-hours service, but we’re upfront about pricing before we start any work.
How much does lock change service cost in Brooklyn?
Basic cylinder lock replacement typically runs $150-250 per lock, including labor and standard hardware. Higher-security locks or smart lock installation costs more, usually $200-400 per lock depending on the specific model and complexity.
The total cost depends on how many locks you’re changing, what type of hardware you choose, and whether any door modifications are needed. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
We don’t charge service call fees or surprise you with hidden costs. The estimate we give you is what you pay.
Can you rekey locks instead of replacing them completely?
Absolutely, and rekeying is often the more cost-effective option if your existing locks are in good condition. Rekeying changes the internal mechanism so your old keys won’t work, but you keep the same lock hardware.
This works well when you’ve moved into a new place, had a roommate move out, or lost keys and want to ensure security. Rekeying typically costs $75-125 per lock compared to full replacement.
However, if your locks are old, damaged, or low-security models, replacement might be the better long-term investment. We’ll assess your current hardware and recommend the most practical approach.
Are your locksmiths licensed to work in New York?
Yes, all our locksmiths are properly licensed to work in New York State and New York City. We’re also bonded and insured, which protects both you and us during the work.
Being licensed means we’ve met the training and background check requirements that New York requires for locksmith work. It also means we stay current on local building codes and security standards that affect lock installation.
You can verify our licensing status, and we’re happy to provide proof of insurance before starting any work. Professional credentials matter in this business, and we maintain all required certifications.
