Licensed Upper West Side Locksmiths
Super Security Locks Smith has been keeping New York City secure for over a decade. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or one of those “ghost locksmiths” you see online. We’re real, licensed professionals who actually know what we’re doing.
Our team consists of certified technicians who work directly for us – no subcontractors, no surprises. We’ve seen every type of lock situation the Upper West Side can throw at us, from classic brownstone deadbolts to modern apartment security systems.
The Upper West Side community trusts us because we show up when we say we will, we do the work right the first time, and we don’t try to oversell you on stuff you don’t need. Simple as that.
Lock Change Process NYC
First, we come to you – no need to haul your door to some shop across town. Our technician examines your current lock setup and explains what needs to happen. We’ll tell you if you need a full lock replacement or if rekeying will do the job.
Next, we get to work. If it’s a complete lock change, we remove the old hardware and install your new lock system. We make sure everything aligns perfectly so your door closes smoothly and your lock engages properly. Sloppy installation is how break-ins happen.
Finally, we test everything multiple times and hand you your new keys. We clean up after ourselves and make sure you know how to use your new lock system. The whole process usually takes 30-60 minutes depending on what you need.
You’re back to your day with better security and one less thing to worry about.

How much does it cost to change locks in Upper West Side?
Lock change costs in Upper West Side typically start around $95 plus the cost of the lock hardware, but the final price depends on several factors. The type of lock you choose makes a big difference – a basic deadbolt replacement costs less than installing a high-security Medeco or Mul-T-Lock system.
Your door type matters too. Standard residential doors are straightforward, but if you have an unusual frame size or need modifications for proper fit, that affects pricing. We always give you an upfront quote before starting any work, so there are no surprises on your bill.
The good news is that a proper lock change is an investment in your security that pays for itself in peace of mind. We work with you to find the right balance of security and budget for your specific situation.
Should I change locks or just rekey them?
It depends on your situation and your current lock condition. Rekeying means we change the internal pins so your old keys won’t work, but we keep the existing lock hardware. This works great if your locks are in good shape and you just need to control who has access.
Lock changing means installing completely new hardware. You’d want this if your current locks are worn out, damaged, or if you want to upgrade to better security. If someone tried to break in and damaged your lock, or if you want to add features like keyless entry, you need new locks.
Here’s the practical difference: rekeying is faster and costs less, but changing locks gives you a fresh start with potentially better security features. We’ll assess your current setup and recommend the best option for your specific needs and budget.
How long does a lock change take?
Most residential lock changes take 30 to 60 minutes per lock, depending on what we’re working with. A straightforward deadbolt replacement on a standard door frame goes pretty quickly. If we need to modify the door or frame for proper fit, or if you’re upgrading to a more complex system, it takes longer.
Commercial lock changes can take more time, especially if we’re installing high-security systems or access control hardware. We factor in time for proper testing and adjustment because a lock that doesn’t work smoothly is a lock that will give you problems later.
The key is that we don’t rush the job. A properly installed lock that’s aligned correctly and tested thoroughly is worth the extra few minutes. We’d rather take the time to do it right than have you call us back because something isn’t working properly.
Do you provide locks or do I need to buy them?
We can handle it either way, whatever works better for you. We carry a full range of lock brands and types in our service vehicles, so we can usually complete your lock change on the same visit. We stock everything from basic residential deadbolts to high-security commercial systems.
If you’ve already purchased locks or have specific requirements, we’re happy to install what you provide. Just make sure the locks are appropriate for your door type and thickness. We’ll let you know upfront if there are any compatibility issues.
Our advantage is that we know which locks work best in Upper West Side conditions and building types. We can recommend options that balance your security needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences. Plus, when we supply the locks, we can warranty both the hardware and the installation.
Are you available for emergency lock changes?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency lock change services throughout Upper West Side. If someone broke in and damaged your locks, or if you’re dealing with a security situation that can’t wait until morning, we’ll get there fast.
Emergency situations get priority response. We understand that when your security is compromised, every minute matters. Our emergency technicians carry a full range of lock hardware and can complete most lock changes on the spot, even in the middle of the night.
We don’t charge extra fees for after-hours emergency service – our rates are the same day or night. That’s because we know emergencies don’t happen on a convenient schedule. When you need your locks changed right now, we make it happen without gouging you on price.
What makes you different from other NYC locksmiths?
Three things set us apart: we’re actually local, we’re properly licensed, and we don’t use subcontractors. Too many “locksmiths” in NYC are just call centers that dispatch whoever’s cheapest. We’re a real company with trained technicians who work directly for us.
We’ve been serving New York City for over a decade, so we know the buildings, the neighborhoods, and the specific security challenges you face here. We’re not learning on your dime – we’ve handled every type of lock situation the Upper West Side can throw at us.
Most importantly, we focus on getting you more security, not more services. We’ll tell you what you actually need, not try to sell you the most expensive option. Our goal is to solve your problem correctly the first time, so you can get back to your life knowing your place is secure.
