You walk through your door knowing it’s actually secure. No more wondering who else might have keys. No more struggling with worn-out locks that stick in cold weather.
That’s what happens when your locks are changed by professionals who know what they’re doing. Your new locks work smoothly every time. Your keys turn easily. Your home or business stays protected from unauthorized access.
You get the confidence that comes from knowing your security is handled right.
We’ve been securing Gramercy Park properties for over a decade. We’re not the “ghost locksmiths” you see online who barely know how to rekey locks.
Every technician on our team is licensed, certified, and directly trained by us. We don’t use subcontractors. When you call us, you get our people – professionals who understand the unique security needs of Gramercy Park’s brownstones, high-rises, and everything in between.
From Peter Cooper Village to the quiet streets near the park itself, we’ve secured properties throughout the neighborhood. We know which locks work best for your building type and your security needs.
First, we assess your current locks and discuss your security needs. We examine the door condition, lock position, and your specific requirements. No guesswork – just a clear understanding of what needs to be done.
Next, we present your options. You can install the same type of lock, upgrade to something more secure, or add smart lock features like keyless entry. We explain the differences and help you choose what works best for your situation and budget.
Then we get to work. Our technicians complete the installation properly, test everything thoroughly, and make sure your new locks function perfectly. You get new keys that work smoothly, and we clean up completely before we leave.

Gramercy Park’s mix of pre-war buildings and modern constructions requires specific expertise. We understand the door types common in the neighborhood – from heavy brownstone doors to apartment building entries. Our technicians come prepared with the right tools and hardware for your specific situation.
You also get transparent pricing starting at $90-$100 depending on the lock type, with no surprise charges. We provide upfront quotes and explain exactly what you’re paying for. Same-day service is available, and we’re here 24/7 for emergency situations.
Most lock changes take 15-30 minutes per lock, depending on the complexity and your door type. Simple knob locks are quicker, while high-security or smart locks may take longer.
The condition of your door affects timing too. Older doors in Gramercy Park’s pre-war buildings sometimes need minor adjustments, while newer constructions typically have standard installations. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when we assess your specific situation.
Multiple locks or comprehensive security system installations will take more time, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day.
The best lock depends on your building type and security needs. For brownstones and townhouses, deadbolts with reinforced strike plates provide excellent security. High-rise apartments often benefit from mortise locks that integrate well with building access systems.
Smart locks are increasingly popular in the neighborhood, especially keyless entry systems that work with PIN codes or smartphone apps. These work well for both residential and commercial properties, giving you control over who has access and when.
We’ll recommend the right lock based on your door type, security requirements, and budget. Our experience with Gramercy Park’s diverse building types helps us match you with the most appropriate solution.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency lock change service throughout Gramercy Park. Whether you’ve had a break-in, lost your keys, or discovered unauthorized key copies, we can respond quickly to secure your property.
Our average response time is 25-30 minutes, depending on traffic and your exact location. We keep fully stocked vehicles in the area, so we can handle most lock changes on the spot without delays for parts or additional trips.
Emergency service includes the same professional installation and quality locks as scheduled appointments. We understand that security emergencies can’t wait, so we’re always ready to help when you need us most.
Lock change pricing starts at $90-$100 depending on the lock type and complexity of installation. The final cost depends on factors like the number of locks, type of hardware you choose, and any door modifications needed.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. After assessing your specific situation, we’ll give you a clear quote that covers labor, materials, and any additional work required. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
High-security locks, smart locks, and commercial-grade hardware cost more than basic residential locks, but we’ll explain the differences and help you choose options that fit your budget and security needs.
Yes, we handle lock changes for rental properties throughout Gramercy Park, working with both landlords and tenants. For landlords, we can rekey or replace locks between tenants to ensure security. For tenants, we need landlord approval before changing locks.
We understand NYC rental laws and can advise on the proper procedures. Landlords cannot change locks without providing new keys to tenants, as this violates unlawful eviction laws. We ensure all work complies with local regulations.
Property managers often use our services for multiple units, and we can provide volume pricing for larger buildings. We’re experienced with the various lock types common in Gramercy Park rental properties.
Yes, all our locksmiths are fully licensed, certified, and insured to work in New York. We don’t use subcontractors – every technician is directly trained by us and meets our professional standards.
Our licensing covers both residential and commercial lock work throughout NYC. We maintain proper insurance coverage to protect both our technicians and your property during service calls. You can verify our credentials and insurance status upon request.
This licensing and training difference matters. Many online “locksmith” services use unlicensed contractors who may lack proper skills or could even pose security risks. When you choose us, you get legitimate professionals who know their craft and follow proper procedures.
