Licensed Emergency Locksmiths SoHo
Super Security Locks Smith has been the go-to solution for SoHo residents and business owners who refuse to settle for amateur hour when they’re locked out. We understand this neighborhood – from the converted loft buildings with their unique lock systems to the high-end boutiques that need immediate access without compromising security.
Every technician on our team is properly licensed through NYC Consumer Affairs, fully insured, and trained in-house. No subcontractors, no mystery workers showing up at your door. When you call us, you get our people – professionals who’ve seen every type of lock situation SoHo can throw at them.
The cast-iron buildings and converted spaces in this area often have lock configurations that stump other services. We’ve been working in SoHo long enough to know which buildings have the tricky European locks, which lofts still use the original hardware, and how to handle them all without turning your emergency into a bigger problem.
Emergency Lockout Process SoHo NYC
Here’s what happens when you call us during your lockout emergency. First, we answer immediately – 24 hours a day, every day of the year. You’ll speak with someone who understands exactly what you’re dealing with and can give you an accurate time estimate for arrival. No phone trees, no “we’ll call you back.”
Our licensed technician arrives with all the specialized tools needed for your specific situation. Before touching anything, we’ll assess your lock type and explain the entry method that will cause zero damage to your door or lock mechanism. You’ll know exactly what’s happening and why.
The actual entry typically takes just a few minutes using professional-grade tools and techniques. Once you’re back inside, we can cut new keys on the spot if needed, or discuss any security upgrades that might prevent future lockouts. You pay the price we quoted over the phone – no surprise fees, no “after hours” markup that mysteriously appears on your bill.

SoHo Emergency Locksmith Coverage Areas
Our emergency locksmithing covers every type of lockout situation you might face in SoHo. Residential lockouts from those converted loft apartments with their unique door configurations, commercial lockouts from boutiques and galleries that can’t afford to stay closed, and automotive lockouts right on the busy SoHo streets.
We handle all the major lock brands you’ll find in this neighborhood – from the high-security Medeco and Mul-T-Lock systems in newer buildings to the vintage Yale and Schlage locks in the historic cast-iron structures. Smart locks, electronic access systems, traditional deadbolts – if it’s keeping you out, we can get you back in.
SoHo’s mix of residential lofts, commercial spaces, and tourist destinations means lockout emergencies happen around the clock. That’s why we maintain full 24/7 coverage with licensed technicians who know this area inside and out. Whether you’re locked out of your Spring Street apartment or your Broadway gallery, we understand the urgency and respond accordingly.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency lockout in SoHo?
We typically arrive within 15-30 minutes for emergency lockouts in SoHo, depending on your exact location and current traffic conditions. Our technicians are strategically positioned throughout Manhattan to ensure the fastest possible response times.
When you call, we’ll give you a realistic arrival estimate based on your specific address and current conditions. We don’t give false promises about “5-minute response times” that aren’t achievable in real NYC traffic. You’ll get an honest timeframe and updates if anything changes.
During peak hours or severe weather, response times might extend slightly, but we’ll communicate any delays immediately and work to get someone to you as quickly as safely possible.
Will you damage my door or lock during emergency entry?
No, we use specialized professional tools and techniques designed for non-destructive entry. Our licensed technicians are trained to open locks without causing damage to your door, frame, or lock mechanism.
Before beginning any work, we assess your specific lock type and choose the appropriate entry method. For most standard residential and commercial locks, we can achieve entry without any visible signs that the lock was ever opened. This includes the high-security locks common in SoHo’s upscale buildings.
In rare cases where a lock is severely damaged or malfunctioning, we’ll explain the situation and get your approval before proceeding with any method that might cause minimal damage. But the vast majority of our emergency entries leave everything exactly as we found it.
Do you charge extra for late night or weekend emergency calls?
No, we maintain consistent pricing for emergency locksmith services regardless of the time or day you call. Many companies in NYC add significant “after hours” surcharges, but we believe emergencies don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule.
The price we quote you over the phone is exactly what you’ll pay – no hidden fees, no surprise charges when our technician arrives. This includes weekends, holidays, and middle-of-the-night calls. Our transparent pricing policy means you can budget accurately even during stressful emergency situations.
We’ll always provide a clear price estimate before dispatching a technician, and that estimate covers the complete service including travel time, labor, and any standard materials needed to get you back inside.
Are your locksmiths properly licensed to work in New York City?
Yes, all our technicians hold valid locksmith licenses issued by the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP), which is required by law to perform locksmith services in New York City. We can provide proof of licensing and insurance upon request.
NYC licensing requirements are strict and include background checks, proof of qualifications, and ongoing compliance with city regulations. This licensing protects you from unlicensed operators who may lack proper training or insurance coverage.
We also carry comprehensive liability insurance and are fully bonded, which means you’re protected if anything unexpected occurs during service. Many locksmith scams operating in NYC use unlicensed workers, so always verify licensing before allowing anyone to work on your locks.
Can you make new keys on-site during an emergency call?
Yes, our emergency service vehicles are equipped with professional key-cutting equipment, allowing us to create new keys on-site for most lock types immediately after gaining entry. This includes standard house keys, apartment keys, and many commercial key types.
If you’ve lost your keys entirely, we can cut new ones from the lock itself in most cases. For high-security locks that require special blanks or electronic programming, we carry the most common types in our vehicles and can handle the majority of situations immediately.
In rare cases involving specialized or vintage locks that require custom blanks, we may need to schedule a follow-up visit with the specific materials needed. But for 95% of emergency situations in SoHo, you’ll have working keys in hand before we leave.
What types of locks can you handle in SoHo's older buildings?
We’re experienced with the full range of lock types found in SoHo’s diverse building stock, from vintage locks in cast-iron buildings dating back over a century to modern electronic systems in newly converted lofts. This includes mortise locks, rim locks, cylinder locks, and the European-style locks common in many SoHo buildings.
Many of SoHo’s historic buildings have unique lock configurations that can stump inexperienced locksmiths. We’ve worked in this neighborhood long enough to understand these systems and carry the specialized tools needed to handle them properly without damage.
Whether you’re dealing with an original 1800s lock mechanism in a historic building or a state-of-the-art smart lock in a modern conversion, our technicians have the knowledge and equipment to handle the situation professionally and efficiently.
