We handle every type of lock emergency you can imagine. Home lockouts, broken keys stuck in locks, damaged door hardware after attempted break-ins, and commercial security upgrades for local businesses.

How fast can you get to me during an emergency lockout?
We typically reach Upper West Side locations within 30 minutes of your call. Our locksmiths are strategically positioned throughout Manhattan, so we’re never starting from scratch when you need help.
Response times can vary slightly based on traffic conditions and time of day, but we prioritize true emergencies. If you’re locked out in unsafe conditions or have a security concern, we’ll get to you as fast as physically possible.
Unlike some services that give you a 4-hour window, we give you real-time updates on your locksmith’s location so you know exactly when to expect help.
Will you damage my door getting me back inside?
Our licensed locksmiths use non-destructive entry methods in over 95% of lockout situations. We have specialized tools designed to work with different lock types without damaging your door, frame, or lock mechanism.
Sometimes older locks or damaged hardware require replacement, but we always explain your options before proceeding. If we do need to drill a lock, we carry replacement hardware and can install a new lock immediately.
Your property protection is part of our professional service. We’re not going to leave you with a broken door that won’t secure properly.
Do you work with Upper West Side property management companies?
Yes, we work extensively with real estate management companies, construction firms, and building superintendents throughout the Upper West Side. We understand the unique needs of managing multiple properties.
We can handle tenant lockouts, emergency lock changes after security incidents, master key system installations, and scheduled maintenance. Many property managers keep our contact information for after-hours emergencies.
We’re familiar with the different building types in the neighborhood and can coordinate with building management to ensure proper access and security protocols are followed.
What makes your locksmiths different from other services?
Every locksmith on our team is licensed, which isn’t always the case with other services. We train all our locksmiths in-house rather than hiring subcontractors, so you get consistent, professional service every time.
We’ve been serving this specific neighborhood for over a decade, so our locksmiths understand Upper West Side buildings, common lock types, and local security challenges. This isn’t just another service call for us.
We’re also fully insured and bonded, which protects you if anything goes wrong. Many fly-by-night operators don’t carry proper insurance, leaving you vulnerable if they damage your property.
Can you help with commercial locksmith emergencies?
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency locksmith services for Upper West Side businesses, from small retail shops to larger commercial buildings. Business lockouts can be especially costly, so we prioritize getting you back inside quickly.
We handle everything from simple door lockouts to complex access control system failures. Our locksmiths are trained on electronic locks, keypad systems, and high-security commercial hardware.
We can also provide emergency security upgrades if you’ve had a break-in or security breach. Getting your business properly secured again is critical for your peace of mind and your customers’ safety.
How much do emergency locksmith services cost in Upper West Side?
Emergency lockout services typically range from $100-200 depending on the time of day and complexity of your lock system. We provide transparent pricing upfront with no hidden fees.
Late night and weekend calls may include a small emergency service fee, but we’ll tell you the exact cost before starting any work. We accept cash, credit cards, and can work with insurance companies if your lockout was due to a covered incident.
Unlike some services that quote low prices then add fees, our price includes the service call, labor, and basic lock operation. Additional costs only apply if you need new hardware or specialized high-security locks.
