You get locks that work perfectly from day one. No loose handles, no keys that stick, no wondering if that deadbolt actually locked.
Your front door becomes your first line of real defense. Keys turn smoothly. Locks engage with that solid click that means business. You walk into your home knowing it’s actually secure.
That’s what happens when licensed professionals with 45 years of combined experience handle your lock installation. Not some handyman who “does a little locksmith work on the side.”
We’ve secured properties throughout Two Bridges for over a decade. We’ve installed locks in the residential buildings along Madison Street, upgraded security for businesses near South Street, and handled emergency calls from Gouverneur Gardens to Pier 35.
Every technician is licensed, insured, and trained directly by us. No subcontractors. No “my cousin knows locks” situations. Just professional locksmith work that meets NYC building codes and insurance requirements.
We understand Two Bridges. The older building challenges. The rental property requirements. The security concerns that come with urban living. That local knowledge matters when your safety is on the line.
We start by examining your door, frame, and current security setup. Different locks work better on different doors, and we’ll recommend exactly what makes sense for your situation and budget.
Installation comes next. We measure precisely, drill carefully, and install everything to manufacturer specifications. Your door alignment gets checked. Hardware gets tested multiple times. Nothing gets called “done” until it works perfectly.
Before we leave, you get a complete walkthrough. How to operate your new lock. What maintenance it needs. When to call us if something seems off. You’re not just getting a lock installed – you’re getting peace of mind that lasts.

Two Bridges properties need locks that handle real NYC conditions. That means deadbolts that work in 1950s door frames, smart locks that stay connected despite thick walls, and keyless systems that don’t fail during winter temperature swings.
We install everything from Grade 1 deadbolts to biometric access systems. High-security locks for ground-floor apartments near the waterfront. Smart locks that work with building intercoms. Commercial-grade hardware for Market Street businesses that need reliable access control.
Every installation includes proper door reinforcement when needed. We know which locks work best in older buildings, which smart systems integrate smoothly with existing infrastructure, and how to upgrade security without violating lease agreements.
Standard deadbolt installation takes 30-45 minutes per lock. Smart locks or high-security systems typically need 60-90 minutes depending on complexity.
Older Two Bridges buildings sometimes require door frame adjustments or reinforcement. This adds time but ensures your lock works properly and provides real security.
We’ll assess your specific situation and give you an accurate time estimate upfront. No rushing through the job, no leaving until everything works exactly right.
Grade 1 deadbolts are your best starting point for most apartments. They provide excellent security and work well with older door frames when properly installed.
Smart locks can work great if you have reliable internet and your landlord approves the upgrade. We recommend models that don’t require major door modifications.
For ground-floor apartments or units with street access, we often suggest additional security measures like reinforced strike plates or door viewers. The key is matching security to your specific risk level.
Yes, most leases require landlord approval for lock changes. We provide all documentation needed for your landlord’s records and insurance requirements.
We only install hardware that meets NYC building codes and typical lease requirements. This protects you from potential lease violations while improving your actual security.
If you’re unsure about your lease terms, check before scheduling. We’re happy to discuss the installation with property managers or landlords directly.
Absolutely. We’ve installed locks on doors dating back to the 1940s throughout the neighborhood. Older buildings have character, but they can definitely be secured properly.
Historic doors sometimes need reinforcement plates or custom hardware positioning. We handle these modifications carefully to preserve the door’s integrity while adding real security.
Our experience with NYC’s older buildings means we know how to work around unusual door thicknesses, vintage hardware, and unique architectural details without compromising the installation.
Every installation includes lock assessment, professional installation, hardware testing, and operation walkthrough. We also provide documentation for landlords or insurance if needed.
If your door needs reinforcement or adjustment for proper lock function, we handle that too. The goal is a lock that works perfectly, not just one that’s technically “installed.”
All work comes with our service warranty. If something isn’t working right after installation, we come back and fix it at no additional charge.
Standard deadbolt installation runs $85-150 per lock including labor. Smart locks and high-security systems cost more due to additional complexity and setup time.
Final pricing depends on lock type, door condition, and any reinforcement needed. We provide written estimates before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
Emergency or after-hours service includes additional fees. But for scheduled appointments during regular hours, you get straightforward pricing with no surprise charges.
