Upper East Locksmith works in the East Village, though it is based on the Upper East Side and has no shop in the neighborhood. For East Village apartments, building entries, and storefronts, it handles lockouts, rekeying and lock replacement, key copies, high-security and smart locks, door hardware, and intercom and access control. Lockouts go to its 24/7 emergency line. Planned work fits Monday through Saturday, 8:00AM to 6:00PM.
Which service fits your door
- Locked out of an apartment, a building entry, or a shop: emergency lockout service.
- Keys lost or someone moved out: rekeying resets the pins inside the cylinder (the part the key turns) so old keys stop working. Lock replacement fits a lock that is worn, damaged, or wrong for the door.
- Need spare keys: key cutting and duplication.
- Want more say over who can copy your keys: high-security locks and restricted keys.
- Want to stop carrying keys: smart locks and keyless entry, which open without a metal key.
- A sticking door, a loose handle, or a latch that won't catch: door hardware repair and installation.
- A storefront or office door: commercial and storefront locksmith work.
- A building door with a buzzer, or an entry shared by many people: intercom and access control.
One observation sorts out a lot of door trouble. If the key turns smoothly but the door still won't stay shut, the problem usually sits in the latch or the strike plate, the metal piece on the frame that the latch catches in. That points to hardware repair rather than a new lock.
Emergency line or regular hours?
One question decides it: can you get in? If you are locked out of your apartment, your building, or your shop, that is what Upper East Locksmith's 24/7 emergency line is for.
If you can get in, the work belongs in regular hours: Monday through Saturday, 8:00AM to 6:00PM, closed Sunday. Rekeying after a move, extra keys, a smart lock, restricted keys, door hardware, and intercom changes all fit there.
What to have ready before calling
- Which door: apartment, building entry, storefront, or another business door.
- What you see on it: a knob, a lever, a separate deadbolt, a keypad, or a buzzer panel.
- What happened, or what you want done.
- Whether it is a home, a shared building, or a business, and your role there.
- The street address of the door in the East Village.
With that in hand, call Upper East Locksmith at (347) 444-9725 and say first whether you are locked out or planning work.
