Upper East Locksmith works in Midtown West, but the business is based on the Upper East Side, not in Midtown West. Residents, property managers and business owners there can call it for lockouts, rekeying or lock replacement, storefront and office locks, smart locks, door hardware, key duplication, high-security locks, and intercom and access control.
Who this page is for
A resident is usually deciding about one home door. Either you can't get in, or you can get in but no longer know who else holds a key.
A property manager is handling several doors at once, including shared entries and units that change hands.
A business owner is thinking about a storefront or office door that has to lock securely at closing, and about which staff members hold keys.
Which service fits your door
Residents
Emergency lockout service is for being shut out of your own door. After lost keys or a move, the choice is between rekeying and replacing the lock. Smart locks and keyless entry suit anyone who would rather open the door with a code or a phone than a key.
Rekeying changes the small spring-loaded pins inside the cylinder, the part the key slides into, so old keys stop working while the lock stays on the door. Replacement swaps out the lock itself. The door tells you which way to lean. A key that turns smoothly, a bolt that slides fully into the frame, and a housing that sits firm all point to rekeying. A key that sticks, a bolt that drags, a loose or cracked housing, or wanting a different kind of lock points to replacement.
Property managers
Rekeying between occupants means a departing tenant's keys stop working without new hardware going on the door. Door hardware repair and installation covers the parts around the lock: a closer that slams or no longer pulls the door shut, a handle that wobbles, or a latch that misses the strike plate, the metal plate in the frame it catches on. For shared entries, Upper East Locksmith also offers intercom and access control.
Business owners
Commercial and storefront locksmith work covers shop and office doors. High-security locks and restricted keys fit a business that wants control over copies, since a restricted key can't be cut freely from any blank. Key cutting and duplication handles the simpler side: spare keys for staff on standard locks.

Frequently asked questions
Is Upper East Locksmith located in Midtown West?
No. Upper East Locksmith is based on the Upper East Side and has no office or storefront in Midtown West. It does take work in Midtown West, so a request from there starts with a phone call describing the door and the problem. Questions about timing are best raised on that call.
Can I call outside regular hours if I am locked out?
Yes. Upper East Locksmith keeps a 24/7 emergency line, so you can call at night or on a Sunday, outside the regular hours of Monday through Saturday, 8:00AM to 6:00PM. Describe the door and whether it is a home or a business, and ask on that call what can be done and when.
Can one visit cover rekeying several doors in my building?
Rekeying several doors in one visit depends on the doors themselves. How many locks there are, whether they match, and whether any need replacing instead of rekeying all shape what one visit can include. Giving Upper East Locksmith a door count and a short description of each lock lets that be answered for your building.
What should I tell the locksmith when I call about a storefront door?
For a storefront door, describe the door and frame material, the type of lock, and the problem, such as a lock that will not turn, a door that will not latch, or keys still held by a former employee. Say whether the shop can be secured right now.
