Residential lockouts in New York City

A locked apartment or house door can involve a deadbolt, knob lock, mortise lock or other hardware. Tell us whether keys are lost, left inside or will not turn. We review the lock and access authorization before selecting an opening method. If you are a tenant, check your building’s access rules and have identification or proof of residency available.

Lock changes after a move or lost keys

When you move in, lose a key or want to revoke old access, consider whether rekeying existing hardware or replacing it is more appropriate. Rekeying changes which key operates a compatible cylinder; replacement changes the physical hardware. The existing condition, door preparation and security needs influence the recommendation.

Apartment and house door hardware

Door alignment, latch condition and cylinder wear can all affect how a lock operates. Describe sticking, loose fittings or difficulty closing the door rather than assuming the entire lock must be replaced. We assess the hardware and discuss suitable repair or replacement options.
