Visiting 43-37 Hunter St
Long Island City Locksmith is at 43-37 Hunter St, Long Island City, NY 11101, and you can walk in. Hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, New York time.
Emergency service runs 24/7. The Hunter St address does not. A lockout is stuck at your own door, so emergency help is a mobile visit to wherever that door is.
Can you bring it in, or does it need a mobile visit?
The deciding question is whether the thing that needs work can leave the door. A key can. A copy is cut from the original key, so key copy and duplication suits a trip to Hunter St during open hours.
Work fixed to a door or a building points to a mobile visit:
- Lock change and rekey. Rekeying means changing the small pins inside the lock so old keys stop turning it.
- High-security locks and smart locks and keypads, which are fitted to a particular door.
- Door hardware and repair, such as a latch that will not catch or a door that drags.
- Commercial locksmith work and intercom and access control, which are attached to a building's doors and entry system.
- An emergency lockout, which happens wherever you are standing.
Which services fit residents, managers, and owners
For residents, a lost key or a move points to lock change and rekey. Smart locks and keypads suit someone who would rather enter a code than carry a key. High-security locks fit a door where you want keys that are harder to copy.
Property managers look after many doors and many people. The matching services are rekeying when occupants change, door hardware and repair, and intercom and access control for shared entrances.
Business owners line up with commercial locksmith work, access control for staff entry, and key duplication when more people need keys. A door closer, the arm at the top of a door that pulls it shut, falls under door hardware and repair when it slams or stops closing the door.
Before you call or come by
Have these details ready:
- Which service you think you need, even if it is a guess.
- Whether the door or lock is still in use, or locked with you outside.
- The type of property: an apartment, a house, or a commercial space.
- Whether you plan to come to Hunter St or want a mobile visit, and if mobile, where the door is.
- For key copies, the key itself.

Frequently asked questions
Can I come to the Hunter St address in person, and when is it open?
Yes. Long Island City Locksmith is at 43-37 Hunter St, Long Island City, NY 11101, and you can visit in person. Hours are 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Friday and 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday, so weekend visits end an hour earlier. A key you want copied is the clearest example of something worth bringing in.
Is emergency lockout service available outside the posted hours?
Yes. Long Island City Locksmith offers 24/7 emergency service, including emergency lockout. Outside posted hours the Hunter St address is closed, so emergency help comes to the locked door as a mobile visit. Non-urgent errands, like copying a spare key, fit better within posted hours.
Do you work with commercial properties as well as homes in Long Island City?
Yes. Long Island City Locksmith offers commercial locksmith work and intercom and access control alongside residential services such as lock change and rekey. For a commercial space, have two details ready: how many doors are involved, and whether people get in with keys, keypads, or an access control reader.
What should I have ready when I call about a lock or door problem?
When calling about a lock or door problem, describe what the lock or door is actually doing. A key that turns without moving the bolt, a latch that misses the strike plate (the metal plate on the frame that the latch slides into), and a door that rubs its frame are separate issues. Naming the one you see helps sort lock work from door hardware and repair.
