Yes. Long Island City Locksmith is based in Long Island City, travels to Manhattan, and offers mobile locksmith service, so the locksmith comes to your apartment, building, or business instead of you visiting a shop. Emergency lockout help is available 24/7, and lock changes, rekeys, smart locks and keypads, door repair, and intercom and access control can be planned for Manhattan doors.
Apartment, building, or storefront: what you are deciding
An apartment resident usually has one door in mind: the lock on their own unit. The question is narrow. Is the lock failing, are there keys out there that should not be, or do you want a different lock on that door?
A property manager is looking at many doors at once. Lobby entries, the call panel at the street, and unit locks that change hands between occupants all belong to the same problem, which is who can get into the building.
A business owner has a storefront or office door that opens all day and has to lock properly at night. The decisions are about sturdier hardware, who holds keys, and whether a keypad would replace handing out copies.
Call now or plan ahead
Call now
- Locked out of an apartment, office, or storefront: 24/7 emergency lockout.
- A door that will not latch or lock, so you cannot leave it secure: door hardware and repair, or commercial locksmith for a business door.
- A lost or stolen key: lock change and rekey, so the missing key no longer opens the door.
Plan ahead
Rekeying after a move-in, extra key copies, high-security locks, smart locks and keypads, and intercom and access control for a shared entry are planned jobs. The door still locks while you decide, so none of this needs an emergency call.
What to have ready before you call
- Which door: your unit, a building entry, a storefront, or an office.
- The lock you can see: a keyed knob, a deadbolt (a separate bolt above the handle), a keypad, or a smart lock.
- Your connection to the door: you live behind it, you manage the building, or you run the business.
- Whether a shared entry, buzzer, or intercom is part of the problem.
- What is happening: a key that will not turn, a bolt that will not slide out, a dead keypad, or no key at all.
If the door is shared or the building is managed, ask management whether they need to approve work on it. That question is easier to settle before the visit than at the door.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to come to the Long Island City address for service in Manhattan?
No. Long Island City Locksmith offers mobile locksmith service, so a Manhattan job happens at your door. The address at 43-37 Hunter St is in Long Island City, not Manhattan. You can stop by if that suits you, but a Manhattan request does not require the trip.
Can a property manager call about several doors or a shared entry in Manhattan?
Yes. Long Island City Locksmith offers commercial locksmith work, lock change and rekey, and intercom and access control, which together reach unit doors and shared entries. Before calling, count the doors involved and note which ones share a key or an entry system, so the request starts with the whole picture.
Is rekeying different from changing a lock, and which should I ask about?
Yes. Rekeying changes the small pins inside a lock's cylinder, the part the key slides into, so old keys stop working while the hardware stays. Changing a lock replaces the hardware itself. Rekeying fits a lock that works but has keys you cannot account for. A worn, damaged, or unwanted lock points to a change. Long Island City Locksmith offers both.
Can a locksmith help with an intercom or keypad entry at a Manhattan building?
Long Island City Locksmith offers both intercom and access control and smart locks and keypads. When you call about a building entry, say which part is acting up: the call panel at the door, the door release that unlocks the entry, or a keypad that ignores codes.
