Which service fits your situation
Locked out right now
The 24/7 emergency lockout service is for the moment you cannot get through your own door. That includes keys left inside or a lock that will not turn.
Homes and apartments
Lock change and rekey fits a move-in or a lost key, and key copy and duplication handles spares. High-security locks are made to resist key copying and tampering. Smart locks and keypads let you enter with a code instead of a key.
Door hardware and repair is the pick when the door itself is the problem. Watch for a latch that misses its opening in the frame, or a door you have to shove before it will lock.
Buildings and businesses
Commercial locksmith work handles locks on shop and office doors. Intercom and access control deals with shared entrances, such as buzzer panels and controlled entry doors. Building-wide requests from Bronx property managers and owners usually belong here.
Locked out now, or planning a change?
One rule sorts most requests. If you cannot get in, or the door will not lock behind you, treat it as an emergency and call. Long Island City Locksmith offers 24/7 emergency service for that situation.
If the door opens, closes, and locks, the job is planned work, even when it feels pressing. Rekeying after a tenant leaves, adding a keypad, or fixing a building entry system all fall here. Describing the door and the change you want by phone is a good place to start.
Business hours are Monday to Friday 9:00AM to 8:00PM and Saturday and Sunday 9:00AM to 7:00PM, Eastern time. Emergency service runs 24/7 alongside those hours.
What to have ready before you call
A few details make the first call short:
- The full address, plus the unit, floor, or entrance
- The door and lock type, such as an apartment deadbolt, a storefront, or a building entrance
- What happened, or what you want done, in a sentence or two
- Whether it is a private home, a managed building, or a business
- Whether you can approve work at the property, and if not, who can
With those in hand, call Long Island City Locksmith at (917) 500-5130.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to come to Long Island City to get service?
No. Long Island City Locksmith is a mobile locksmith, so Bronx jobs happen at your door. The business is based at 43-37 Hunter St, Long Island City, and you can visit during business hours, Monday to Friday 9:00AM to 8:00PM and Saturday and Sunday 9:00AM to 7:00PM. A visit is optional.
Can a property manager in the Bronx arrange work for more than one door?
A property manager in the Bronx can describe several doors in one call. List each door by location and say what it needs. For example, one unit door might need a rekey, an entry door that drags might need a repair, and the intercom panel might need a change.
Is rekeying different from changing the lock, and how do I choose?
Rekeying keeps the existing lock and resets the small pins inside the cylinder, the part your key slides into, so old keys stop working. Changing the lock replaces the whole unit. Rekey when the lock works well and only the old keys are the problem. Change it when the lock is worn or damaged, or when you want a high-security lock or keypad.
Can an existing door be fitted with a smart lock or keypad?
Many existing doors can take a smart lock or keypad. Whether a particular door fits depends on its thickness, the holes already cut for the current lock, and how cleanly the latch lines up with the frame. If the door needs a shove before it locks, that alignment problem is worth fixing first.
