Quick Access Solutions That Get You Back Inside Without Damage
Home lock issues rarely happen at the right time. A door that suddenly will not turn, or the moment you realize you have no idea who else still has working copies. What starts as a small issue turns urgent to the second you are locked out or trying to secure your home. Not just that, moving into a new apartment makes it worse. The landlord hands over two keys and calls it done, but there is no record of previous tenants, roommates, or maintenance workers who may still have access.
All of these issues get sorted with one call to Artie’s Locksmith NYC. Our home locksmith in NYC team comes directly to your location. On arrival, we inspect the lock, extract broken keys if needed, and complete a same visit rekey, so every old copy stops working immediately. If the lock is worn or not secure enough for your building, we will explain the right replacement options before changing anything.
Every entry point is checked, the concern is resolved, and your home is secured before we leave.

Lock Installation
Builder-grade locks are often installed for cost, not security. We assess the full door setup and select hardware that matches the frame, thickness, and usage needs. Installation is completed with proper alignment and reinforcement.
- Hardware matched to door specs
- Frame and strike reinforced
- Deadbolt alignment tested
- Grade 1 & 2 options available
Lock Replacement
Daily use wears down internal lock components even when damage is not visible. We remove old hardware and install a properly fitted system, followed by full testing to ensure smooth operation.
- Old lock removed cleanly
- Internal mechanism inspected
- New keys tested on-site
- Security upgrade available
Smart Lock Installation
A physical key can be copied at any hardware store in under two minutes with no record of it happening. Smart locks remove that vulnerability entirely, replacing the key with a code, a card, or your phone. Full installation and app configuration are included, with everything tested and working before the technician leaves.
- Keyless Entry Installation
- Remote Access Setup
- Guest and Caregiver Codes
- Apple Home and Google Home Compatible
Safe Installation
Most people buy a good safe and assume the job is done. What actually matters is where it goes and how it is secured to your home. A safe sitting on the floor can be picked up and walked out during a break-in. Artie’s Locksmith installs floor safes, wall safes, and freestanding units anchored directly into the structure of your home, positioned so the right people can reach it easily and the wrong ones cannot find it at all.

Case Study 3: Smart Lock Installed After Landlord Refused Physical Change

FAQ'S
How much does a residential locksmith cost in NYC?
Home lockouts typically run between $100 and $250, and new lock installations between $150 and $300. Emergency or after-hours callouts may cost more. Artie’s Locksmith confirms the price on the call before anyone is dispatched.
Is it cheaper to rekey or replace my locks?
Rekeying costs between $50 and $150 per lock. Full replacement runs $150 to $500 depending on the hardware. If the lock itself is in good condition and the concern is key control, rekeying handles it for a fraction of the cost. A tenant who called us after a roommate moved out saved over $300 by rekeying rather than replacing all three locks.
How long does a locksmith take to arrive in NYC?
Artie’s Locksmith dispatches the nearest licensed technician and gives you a confirmed arrival time on the call. Most residential locksmith in NYC jobs across the five boroughs are reached within 20 to 45 minutes, depending on location and time of day.
Will my landlord change my locks if I ask?
NYC landlords are not always required to rekey between tenancies. If yours decline, you can hire a licensed house locksmith in New York to rekey the existing locks at your own cost. Lock replacement may need landlord approval depending on your lease, so rekeying is usually the cleaner solution.
How do I know if a locksmith is legitimate?
Around 70% of locksmith scam victims in NYC found the operator through a Google Ad. Look for a verifiable physical address, a local phone number, and a written price before any work begins. Artie’s Locksmith has operated from the same address on W 139th St since 1971.
