Built for NYC apartment doors
NYC apartment doors are their own world: heavy steel doors, mortise locks, multiple deadbolts and building-wide keying. We work on them every day.
Moving into a new place? Rekeying or changing the cylinder means you know exactly who has a key. Check your lease and building rules first, and remember that in NYC your landlord may be entitled to a copy of the key.

Can I change the lock on my apartment?
NYC rules allow tenants to add or change locks in many situations, but you may have to give the landlord a copy of the key. Check your lease and HPD guidance, and we'll handle the work.
How fast can you change my locks?
We offer same-day service when we can. Many cylinder swaps take under an hour.
Can you match my new lock to the building key?
If the building uses a master key system, coordinate with management. We work with supers and owners regularly.
