Locksmith for the Upper East Side
Pre-war doors, co-op rules and townhouse entries. We repair and upgrade the hardware Upper East Side buildings actually have, from Lenox Hill to Yorkville.
- Mortise lock repair and replacement
- Medeco and Mul-T-Lock cylinder upgrades
- Townhouse and brownstone intercoms
Built for pre-war doors
A lot of Upper East Side apartments still have their original heavy doors and mortise locks. Those locks are built to last, and many problems can be fixed with a repair or a new cylinder instead of replacing the whole lock and recutting the door.
We also work with co-op boards, managing agents and supers, where keying has to follow building rules, and with townhouse owners who want a modern video intercom without tearing up an original entry.
Our shop is in Astoria, just across the Queensboro Bridge, so the East 60s and 70s are a quick trip for us.
