Residential Locksmith

From a 1940s Cape in Lindenhurst to a new build in Dix Hills or a co-op in Cedarhurst, we secure homes across Suffolk County, Nassau County and Queens. Every technician is licensed, insured and arrives in a marked van with hardware in stock.

Home services

What we do for homeowners

House lockouts

Non-destructive entry on standard and high-security cylinders. Most homes are open in minutes without drilling, and we carry replacement cylinders when a lock has failed internally.

Lock rekeying

Just moved in, lost a key, or a contractor never returned theirs? Rekeying changes the pins inside the lock so old keys stop working — cheaper than new hardware and done in one visit for the whole house.

Deadbolt installation

Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts, reinforced strike plates, and door-frame repair. On older Long Island homes with settled frames we plane and realign the door so the bolt throws fully.

High-security locks

Medeco, Mul-T-Lock and Abloy cylinders with patented keys that cannot be copied at a hardware store — the right call for rentals, two-family homes, and anyone who has had a break-in.

Smart locks

Supply and install keypad and Wi-Fi locks, set up user codes for family and cleaners, and keep a mechanical key override so a dead battery never locks you out.

Eviction & tenant turnover

Fast, documented lock changes for landlords and property managers, plus keyed-alike sets so one key opens every unit door you control.

Mailbox & garage locks

Cluster mailbox locks, garage side-door cylinders, shed padlocks and gate hardware.

Patio & sliding doors

Sliding door locks, auxiliary foot bolts and window locks that actually resist a pry bar.

Good to know

Straight answers before you book

Rekey or replace?

If the hardware turns smoothly and looks solid, rekeying is the cheaper fix. Replace when the lock is corroded, loose, or you want a higher security grade.

Do you damage the door?

Almost never. Drilling is a last resort on locks that are already broken, and we replace anything we have to drill.

Proof of residency

For lockouts we ask for ID or a lease/deed matching the address. It protects you as much as us.
