Locksmith in Hell's Kitchen: questions answered

How much does a locksmith cost in NYC?

One Manhattan company's published list gives a $65 to $195 service call, $145 to $485 for a lockout, rekeying from $145 and a deadbolt change from $195, with surcharges at night and on weekends. A Brooklyn list runs lower, with a standard lock change at $99. The city sets no prices, so get the total quoted before the locksmith arrives.

How do I know if a locksmith is licensed in New York City?

Ask for the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection license number and search it on DCWP's Search Business tool or through 311. By law a locksmith must show the license before opening a lock away from the shop and must confirm you are entitled to the apartment. A locksmith who will not show a license should not start the job.

Can I change the locks on my NYC apartment?

Yes, but the law requires you to give your landlord a copy of the new key. Rekeying the existing lock after you move in is cheaper than replacing it and ends access for anyone who still has an old key.
