We Offer Residential Door Lock Installation, Repair, and Replacement Services

We offer a comprehensive Brooklyn locksmith service for all your residential needs.

For developers, builders, real estate managers, or simply people refurbishing their homes, we can help you with your door lock installation needs. Together, we’ll decide what locks suit your budget and your security requirements for each door.

If your door is in good shape, but your lock is broken beyond repair, old, rusted, or not high security enough for your needs, we’ll perform a replacement. We don’t always need to replace the entire mechanism – if only the cylinder is causing problems, we may be able to replace that separately while keeping the rest intact. In our initial consultation, we’ll understand what exact mechanism needs replacing. Lock replacements are essential for maintaining good home security – do not neglect them!

Lastly, our lock repair services can help save you the money and the hassle of a full lock replacement. In some cases, the lock’s only fault is that a part has fallen out of alignment or become loose. These are extremely quick and simple to diagnose and fix. In cases where there is more significant damage, we can oversee repairs for even complex, high-security locks.

 

Lock Rekey Service

Have you had your keys stolen? Are you moving into a new apartment, and are worried about past tenants who may still hold the keys? 

If you want to make all the keys previously used to open your door defunct, there’s an easy way to do it. Through rekeying, we can change just the small part of the locking mechanism that dictates which key can turn it – the lock pins – without replacing the entire lock. This keeps costs down and prevents unnecessarily wasting a perfectly functioning lock, while making sure the only working keys are in your hands.

Rekeying does not take our locksmiths long to complete, and can offer you peace of mind and extra security. Because we often disassemble the lock while rekeying, we also take the opportunity to perform a general check-up of your lock internally, and offer to replace any worn parts – an added benefit of a rekey.

Types of Residential Locks and Door Hardware

We’ve  listed some of our most commonly used residential locks, including a categorization of where they’ll most likely go in the home. Remember that these are mostly suggestions – where you choose to put which lock is a matter of your personal requirements, as well as what is possible on your doors.

 

For your front door

• Deadbolts.
  These offer an extremely high standard of security, which is why they are favored by so many locksmiths. Because they have no springs, they are much more resistant to picking and battering than a traditional lock, and don’t yield to old lockpicking tricks like knives or credit cards.

 

• Night latch locks
  These don’t require a manual locking, are hard to pick, and don’t require a key to open from the inside – an advantage to those worried about leaving the house quickly in emergencies. They should not be used on doors with or near windows, as intruders can break the glass and turn the knob from inside.

 

• Jimmy proof locks
  Called so because of their resistance to ‘jimmying’, these are highly secure, hard to pick, and made of sturdy materials that cannot easily be battered. These locks are fixed on the interior part of the door, similar to a night latch lock. 

 

• Mortise locks
  These are often thought of as locks used by businesses, as they require some space to install. However, they’ve actually been used as exterior door locks of residential homes for hundreds of years. As they are intricate, secure and strong, it’s understandable that they are still a popular choice. 

 

 

For your back door

• Single cylinder locks
  These have a twisting mechanism on the inner side and key access on the other, meaning it will be easy and convenient to open your back door. Again, this is not a suitable option for anywhere near a window.

For internal doors

• Knob locks
  These look like a regular door knob, with a small keyhole (or sometimes a button) located on the sphere itself. These aren’t high security enough for an external door, but they’re discreet enough to provide privacy for internal doors without being garish.

 

• Handle locks
  These are regular lever handles, but armed with a locking mechanism – an easy and aesthetic solution for internal doors.

 

• Latch
  It’s simple, cost-efficient, and doesn’t need a key. The extremely simple latch mechanism is easy to bypass, and it isn’t particularly aesthetic. However, it’s a functional way to let a bathroom be locked only from the inside for privacy.
