Keys can break inside a lock when the key is worn or bent, the lock cylinder is stiff, or the door is putting extra pressure on the latch or deadbolt. Using force when a key does not turn smoothly can cause the metal to snap and leave part of the key inside the lock.

Common causes include:

Did your key break off inside the lock? Don’t risk damaging the cylinder; call our locksmith for help instead.

Rekeying changes the internal configuration of an existing lock so old keys no longer work. Replacing a lock involves installing new hardware.

You don’t have to replace a lock just because it’s old. If it still works but you want to stop old keys from working, rekeying is usually the best choice. This is common after moving, losing keys, changing tenants, or when someone shouldn’t have access anymore.

We recommend replacing a lock if it’s damaged, worn out inside, hard to use, keeps sticking, or doesn’t give you enough security. Our locksmith will check your hardware first to see if rekeying or replacement is best.

For cars, key replacement and programming depend on the make, model, year, and security system. Some cars let us remove lost keys from the system, while others need a different fix.

Did you leave your keys with a contractor months ago and never get them back? We can rekey your lock without changing your hardware or damaging your door.

Many people focus on the hardware’s price, but the actual cost is the time spent at the door whenever someone joins or leaves. The type of door matters, too, since many prewar apartment locks can’t accept a standard smart deadbolt. We check the fit first, then recommend the best option based on how often you need to change access. Here’s how the three main options compare on the most important points.

Many pre-war buildings in Union Square still have their original doors and mortise locks. These locks are built differently from modern ones and often need special tools and repair methods.

Years of use, layers of paint, worn parts, and minor shifts in the building can all affect how the lock and door operate. Instead of replacing original hardware when it’s not needed, we inspect the entire door and lock to identify the cause and recommend the best repair.

Pre-war doors usually also have a different mortise lock design. Unlike modern deadbolts, the cylinder is often held in place by a screw that might be hidden under layers of paint. We carefully remove and replace only the worn cylinder when needed, so we can keep the original lock and door whenever possible.

Is your pre-war door sticking or hard to lock? Call us, and we’ll figure out the cause before recommending a repair.

Every locksmith claims to be fast and fair, but it’s hard to know for sure when you’re locked out. Here’s why our locksmith services in Union Square stand out:
