At Metro Local Locksmith we specialize in the absurd.

If you think something can't be done? we've probably done it before.

A lot of locksmith companies in New York claim they provide 24 hours a day, 7 days a week locksmith services, while in realty it's not exactly the case.  Many of those so called 24hr locksmiths aren't actually open for business at every hour of the day or night, a lot of them won't answer the phone after a certain hour of the night or use a subcontractor to do their "after hours" locksmith calls.

Obviously no subcontractor will have the dedication that you have to your costumers and the will to provide excellent service and preserve the good name and reputation of your business, especially not at 2am!

When it comes to reputation, a good business name and costumer satisfaction, we shine bright in a league of our own!

Our online reviews on Yelp and Google averages 5 stars across the board, and our clients feedback is constantly reassuring that what ever we're doing is working right.

We're truly 24 hours a day, and we're ALWAYS answering our phone, no matter what time of the day or night it is.  From a simple late night apartment lockout to a lost car key at midnight in the middle of a snow storm when your'e on the wrong side of alternate side parking for the next day, and must move your car off the street, we will be there for you with in-house locksmith service to fix your emergency the right way.

Wether it's a lock replacement due to a lost set of keys or a robbery, we'll be there with a smile on our face and the right hardware and attitude to get the job done.

In most cases, actually at about 90% of the time, we will be able to supply and install your locks or keys on the same visit or the same day.   Some special safes, unique locks or some very costume metal work and doors would take longer to supply and install.

So be very careful when it comes to emergency locksmith companies in New York City, because it ain't always what it seems.

Choose right, choose Metro Local Locksmith.

Walking around with a bunch of keys all day long makes it very easy to loose your keys, or at least some of it.

It's New York, lets face it, a copy of your key is probably floating around somewhere with someone, the management company, the landlord, the construction company and god knows who else.

An easy way to eliminate some of those jiggling keys out of your life would be to install an electronic lock with a digital keypad that uses a code for access control instead of the actual key.

Only those who have the code can open the door, you don't have to leave keys under the mat anymore or chase people down to get your keys back from them.

[caption id="attachment_671" align="alignnone" width="300"] Electronic deadbolt with a digital keypad[/caption]

At Metro Local Locksmith we specialize in electronic deadbolts and digital access control, it's easier than you think, you too can have a lock with a digital keypad that eliminate the need of a key all together.

Although it doesn't take a key to unlock the door, only the access code, there's still a key as an emergency option to override the code in case you forgot it or if the battery dies.

A lot of locksmith companies in New York City would offer a verity of electronic deadbolts and digital keypads, it is important to choose the right one though, you don't want to go with a locksmith company who can't get it done the right way, the first time.

In a sea of craziness and dishonesty, Metro Locksmith is a light house of professionalism, honesty and transparency.

Our online reputation is stellar and our Yelp reviews are one of the strongest testimonies of our character and craftsmanship.

So when ever you're ready to move forward with your electronic lock installation and join us in 2017 where keys are no longer needed give us a call at Metro Local Locksmith and one of our technicians will be there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide you with a free estimate of your new digital keypad deadbolt lock.

Dear New York city young people, please read this post very carefully before calling an Emergency Locksmith in NYC.

You wouldn't believe the shit show and the amount of dishonest locksmith companies out there.

From super shady call centers out of the country to random stickers and business cards on your building's door or intercom unit, this city is filled with super random and not so honest locksmith companies.

[caption id="attachment_667" align="alignnone" width="300"] Scam Alert!
Be Vey Careful Who You Call.[/caption]

It got so bad that it's literally almost impossible to separate the good guys from the bed ones.

Luckily we've got five easy steps in order to help you separate the wheat from the chaff.

So you probably ask your self, "What do I do if I get locked out and need a 24 hours locksmith?"   Well, there are a few things you can do in order to minimize the risk:

Step number one:   Ask every single question you can think of on the phone before you give the locksmith company your address, an honest locksmith would answer all your questions over the phone and would give you solid flat fee prices for any specific service, not just *starting prices or *minimum prices, an honest locksmith would give you the company's name and address, he would give you the tech's name and the license number if necessary.

Step number two:   After you have all the information go online (if you don't have web access or a smart phone use a friend's or a neighbor's) and research some of the information you got, if the company doesn't exist on Google Maps (like we do) or on Yelp (again, like we do) that's a tale tale for bad news, if it does exist but has horrible reviews on Yelp, than again maybe you should use another company.

[caption id="attachment_647" align="alignnone" width="300"] people love us on Yelp![/caption]

Step number three:   When you get the tech on site make sure that the information is similar to what you've got on the phone and online, the company's name, phone number, website and address should be the same, the tech needs to know the company's name as well, if any of these isn't the same, something is wrong.

Step number four:   Make sure the locksmith gives you the whole shpill, you need to know everything you're about to pay for before the guy does anything, I mean the whole 9 yards, if any of the prices aren't matching what you've got on the phone you need to know that ahead of time, the price may change a bit and that's fine, maybe you have a high security lock that can't be picked, maybe it's a different key for your car because you got the year, make and model wrong, things can change and that's ok.

Step number five:   Payment and warranty, make sure what form of payment the company accepts, nowadays credit cards should be an acceptable form of payment almost anywhere any time, cash and checks may not be accepted by some companies so find out in advance, unless you want to make a late night trip to the ATM.                               Warranty should be included in the price for both parts and labor, a 90 day warranty should be standard though most honest companies (us included) would provide you with a 6-12 month warranty for both parts and labor.

After all is said and done, there is no substitute to an honest local company you already know and trust or have received service from in the past successfully, all the research in the world won't makeup for past experience.

So don't get scammed and make sure your first locksmith experience is a good one, because if it sounds too good to be true over the phone, it's usually because it is.

When you need an honest, licensed and reliable locksmith company on the Upper West Side, Manhattan or anywhere else in the greater New York area for that matter, give us a call first, you'll be glad you did.

Glass doors can be freaky.

Sometimes a glass door needs to be removed for the hardware on the door to be replaced, Door closers may be on top or on the bottom, visible or concealed in the cement under the door saddle.

Locks and other hardware may also require the removal of the door in some cases.



We love helping out our Upper West Side neighbors @ Joe & the Juice with their Columbus Ave location (247 Columbus Ave).
We had to remove and reinstall the store front glass door in order to gain access and replace the door closer that was buried under the cement floor.
Out with the old, in with the new!
The best avocado sandwich we've had in a while.



Great staff, great juice and excellent vibes!!!
