Locksmiths in NYC comes dime a dozen, where ever you'll spit you'll find one and they all claim to be the best, the fastest, the cheapest and the most reliable.

In reality half of them are cons that aren't licensed in any way and the other half doesn't really open 24/7 like they advertise, and they are defiantly neither the cheapest nor the best.

On-line, in the phone book or via any other way, there are a few methods one should follow when searching for a locksmith in New York.

First make sure you're using a reliable search engine, not all Google search results will come up as honest or even local.

When on the phone try to understand how much the job is going to be and don't take "minimum" prices as guaranteed prices, also when on the phone or the web site try and understand where is the company located ( a street address would be good )     and whether or not they are licensed by the city ( DCA ) of New York, it's the law, all locksmiths in NYC has to be licensed.
