Why Us
Why West Side Locksmith and Keys
A real local shop with a simple way of working.
Most locksmith searches end at a call center. We are the opposite of that: a storefront at 413 W 14th Street, technicians who live in this city, and a phone that is answered around the clock.
Local, not a call center
When you call (212) 300-6734 you reach our shop — the people who will actually do the work. We know the building stock: pre-war mortise locks, loft conversions, new towers with electronic access. That knowledge is the difference between a ten-minute fix and a drilled lock.
Straight answers before work begins
We explain what the job needs and what it costs before touching your door. If rekeying is enough, we say so. If a repair beats a replacement, we repair. The upsell is not our business model; the repeat customer is.
Truly 24/7
Nights, weekends, holidays — lockouts do not keep business hours, so neither do we. The same technicians, the same standard, at 3 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Licensed, insured, background-checked
Every technician who walks through your door is licensed, insured, and background-checked. We verify authorization before opening anything — yours and ours.
High-security and smart-lock specialists
Mul-T-Lock cylinders, Yale and Schlage smart locks, master key systems, access control — the advanced work is our daily work, not a sideline.
