Getting locked outside of your own home can be extremely aggravating, especially if you do not have a spare key. If you have found yourself in a similar situation, than you must be looking for a way to get in the house as soon as possible. That is exactly the time an emergency residential locksmith services provider like Cobra Locksmith becomes useful. We work around the clock to keep you away from hassle during emergency situations.
Residential Locksmith Services in NYC
From apartment lockouts at 2 AM to full security upgrades on a Brooklyn brownstone, Cobra Locksmiths handles every residential lock and key need across New York City. Our licensed technicians carry a full stock of locks and hardware in their vehicles — most jobs are completed in a single visit.
Home & Apartment Lockout
Locked out of your house or apartment? We’ll have you back inside in under 30 minutes using non-destructive entry techniques. Available 24/7 including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Lock Rekeying
Just moved in? Changed relationships? Rekeying reconfigures the lock cylinder so old keys no longer work — without replacing the entire lock. Faster and cheaper than a full lock change.
Lock Replacement & Installation
We install and replace all lock types: deadbolts, mortise locks, jimmy-proof locks, rim locks, and high-security cylinders. We carry Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Schlage, Kwikset, and more.
High-Security Lock Upgrades
Upgrade to a pick-resistant, bump-proof deadbolt. Medeco and Mul-T-Lock cylinders provide key control — copies require authorization, so you always know who has access.
Smart Lock Installation
Install a keypad or app-controlled smart lock — Schlage Encode, August, or Yale. No more keys to carry or lose. Grant and revoke access remotely for housekeepers, family, or guests.
Key Duplication & Spare Keys
We cut standard and restricted keys on-site. High-security key copies (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock) require proof of ownership and are completed at our facility with manufacturer authorization.
Lock Repair
Stiff, loose, or misaligned lock? Broken key stuck in the cylinder? We repair all residential lock brands on-site rather than replacing — saving you money when the lock itself is salvageable.
Mailbox & Storage Lock Service
Locked out of your building mailbox or storage unit? We open, rekey, and replace mailbox locks, padlocks, and storage unit locks throughout NYC buildings.
Intercom & Door Buzzer Locks
NYC buildings often use electric strike and magnetic lock systems on entry doors. We install, repair, and replace electric door strikes, intercoms, and access control hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

▸How much does it cost to rekey a lock in NYC?
Rekeying a lock in NYC typically costs $25–$50 per lock. It’s the most cost-effective way to secure your home — the lock hardware stays the same but new keys are cut, making all old keys useless.
▸Should I rekey or replace my locks when moving into a new apartment?
At minimum, rekey all locks immediately — you have no way of knowing how many copies of the previous keys exist. If the locks are old, worn, or low-quality, a full replacement is worth the investment for better security.
▸How long does a residential lockout service take?
Our locksmiths typically arrive within 20–30 minutes anywhere in NYC. Most lockouts are resolved in under 15 minutes. We open doors non-destructively whenever possible, preserving your lock and door frame.
▸Can a locksmith open my door without damaging the lock?
In most cases, yes. Our locksmiths use professional picking and bypass tools designed to open locks without damage. Destructive entry is only used as a last resort when the lock is severely damaged or a high-security lock prevents picking.
▸What’s the best lock for an NYC apartment door?
For NYC apartments, we recommend a Grade 1 deadbolt (ANSI rated) from brands like Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, or ASSA Abloy. Many NYC buildings also require a jimmy-proof deadbolt on the door. We can assess your door and recommend the right lock for your situation.
▸Do you work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
Yes. Cobra Locksmiths provides 24/7 emergency service across all NYC boroughs including Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and Long Island. We have multiple phone lines — (347) 797-1671 for Brooklyn/Queens, (718) 395-5699 for the Bronx, and (212) 466-0884 for Manhattan.
▸Are your locksmiths licensed in New York?
Yes. All Cobra Locksmiths technicians are licensed, bonded, and insured in New York. We comply with all NYC Department of Consumer Affairs licensing requirements for locksmiths.
▸Can you install smart locks in my apartment?
Yes. We install and set up all major smart lock brands including Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, August, and Kwikset Halo. We ensure the lock is compatible with your door and set up the app connection before we leave.
Go ahead and give us a call now at 347-797-1671 to experience the best residential locksmith service in town. We will be there within minutes to save you both time and money.
