Locksmith New York — 24/7 Licensed Service
New York City is not one locksmith market — it is five boroughs of very different doors. A pre-war walk-up in the East Village, a doorman co-op on the Upper West Side, a storefront on Broadway, and a triple-decker in Astoria all fail differently and take different hardware. Sunny Locksmith runs mobile units across New York City around the clock under NYC License #2096389-DCA. Call (917) 495-1990 and a dispatcher who works for this company answers — not a call center.
One Standard Across the Whole City
The building decides the job, so we ask what you are in before we quote. A cylinder swap on a surface-mounted jimmy-proof is a short visit; a mortise lockset on a hollow metal frame with a closer is a different job entirely and needs the right parts on the truck. Our units stock Grade 1 and Grade 2 hardware, mortise and jimmy-proof cylinders, Adams Rite storefront bodies, panic bars, closers, and the key-cutting and programming equipment for most vehicles — so most jobs finish on the first visit.
When a cheaper rekey solves the problem, we say so. When a worn mortise body is the real cause of a sticking door, we show you before we replace anything. That is the standard on every call, in every borough.
Recent Work Across New York
A sample of jobs on record this season: a commercial leverset repair in East Harlem; a full mortise lockset replacement in Mill Basin, Brooklyn; a vertical panic bar repair in Hell's Kitchen; an Adams Rite storefront repair in Morningside Heights; an electric strike installation near Times Square; and a car key replacement cut and programmed at the curb in Bushwick. Photos and dates for these and more are on our work page.
Emergency, Residential, Commercial, Automotive
Emergency lockouts jump the queue, day or night. Residential work covers deadbolts, jimmy-proofs, mortise repairs, rekeys, and smart keypads. Commercial work covers storefront Adams Rite hardware, Grade 1 leversets, master key systems, panic bars, and closers. Automotive work cuts and programs keys at the vehicle, so most cars do not need a tow to the dealer.
Why the License Number Matters in New York
New York City requires locksmiths to hold a Department of Consumer and Worker Protection license, and the city has a real problem with unlicensed operators who quote low on the phone and drill locks that never needed drilling. Our number — NYC License #2096389-DCA — is printed on every page of this site and on every invoice. You can look it up before you let anyone touch your door, and you should, whoever you hire.
