Locksmith in New York, NY
Looking for locksmith in New York? Settlyfe lets you skip the phone tag — answer a short intake about the job, see an upfront quote, and book a vetted independent pro, all online and tracked in your Settlyfe portal.
Settlyfe connects you with vetted independent locksmiths for lockouts, rekeying, lock replacement and installation, lock repair, key copying, and smart lock upgrades. The service covers houses, condos and apartments, townhouses, and commercial properties, and handles everything from a single deadbolt to a job spanning up to twenty locks or doors.
Booking starts with a short intake: you tell us what kind of lock you have, what you need done, how urgent it is, and whether the locksmith should bring new hardware. From those answers you see an upfront quote before you book — including for emergency and after-hours visits, which may cost more, with the price shown before you commit.
Once you book, the job is dispatched to a vetted independent locksmith and tracked in your customer portal. If the work turns out to be bigger than described, any change in scope needs your approval before there is any extra charge.

Locksmith FAQs
What affects the price of a locksmith visit?
The quote is based on your intake answers: the type of lock (a deadbolt, smart lock, safe, or vehicle lock are different jobs), the task you need (lockout, rekey, replacement, repair, key copy, or smart lock upgrade), how many locks or doors are involved, how urgent the visit is, and whether the locksmith supplies new hardware. You see the resulting quote before you book.
Do emergency or after-hours visits cost more?
They may. If you choose the emergency option or ask for someone within a few hours, after-hours and emergency visits can carry a higher price — but the price is always shown before you book, so there are no surprises afterward.
I'm a renter — can I have my locks changed or rekeyed?
Locksmiths can only change locks with the property owner's permission — this rule protects you. The intake asks whether you own the property, rent with the owner's permission, still need to get permission, or manage the property, so this is sorted out before anyone is dispatched.
Does the locksmith bring the new lock hardware?
That's up to you. In the intake you can ask the locksmith to supply the hardware, say you already have it, or mark that you're not sure yet and settle it with the pro. If settling it later changes the scope of the job, you approve the change before any extra charge.
Can you help with car lockouts or safes?
Yes — vehicle and car locks and safes are both bookable lock types, alongside deadbolts, doorknobs, padlocks, mailbox locks, smart locks, keypad locks, and office, furniture, and cabinet locks. If yours doesn't fit a category, choose "Other / not sure" and describe it.
How many locks can I include in one booking?
One booking covers from one up to twenty locks or doors. The count is part of the intake, so the quote reflects the full job.
What if the job turns out to be bigger than I described?
Any change in scope needs your approval before there is any extra charge. The locksmith raises it with you first, and you can follow the job in your customer portal.
