Residential Locksmith Services in New Rochelle
Your home should be your safest place. Whether you have just moved into a co-op in Residence Park, inherited a house near Huguenot Park, or manage rental properties along Pelham Road, our residential locksmith services cover every situation:
Lock Changes and Rekeying
Moving into a new home? You have no way to know how many copies of the old keys exist. A full lock change replaces the entire lock hardware, while rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working. Rekeying is faster and more affordable when the existing hardware is in good condition.
High-Security Lock Upgrades
Standard locks can be picked or bumped in under a minute by someone with basic tools. A high-security lock upgrade uses restricted-keyway cylinders, anti-pick pins, and reinforced strike plates to dramatically increase resistance to forced entry. We install brands such as Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Abloy.
Smart Lock Installation
Keyless entry is becoming popular in New Rochelle homes, especially among landlords managing short-term rentals. Our smart lock installation service covers brands like Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, and August. We ensure proper alignment and connect the lock to your home Wi-Fi or Z-Wave hub.
Break-In Repair
If your home has been broken into, the door frame and lock hardware often need immediate repair. Our break-in repair service restores your door, replaces damaged locks, and reinforces weak points — usually within the same visit so you can sleep safely that night.
Additional Residential Services
- 24-hour emergency home lockout service
- Broken key extraction
- Closet and interior door lock installation

Commercial Locksmith Solutions for New Rochelle Businesses
New Rochelle’s business community is growing rapidly, from the mixed-use developments along Main Street to established shops in the New Rochelle Mall area. Proper commercial security protects your inventory, employees, and liability exposure.
Master Key Systems
If you manage a building with multiple tenants or departments, a master key system lets you control access with a hierarchy of keys. Each tenant gets a key that opens only their space, while you hold a master that opens everything. We design, pin, and install these systems from scratch.
Electronic Access Control
Key cards, fobs, and PIN-code keypads give you an audit trail of who entered and when. Our electronic access control installation service covers standalone systems for small offices up to networked systems for multi-floor buildings.
Panic Bars and Exit Devices
Fire code in New Rochelle requires proper exit hardware on commercial doors. Our panic bar and exit device service ensures your building meets code while remaining secure against unauthorized entry from outside.

- Emergency business lockout service
- Commercial lock installation
- Commercial lock rekeying (ideal after employee turnover)
- High-security lock installation
