New keys, same locks — rekeying makes old keys useless in minutes. With Lower East Side's steady tenant turnover, rekeying between residents is the single most-booked service we perform in this neighborhood.
Between Tenement Museum and Delancey St and Orchard St, Lower East Side packs a lot of doors into a few blocks. Pre-war tenements and walk-ups with original mortise locks sit beside new developments with modern hardware — we service both daily.
