There are approximately 8 million people living in New York City.  If you’re one of them, at one point or another you may need the services of a locksmith in NYC.  It may be because you arrive at your front door, reach into the place where you usually keep your keys, and find that they’re not there.  You will frantically search through everything, before accepting that you lost your keys.  Or you will break your key in a lock, need to cut new keys, or need to change a lock altogether.  No matter what the reason, you will likely need the help of a locksmith located in NYC.  But not all locksmiths are created equal. Then, how can you be sure you’ve found a good one?

Here are some common signs of a bad locksmith in NYC:

• When you give them keys to cut, they provide you with sloppily made keys that don’t fit your lock properly, and that you have to fidget with to open your door.
• The locksmith lets you into a NYC property without asking for proof that it is your residence.
• The locks are badly installed and have to be fixed or re-installed.
• The price you are billed turns out to be significantly higher than the price you were quoted for the job.

Now, here are some signs of a good locksmith in NYC:

• The locksmith belongs to professional associations.
• Their business has been in operation for years, or has gained a good reputation since opening.
• Their workers are licensed professionals who have undergone security checks (locksmiths in NYC must undergo fingerprinting at the Dept. of Consumer Affairs).
• They have a website that is very professional, with clear contact information.
