New York City licenses locksmiths — anyone who opens, repairs or installs locks for hire needs a locksmith licence from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. That matters at 2am on a doorstep: an unlicensed 'locksmith' quoting $39 on the phone is the oldest bait-and-switch in the city, and a licence number is the fastest way to avoid it.

What it costs in New York
Honest locksmith pricing has two parts: a service call to come to you, and the work itself. A quote that is only a service call price, with the work priced on arrival, is how the low-ball scams begin.
A residential lockout on an ordinary lock runs $80 to $220 during standard hours and $130 to $300 after hours; a high-security lock is $150 to $400, or $200 to $500 after hours. Rekeying costs $25 to $50 per cylinder plus a $40 to $80 service call. Changing a standard lock is $80 to $180 per cylinder installed, while high-security installations run $250 to $600. Car lockouts are $75 to $180 in standard hours. Work outside roughly 8am–8pm on weekdays typically carries a 25–50% surcharge — agreed on the phone, not discovered afterwards.
Rules and permits in New York
Locksmiths working for hire in New York City must hold a DCWP locksmith licence. Ask for the licence number when you call and again when they arrive; a licensed locksmith will give it without hesitation. The businesses on this page are on the city's public register with their licence numbers shown.
Get the total price on the phone before anyone is dispatched — the service call plus the expected work, and the after-hours surcharge if it applies. Written or texted confirmation of that number is normal and reasonable to ask for.
Be careful with search results and phone listings that show a local address which turns out to be a call centre routing to whoever is nearest. The tell is a refusal to give a licence number, a price that is 'from $19' or 'from $39', and an unmarked vehicle.
Questions people in New York ask
How do I avoid the lockout scam?
Ask for a licence number and a total price before dispatch, and refuse anyone who will not give both. Scam operators quote a tiny call-out fee, then demand hundreds on your doorstep and often drill a lock that did not need drilling.
Will a locksmith open my door without proof it's mine?
No — a licensed locksmith will ask for ID and something linking you to the address, and that is a sign you called the right one.
Do they have to drill the lock?
Rarely. Most residential locks can be picked or bypassed. Drilling is a last resort and means buying a new lock, so ask before they start.
Rekey or replace?
If the lock is sound and you have simply lost keys or changed tenants, rekeying is cheaper and just as secure. Replace when the hardware is old, damaged or too weak for the door.
