A-Art Locksmiths

Locked out on 2nd Avenue? We're right around the corner.

A-Art Locksmiths is a real storefront at 187 2nd Avenue, serving the East Village and Lower East Side. You get a clear quote before we touch your lock, and no surprise fees.

When you call, you reach the shop on your block. Not a dispatch center in another state.

A-Art Locksmiths is a neighborhood locksmith at 187 2nd Avenue, in the heart of the East Village.

We know the buildings here: pre-war walk-ups, older doors, worn deadbolts, and tight hallways. We work with tenants, landlords, and supers to get the job done the right way, with respect for building rules.

Our promise is simple. The price we quote over the phone and confirm at your door is the price you pay. No drill-and-surprise, no padded bills, just honest work from people who live and work nearby.

  • A real storefront

    187 2nd Avenue. You can walk in, see the bench, and meet who's coming to your door.

  • The quote is the price

    We confirm the price before any work begins. That's the number on your bill.

  • Built for apartments

    Lockouts, rekeys, and deadbolts fitted to pre-war doors and your building's rules.

What we do

Five things, done properly. If your problem isn't listed, call and describe it. We'll tell you straight whether we can help.

  • Apartment & home lockouts

    Locked out of your apartment or house? We get you back inside quickly, using non-destructive methods whenever possible.

  • Lock changes & rekeying

    New tenant, lost keys, or a breakup? We rekey or replace your locks so old keys stop working.

  • Deadbolt & door security upgrades

    Stronger deadbolts, reinforced strike plates, and security hardware that fit older pre-war doors and meet building requirements.

  • Key cutting & duplicates

    Spare keys, copies, and replacements cut accurately at our 2nd Avenue shop.

  • Emergency locksmith service

    Broken key in the lock, a jammed door, or a lock damaged after a break-in. Call us and we'll tell you what to expect before we arrive.

We're new. We won't make up reviews.

Instead, here's what every customer gets from us, in writing. After your job, we'll ask you to tell your neighbors how it went.
