Great customer service. They had keys that Home Depot didn't have. Fast, open 24 hours. Doesn't get much better than this!

I came to SOS locksmith to copy my keys and was thoroughly impressed by the operation at SOS locksmith. Guy (the owner / operator of the store) really runs a full fledged security business and can give you excellent advice on security and keeping things safe. As a previous reviewer said - this is a completely honest locksmith. They charge very fairly and service is great. I highly recommend SOS locksmith for all of your security needs. read more

SOS is right. I called this company late one night after I admittedly lost my keys. They promptly responded but unfortunately the locksmith who showed up proceeded to take my lock out completely and wedged his backpack in my door. Told me it would cost me $695 unless if I "did him a favor". At this point I was just scared so I told him to take $200 in cash and leave. EVENTUALLY he left after I told him I would not do him any sexual favors in return. I am left with no lock in my door. Luckily I have a bolt so I am ok for the night. I am not blaming the company but this man needs to be fired for the safety for other young women. read more

These folks are great. So well staffed and solved my problem immediately. And yes, everyone had a mask. Also, it was about a third of the price I had expected to pay to saw my bicycle lock. Visit these folks. read more

Went out for a run on the Westside Hwy only to find out I lost my keys somewhere between 45th and 4th Street, SMH. So now it past 12am and SOS came to the rescue. read more

Sunny was so helpful and speedy and did a great job uninstalling my locks and re-installing them in my new apartment. He was professional and super friendly. Thanks SOS and thank you Sunny :) read more

Walked in and walked out with several copies of keys, he was fast and friendly!! What more could you want? They fit the doors perfectly!

THEY MAKE KEYS!!!! quick easy hardware store, carries just about everything! Super helpful staff

Showed up and installed a new lock on my door within 30 minutes of a late night call. Very nice and professional. It was expensive, though I'm not sure how their prices compare to other locksmiths. read more

This place is the perfect example of a well run customer focused local small business. The people who work here really care and want to help you solve your lock and key issues. They went above and beyond - including refusing to accept payment - until we got it all working. I can't say enough good things about SOS - so much better than a big box chain. Go and patronize SOS, they've earned it. read more

Literally these guys are my heroes!! I desperately needed a key made for me at 6 pm on a Friday. I ran up to the two owners as they were literally locking down the store for the weekend and they reopened the store to quickly make my key even despite that it was a Friday night. Couldn't thank them enough - they were both so nice, quick and helpful. Not to mention it was so reasonable! Would 100% return for future stuff :) read more

Junior keys were $10 each (plus tax). Took about two minutes total. Great service. Open til 6 on weekdays and 9-5 on Saturdays.

SOS Locksmith is the best!! They're a company absolutely dedicated and committed to customer service. I've had multiple events where I've forgotten or locked my keys, and they're my #1 go to to help me out in a jam. All the guys are courteous and helpful. I recommend SOS all the time! read more

This business is the best. As the president of the board of a condo, I have come to rely on SOS for project after project, always with great results. They did the most beautiful doors for our building. They've installed surveillance cameras. They did our access control key fob system. They did our video intercom. We trust them. They are reliable, efficient, professional, and economical. Literally, you couldn't ask for anything better. read more

My family manages many buildings in Manhattan and Brooklyn / we used to use a few different locksmith/ security companies to handle our locks , doors and security camera and intercom systems repairs and installations , we found SOS Locksmith about two years ago and since then we haven't used or called anyone else , they always make great suggestions, listen to our needs , and there work is top notch. They've installed apartment doors for us , camera systems , intercoms : prices are fair and all the employees are professional and very nice : if you need any advise or want the best suggestions and service ask for Guy , he truly knows his stuff , we wouldn't go anywhere else and would recommend SOS to anyone that's needs a great locksmith and security company. Thanks SOS !!! read more

SOS Locksmith - New door they installed in our office off our elevator... we love it !! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - New York, New York

Don't waste your time anywhere else. These guys are the best. See I didn't know any better - thought all locksmiths were the same. I mean it should be a simple deal right? WRONG. I came 2 minutes before closing desperately needing copies of an elevator key. Will and Will (the A team) immediately identified my key type, had it in stock and got 4 copies made in less than 3 minutes. I was out of there before 6:03pm. Amazing. Especially since the place I was at before told me I needed to pre-order and will take 2 days. Yep. On a side note, do not waste your time at Mr.Locks at 400 2nd ave. read more

I'd give negative stars if possible... staying at a friend's apartment and the lock apparently froze so the key broke off. It was 25° and 2:30 a.m. I stated exactly what the issue was, and they said it would be $125 to open the door and $45 for the service call. They sent a young, inexperienced hack and as soon as he showed up, he said it would be an additional $200 for a new lock and keys as they have to drill the lock out to open the door (obviously a detail they intentionally left off when we spoke). We haggled, I finally agreed upon $195 for everything, to which the woman then said "plus $45 service fee." I agreed, though feeling like they were totally taking advantage of a crappy situation. He also tried to convince us the top lock needed to be drilled out because it must be locked also. Long story short, 3 hours later he STILL did not have the door open, had totally bent the door and accidentally drilled the threads to the lock cylinder, making it impossible to get a new one in. I said we were calling someone else. He disappeared for about 10 minutes and we thought he'd left, but then he came back with another guy. This guy said he could get it open immediately (but couldn't). Then, the new guy I called showed up and I told them that. They high tailed it out of there, passing the new guy in the stairwell and exchanging words in Hebrew. The new guy literally opened the door in 30 seconds, and had a new lock replaced in 15 minutes. I'd say the new guy was our hero except... Here's the weird thing... When guy #1 was having trouble, he called a few people for help. One of which, my husband noticed the name on the phone was Rami. When I spoke to guy #2 on the phone, he said he didn't work for anyone else, he was a privately owned company. The new guy's name turned out to be Rami. The company sticker the new guy pulled out of his pocket to put on the invoice had an entirely different company name than the one I called. We ended up paying $150 more than the original quote, but it was after 6 a.m. At that point... moral of the story is, the whole thing is a racket. If in this situation again, I'd prob call MonKeys as he doesn't seem to be part of the same crew. Who knows... read more

I've been going to this family run business for more than a decade and have always had courteous, speedy, and professional service. Today, I worked with Wilson who went above and beyond in educating me on options based on my needs, and helped me narrow down the choices to land on a great solution to secure my stuff. Thanks guys and keep up the great work! read more

Been a long time customer of SOS and have always had a good experience with them. Their locksmiths are all friendly and knowledgeable. They were a big help today buying two Medeco cylinders and getting them keyed together for my parents apartment. I come out of my way from Queens just to go to SOS for their expert service. read more

Absolutely reliable and super fast service!!! Couldn't be happier! Needed the locks changed in my apartment as soon as possible, and SOS Locksmith live by their name! Had locks changed and new keys, in hand, within a few hours. Brilliant! read more

We were so lucky to have found Guy with SOS Locksmith in an emergency. He was helpful, professional and honest. Context: We rented a vacation rental through Airbnb. Our host went on an extended vacation to the Himalayas, so we couldn't get a hold of him in a timely manner. As I was making calls to friends and hotels in Williamsburg, my friend knocked on one of the units in the building to ask for the Superintendent's contact info. He found Guy instead, who was SO helpful in a stressful situation. Thank you, Guy. You saved our first visit to NYC from being a disaster. :-) read more

These guys are so nice and always do a great job. They follow up, quote accurately and inexpensively, and are all around nice guys. I wish there were more locksmiths like this by my apartment! read more

I've been going to SOS Locksmith for almost 15 years now and they're always quick, professional, and courteous. Besides using them as the locksmith for my building, they also just recently had to drill a lock to enter an apartment and replace the lock and it was done so quickly and without a mess. They definitely should be your go-to locksmith for any of your locksmithing or security needs. read more

I needed someone in a crunch to replace my office locks. They not only have excellent pricing, but the staff is beyond professional. They were prompt, friendly and efficient! I definitely recommend them!!! read more

The service is good, the price is extortionate. Showed up fairly quickly (40 min), explained what he will do, got us on the door and fixed the old lock we already had. Spent about 45 min working. Charged $650. Unfortunately it's just the type of business - they charge what they can get away with. read more

Arguably the best price for making medical and multi lock keys. Also very nice people.

This review is for 2 services: locksmith and key making. Locksmith: Lost the only full set of keys to my apartment somehow (I know, I should have had another set with someone or at work, but never got around to it; and my super only had 1 key, not both, due to my negligence). I had two locks on my door: one plain, one deadbolt. After turning my purse practically inside out and going back to work to double check they didn't fall out at my desk, it was getting late and I had to call a locksmith. This locksmith was closest to my apartment. He arrived pretty quickly ($45 nighttime service call - reasonable, I think). All in all, the service took less than 20 minutes. My only gripe is how expensive this all came out to be, but maybe that's just how it is?? He took only a few minutes to drill out the two cylinders (top deadbolt $75, bottom $85). Then to replace the top cylinder was another $85. $85?!? Stop right there: I chose not to replace the bottom lock with him because I know that a cylinder costs no more than about $20, so I wasn't trying to come out my pocket any more than what I had to. This all came out to $315.81 with taxes, and that still didn't include replacing all the locks!! He was willing to cut some sort of deal on replacing the 2nd lock, but my super replaced it for free the next day when I purchased the cylinder, and I'm sure whatever deal he was going to give me wasn't going to total out to $20 for replacement. If this is a decent price, then people, let me know, and I will amend my review. Key making: A+ The next day, I decided to make a few sets of copies of my keys so I didn't have to go through this again. The guy was so quick and nice enough to create full keychains of each set instead of just giving me a bunch of keys to figure out (although, I don't know if all locksmiths do that, since I obviously don't make many copies of my keys). I was in and out in less than 10 minutes Epilogue: I found my original "lost" set of keys a few days later read more

Will took care of the most rare set of multilock keys, that no one else was able to make a copy of!!! Great place!! Thanks read more

Let's face it, the city is feeling safer but you still want piece of mind that you have the best hardware between your loved ones and the unknown world. S.O.S. put my fears at rest. These guys have top notch integrity and they certainly know their stuff. I was impressed by the fact that they provided a great solution for my security needs and I never felt like I was getting ripped off or oversold. Guy and his crew are prompt, courteous, personable and above all trustworthy. I felt throughout the whole process S.O.S. had my satisfaction as their No. 1 concern. I would recommend S.O.S Locksmith without hesitation. read more

Finish their jobs within two hours, their price is very reasonable and they did a wonderful job installing my safes.Friendly, Professional and reliable locksmith.. Highly recommend! read more

I ended up at SOS coincidentally, as they were one of the few authorized Schlage locksmiths and I had a somewhat obscure (as i learned before going to SOS when no one else could help me) request requiring a replacement to only the inside of my Schlage lock set and medeco deadbolt. Guy (the owner) was incredibly helpful in making sure he got exactly what I needed, and problem solving to figure out the best way to do what I wanted. While often people just say no and give up, Guy was willing to take the time to explain the options we had and figure out an elegant solution. Thanks! I will be back! read more

owner reached out to me to rectify a situation I had prior. I am very pleased and happy with the professionalism from the owner. He took matters in his own hands to make sure the customer (me) is happy. Owner takes a lot of pride in his business as you can see they have many positive reviews. read more

Initially had my keys copied at the nearby Home Depot but they messed up twice and took forever, and it was hard opening my doors with those copies. Went to SOS and they finished in 3 minutes and the copies worked just as good as the originals. read more

I needed a locksmith quick, and SOS came to the rescue. They were quick to respond and repair and even better, their price was very reasonable. I had called another place before I called SOS that could not help me for 3 or 4 hours AND their fee was A LOT higher than SOS. I would definitely use SOS again. read more
