Emergency Lockout Service: The Basics

We keep it straightforward. Home & Business Lockout Service covers getting you back into a locked house, apartment or office quickly, without damage to the door, the frame or the lock. You get an upfront quote, a technician at your door, and a job tested in front of you.

Many of our calls come from Garden City and Old Westbury and the area around UBS Arena and JFK Airport.

Who We Are

Car Key Locksmith is a local business, not a national call center. Since 2001 we have answered our own phones, quoted our own jobs and sent our own technicians.

Know Before We Arrive

• Landlords: rekey between tenants, every time.
• Don't spray household oil into a sticking lock; use dry graphite instead.
• Tell us which doors and how many locks — it speeds up the quote.
• Mention any doors that stick or don't latch — we can often fix them on the same visit.

From Home Lockouts to Eviction Lock Changes

Besides home & business lockout service, our Nassau County technicians handle:

• Licensed locksmith in New York State, fully insured
• Rekeying for landlords and property managers between tenants
• 24 hour lockout service, nights, weekends and holidays included
• Eviction lock changes for landlords, once a NY State sheriff or marshal has carried out the eviction
• Mobile locksmith service — the workshop comes to your door
• Lock changes after a break-in, with the door frame and strike checked
• Key duplication, including high-security and restricted keys

Doors and Locks We Handle

Standard or high-security, residential or commercial: keypad locks, padlocks, mortise locks, knob locks, deadbolts and sliding door locks, from makers such as Yale, Baldwin, Best, Schlage and Corbin Russwin.

Included With Every Visit

Typical work on these calls includes:

• Residential and commercial hardware, from standard to high-security
• Office and storefront lockouts for owners and authorized managers
• House, apartment and condo lockouts at the front, back, side and patio doors
• Broken keys removed from the lock and a working key cut while we are there
• Locks rekeyed on the spot if your keys were lost or stolen rather than locked inside
• Landlord and tenant turnovers handled quickly

Our Process

Here is what happens, start to finish:

1. Call (516) 750-0433 and tell us the address and which door you are locked out of.
2. We give you a price and an arrival time before anyone is dispatched.
3. The technician confirms you live at or manage the property, then opens the door without damage.
4. If the keys are gone for good, we can rekey or change the lock before we leave.
5. You only pay once everything works at your door.

Understanding the Cost

What we consider when we quote:

• The type of lock and how secure it is (standard knob, deadbolt, high-security cylinder)
• Whether you also want the lock rekeyed or changed
• The time of day — late-night, weekend and holiday calls can cost more
• How far the property is from our nearest technician

Ask for a quote any time at (516) 750-0433, day or night.
