Locked Out of Your Business? We're Here to Help.
Fast, reliable, and professional commercial lockout services in New York City. We’ll get you back in business in no time.
Smart locks are the fastest-growing category in both residential and commercial lock hardware in New York City. The appeal is straightforward: no more physical keys, remote locking and unlocking from your phone, access logs showing who entered and when, and the ability to grant temporary access to guests, contractors, or delivery services without cutting a key. The challenge is that smart lock installation in NYC is not as simple as it looks in the unboxing video — NYC door frames, existing hardware, and building-specific requirements mean that professional installation is almost always the right choice.
Mr. Locks has been installing electronic and smart locks in NYC homes and businesses since before they became mainstream. We work with all major brands and handle the full installation including wiring, configuration, and app setup — so you are using your new smart lock the same day. See our [Electronic Locks] page for the full range of electronic lock types we carry.

Why Professional Smart Lock Installation Matters in NYC
- NYC door compatibility issues. Older NYC apartment doors often use non-standard frame configurations or thick doors that require modification before a standard smart lock will fit correctly. Professional installation means it fits right the first time.
- Building rules and lease requirements. Many NYC landlords and co-op boards have specific rules about lock modifications. We are familiar with typical NYC lease and building requirements and can advise before you purchase a lock.
- Correct calibration for reliable operation. Smart locks require calibration for door thickness, latch alignment, and deadbolt throw to function reliably. A poorly installed smart lock is a security liability.
- App setup and configuration included. We configure the app, set up user codes, integrate with your existing smart home platform, and walk you through everything before we leave. You are not left reading a manual.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a smart lock myself in a NYC apartment?
Technically yes. Practically, we recommend professional installation in NYC due to non- standard door frames, lease restrictions, and calibration requirements. A smart lock that fails to lock correctly is a security problem, not a minor inconvenience.
Will a smart lock work with my NYC apartment's existing deadbolt preparation?
Most standard NYC apartment doors can accommodate common smart lock models, but NYC’s older building stock sometimes presents compatibility challenges. We recommend calling us before you purchase a lock — we can advise on compatibility for your specific door.
