Company Background

About Alto Locksmith

Alto Locksmith & Security operates from the concourse level of 875 3rd Ave in Midtown East. The Google photos show a lit storefront with the Alto sign, a key counter and technicians in company hoodies. The website says the company grew out of the owner's frustration with locksmith bait-and-switch pricing and was formally started in 2023, and it names owner Nimrod Altit. Google shows 4.8 stars from 462 reviews, read 2026-10-29.

The pitch is price clarity. The site publishes a guide: lockouts run about $85 to $150, rekeying about $50 to $150 per lock, high-security and smart locks from $150 per lock, and car lockouts or new car keys about $75 to $200. It says the full price is confirmed on the phone before a technician leaves, that nights, weekends and holidays carry no surcharge, and that the technician picks or decodes a lock before drilling. It quotes a 30 to 45 minute response across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens and describes its team as background checked and insured.

Services include residential and commercial lock work, automotive lockouts and keys, door installation and repair, intercoms and CCTV. The site says it follows the rules of the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection and calls its locksmiths licensed, but it does not publish a licence number.

Who it suits: Midtown and East Side residents and offices that want the cost settled before anyone arrives. Who it suits less well: buyers who want a decades-long track record, since the company is about three years old, and anyone expecting a published licence number.

What to ask before booking: that the price on the phone is the price at the door, the technician's name and ID, whether entry will be non-destructive, the warranty on parts and labour, and the technician's New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection locksmith licence number, which you can verify with the city.

Alto Locksmith FAQs

  • Is Alto Locksmith & Security a licensed locksmith in NYC?

    Alto says it works under New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection rules and that its locksmiths are licensed, but it does not publish a number. Ask the technician for the licence number and check it with the city before work starts.

  • How much does Alto Locksmith charge for a lockout in NYC?

    Alto's website gives a guide of about $85 to $150 for a lockout and about $50 to $150 per lock for rekeying, with no extra charge for nights, weekends or holidays. It says the full price is confirmed on the phone before a technician leaves.

  • Will Alto Locksmith damage my lock during a lockout?

    The company says it picks or decodes the lock first and treats drilling as a last step, so most doors open without damage. If a lock must be drilled, ask for the replacement price before the technician starts.

  • Is Alto Locksmith licensed and insured?

    We checked 0 of 1 credentials against the issuing authority. Verified items carry the date we checked; reported items are what the business told us and we could not independently confirm.

  • What areas does Alto Locksmith serve?

    New York. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.

  • Does Alto Locksmith offer emergency service?

    Yes, the company lists emergency availability. Response time depends on demand, and after a storm every company in the market is stretched.

  • What warranty do they offer?

    Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.

  • How was this profile built?

    Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.

  • Can a business pay to improve its profile?

    A business can subscribe to manage its own listing details, and it can buy a labelled sponsored placement. Neither changes a ranking position or the editorial assessment on this page.
