Our Take on Metropolitan Locksmith

Metropolitan is the classic Village key shop: a 1983 storefront, a counter and shelves of hardware. The website is dated and shows no licence number, so ask for it on the phone.

Company Background

About Metropolitan Locksmith

Metropolitan Locksmith is a corner shop at 165 7th Ave S, where Seventh Avenue South meets Perry Street in the West Village. The company's website says it is family owned and was established in 1983, and the Google photos show the old blue and gold Metropolitan Locksmith sign over a classic storefront, a shop interior packed with hardware, and a smiling clerk at the counter. Google shows 4.9 stars from 638 reviews, read 2026-10-29.

This is a shop for people who want a counter and a person. The website says it makes keys while you wait, keeps a large inventory of security products and offers 24 hour locksmith service across New York City. Its service pages cover residential and commercial locks, Medeco high-security cylinders, safes, decorative hardware, doors, gates, access control, video and audio intercom systems including Siedle, and CCTV. It also lists management companies as a customer group and offers a discount coupon request.

The company states that it is licensed, insured and bonded for your protection, but the pages we read do not show a licence number, an ALOA membership or warranty terms. The site is old: the newest blog entry is from 2015 and the page design shows its age, so treat the services list as a guide and confirm by phone.

Who it suits: West Village residents and businesses that want a long-running neighbourhood shop for keys, cylinders and Medeco work. Who it suits less well: anyone who wants online booking, a published price guide or recent site content.

What to ask before booking: the service call fee and total price, whether entry will be non-destructive, the technician's name and ID, the warranty on parts and labour, and the technician's New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection locksmith licence number.

    Yes. The website says the Greenwich Village shop at 165 7th Ave S makes keys while you wait, and Google lists it as open 24 hours. Call (212) 989-0222 to confirm counter hours for key cutting before you make the trip.

    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.

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

    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.
