It is reviewed by an editor before publishing and refreshed whenever the underlying data changes. Nothing here is asserted that is not stated elsewhere on this page.

Editorial Standards

Village Lock And Key operates from a small shopfront at 453A 6th Ave in Greenwich Village, and its website says it has served New York since 2018. Google shows a 5.0 rating from 227 reviews, read 2026-10-29, and the listing is open 24 hours. The company advertises licensed locksmiths on call around the clock, with mobile arrival in 15 to 30 minutes across all five boroughs, and says its team is DCWP certified. Services include lockouts, rekeys, lock changes, key copying, smart locks, access control, cameras and window gates, according to the sign visible in its Google photos. It is the youngest shop on this list with a counter, so its record is shorter than the 1980s names.

Company Background

About Village Lock And Key

Village Lock And Key is a compact locksmith shop at 453A 6th Ave in Greenwich Village. The company's website says it has served New York City since 2018, and it describes a team of licensed locksmiths who work as mobile technicians across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, with a stated arrival window of 15 to 30 minutes. Google shows a 5.0 rating from 227 reviews, read 2026-10-29.

The shopfront photo on Google shows a yellow sidewalk sign listing 24/7 emergency lockout, key copy, lock change, smart locks, window gates, doors, access control, cameras and commercial locks, with a locksmith working at a bench inside. The website adds residential locksmith work for apartments and houses, commercial work for storefronts with gates and high-security hardware, and non-destructive entry on lockouts followed by a repair, rekey or upgrade. It also says the company has done work for well known New York businesses and displays their logos.

The site states that its locksmiths are licensed and DCWP certified. It does not publish a licence number, so check that number yourself with the city before work starts.

Who it suits: Village and West Village residents and small businesses that want a neighbourhood shop for keys and lockouts, and anyone who values a quick arrival promise. Who it suits less well: buyers who want decades of history, or large commercial jobs that call for a firm with a long client record.

What to ask before booking: the service call fee and total price in writing or by text, whether the technician will carry ID and arrive in a marked vehicle, 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.
