What It Costs in Chinatown: Lockouts, Rekeying, and Lock Changes

Most apartment lockout response or business lockout response jobs run $75-$150 for labor if it’s a standard lock. Add hardware and you’re looking at $120-$250 for full lock changing service or $180-$350 if you want deadbolt change with better-grade hardware. A rekeying service runs $35-$65 per lock because we’re just swapping pins, not the whole cylinder. For keypad lock installation or mailbox lock service, expect $100-$200 labor plus the lock itself. Car door lockout starts around $85; car key loss help with programming can hit $150-$300 depending on the vehicle. We give you the real number up front as part of our emergency key service Brooklyn promise.

When you move into a new place or just bought a building, new tenant rekeying is smarter than full lock replacement unless the hardware is damaged or outdated. Rekeying keeps your existing lock body, swaps the pins so old keys won’t work, and costs half what a new lock costs. If the lock is cheap builder-grade or you want real lock security improvement, then swap it out entirely. For folks doing lock installation moving to Brooklyn, we’ll tell you which locks are worth keeping and which need to go.
