Questions about home lockout
Will you damage my door or lock to get in?
In most cases no. We start with non-destructive methods. Drilling is a last resort, used only when a lock has failed, and we always explain it and the cost first.
Do you need proof I live there?
Yes. For everyone's protection we ask for ID or other proof of residency before opening a home, which is standard practice for licensed locksmiths.
How fast can you arrive?
Response times vary with traffic and your location, but because we work throughout NYC and Long Island a technician is usually nearby. Call and we will give you an honest time estimate.

What our customers say
Elan was on time which is a plus! After I explained the situation with my lock, he gave different scenarios to choose from. He also advised me that I didn't need to change my entire lock system, only the cylinder needed changing. He did the job very fast, and explained the problem the previous tenants didn't take care of. I highly recommend Locksmith Excellence.
Elan came twice. First, right away to give the estimate and explain the job, changing out a deadbolt lock and providing five smart keys. He came back the next day and did the job. Very friendly and professional.
I needed a lock replaced on the front door. Elan gave me the price upfront and completed the project under the time he told me. Excellent job!
