Question 1

I just signed a lease on Flatbush Avenue — does my landlord have to give me a working key?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under NYC law, a landlord must provide a tenant with at least one working key to their unit at the start of tenancy. If you moved in and the lock is broken, sticks, or you were given fewer keys than people on the lease, the landlord is required to remedy that. Call us and we will document the lock condition and get you working keys same day.

Question 2

Is there a locksmith in Flatbush open at night for emergencies?

Accepted Answer

Avenue Locksmith operates 24 hours a day, every day including holidays. Flatbush is well within our regular service area — response time is typically 20–35 minutes depending on traffic. Call (347) 386-7164 for immediate dispatch. Do not wait until morning if you are locked out — your safety comes first.

Question 3

How much does it cost to change the locks in a Flatbush apartment?

Accepted Answer

A standard rekey (changing the internal pins so old keys no longer work) costs $65–$85 per lock. A full lock replacement with a new Kwikset or Schlage deadbolt runs $95–$150 installed. For two locks (front door and door knob), budget $130–$220 total. We give you an exact quote before starting.

Question 4

My Flatbush building has a broken intercom — can you fix that or is it only for door locks?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in door locks, deadbolts, and entry systems. Intercom and buzzer systems are typically handled by an intercom-specific company or your building super. However, if the issue is the door latch or electric strike connected to the intercom buzzer, we can service that component.

Question 5

Can a locksmith help if I have been locked out of my Flatbush apartment and my landlord is unreachable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Being locked out does not require your landlord's permission to get back in — it is your home. A licensed locksmith can verify you are the tenant (lease, ID, utility bill matching the address) and open the door using non-destructive techniques. We handle this routinely in Flatbush. Call us and have your ID ready.
