Nostrand Locksmith is based in Bedford-Stuyvesant at 249 Nostrand Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11205. You can visit Monday through Sunday, 10:00AM to 6:00PM Eastern, and a separate 24/7 emergency line is there for lockouts. Services include lock changes and rekeys, high-security locks, smart lock installation, door hardware and repair, key cutting and duplication, safes, commercial locksmith work, and intercom and access control.
Visiting hours and the emergency line
You can walk in at 249 Nostrand Ave from 10:00AM to 6:00PM, seven days a week. Outside those hours, plan on the phone rather than the door.
The 24/7 emergency line is for lockouts. It keeps a phone route open around the clock, but it does not stretch the visiting hours.
Which jobs suit a visit and which start with a call
Jobs built around something you can carry suit a daytime visit. The actual key or part answers questions a phone call cannot.
- Key cutting and duplication: bring the key you want copied. A duplicate has to match the cuts on the original.
- Lock change and rekey: a rekey changes the small spring-loaded pins inside the cylinder so old keys stop working, while a lock change replaces the lock itself. A working key for that lock helps show what you have.
- High-security locks, smart lock installation, and door hardware and repair: bring photos of the lock face and the door edge, and note any part that sticks, rattles, or will not latch.
- Safes, intercoms, and access control: this equipment is usually fixed in place, so start with a call and a clear description of what it does or has stopped doing.
A lockout outside 10:00AM to 6:00PM belongs on the 24/7 emergency line. There is nothing to carry in, and the address is open only during those hours.
Homes, managed buildings, and businesses
At home, the relevant services are a lock change or rekey after a move or a lost key, key duplication, smart lock installation, high-security locks, and safes.
For property managers, door hardware and repair covers worn or loose hardware on shared doors, a rekey makes sense when occupants change, and intercom and access control apply to shared entries.
Business owners can use the commercial locksmith service, along with access control for staff entry and safes for cash or records.
What to note before you get in touch
- Which door or lock: front, back, interior, gate, safe, or intercom panel.
- What you notice: the key turns but the bolt stays put, the key will not go in, the handle is loose, or a code stopped working.
- Whether it is urgent, meaning you are locked out now or cannot secure the door tonight.
- Whether the property is a home or a business, and whether you manage it for someone else.
With that ready, call Nostrand Locksmith at (516) 644-8976. If the job involves something you can carry, you can also bring it in between 10:00AM and 6:00PM.
