Locksmith in Morningside Heights, NY
Golden Key is a licensed, bonded and insured locksmith serving Morningside Heights since 1984. Our professional technicians provide residential and institutional lock changes, rekeying, deadbolt installation, emergency lockout service and security solutions throughout Morningside Heights — Broadway, Amsterdam Avenue, Morningside Drive and the blocks between 110th and 125th Streets surrounding Columbia University and Barnard College. Zip code 10025 and 10027.
Morningside Heights is a residential and institutional neighborhood — prewar walk-ups, university-affiliated housing, postwar apartment buildings and the institutional properties of Columbia, Barnard, Union Theological Seminary and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The residential buildings need standard locksmith service — lock changes, rekeying, deadbolt upgrades, emergency lockouts. The institutional properties need master key systems, restricted keying and access control hardware. The student population means high tenant turnover and frequent rekeying. Our team carries Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Schlage and Yale for both residential and institutional work.
Every Golden Key technician is trained, licensed and background-checked. Morningside Heights landlords, building managers, institutional facilities staff and residents trust our professional, insured locksmith service — four decades in upper Manhattan.

Morningside Heights Home & Building Security
Morningside Heights’ high tenant turnover — driven by the student population — makes entrance rekeying and apartment lock changes the most critical recurring security need. Buildings that do not rekey between tenants accumulate unknown key holders over time. We provide efficient rekeying service for landlords managing multiple turnovers per year. For institutional properties, we install and maintain restricted keying systems and electronic access hardware.

Licensed locksmith service in Morningside Heights since 1984 — serving upper Manhattan residents and institutions for four decades. Golden Key: Morningside Heights’ locksmith.
Needed urgent lock change for our DUMBO store. They used Mul-T-Lock cylinders for extra security. Highly recommend.
Kenny replaced weatherstripping on a revolving door at our Upper West Side building. Immediate improvement. The lobby feels like it's summer again during the dead of winter.

Mark came to our apartment after we couldn't lock the door. He replaced the internal cylinder and made it safer with a Mul-T-Lock upgrade.
