Frequently asked questions
What types of deadbolts can you install on a Bronx home door?
We install a wide range of deadbolt types to fit different door styles and security needs. This includes standard single-cylinder and double-cylinder deadbolts, jimmy proof deadbolts for outward-swinging or apartment doors, and mortise locks that integrate directly into the door's edge for a stronger, more tamper-resistant fit. We also install smart deadbolts and keypad-entry locks for homeowners who want keyless convenience. During our visit we assess your specific door, frame, and existing hardware before recommending the best option for your situation.
How much does a deadbolt installation cost in The Bronx?
The price depends on several factors: the type and grade of lock being installed, whether any door frame preparation or repair is needed, the time of day the service is requested, and travel distance within The Bronx. A basic cylindrical deadbolt installation involves less labor and parts cost than a full mortise lock installation or a jimmy proof deadbolt setup on a non-standard door. We always provide a clear, confirmed up-front price before any work begins — no surprises, no add-ons after the fact. Call 718-618-6375 for a straight answer based on your specific situation.
Can a locksmith just unlock a door without damaging it?
In most cases, yes. Our trained technicians are skilled at non-destructive entry techniques that open a locked door without damaging the lock, door, or frame — and that is always our first approach. Damage-free entry is the goal. There are situations where a lock has been severely damaged, modified, or is a high-security model that resists standard methods, and in those cases we discuss all options with you before taking any action. We never force unnecessary damage just to speed up a job.
Do you provide 24/7 locksmith services including emergency lock installations?
Yes, completely. Parkchester Locksmith Bronx Corp operates around the clock, every day of the year. Whether you need an emergency deadbolt installation after a break-in attempt at midnight, or you simply realized at 6 a.m. that your front door lock is failing, we dispatch a mobile technician to your location. Being a 24/7 operation is not just a marketing phrase for us — it means a real person answers when you call 718-618-6375 at any hour, and a technician is on the way shortly after.
I can't open my car door and need to get somewhere fast — can you help with that too?
Absolutely. While this page focuses on residential deadbolt and mortise lock work, our mobile team also handles auto lockout service throughout The Bronx. If you are locked out of your vehicle and in a hurry — whether you are outside your building in Parkchester, stuck near Yankee Stadium, or anywhere else in the borough — call 718-618-6375 immediately. We will dispatch a technician to your location as quickly as possible to get you back in your car and on your way without damaging your vehicle.
What is a mortise lock and when is it the right choice for a Bronx apartment or home?
A mortise lock is a type of lock that is set into a rectangular pocket — called the mortise — cut into the edge of the door itself. This embedded design makes it much more structurally integrated than a surface-mounted deadbolt, and it is highly resistant to kicking, prying, and other forced-entry attempts. Mortise locks are common in older Bronx buildings, brownstones, and multi-family residences. They are also frequently used in commercial locksmith applications for storefronts and office suites. If your door already has a mortise pocket from a previous lock, our team can often upgrade your existing hardware without requiring a new cutout, keeping the job clean and efficient.
