B & G Locksmith serves Greenpoint from our storefront counter inside B & G Hardware at 210 Robeling St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. If you are locked out, need new locks after a move, or want to upgrade building security, we send a licensed locksmith to your door or you can walk straight in and get keys cut while you wait. No call center, no runaround - just a real counter a few minutes away.
What kinds of lock jobs come up most often in Greenpoint?
Greenpoint is dense with pre-war walk-ups, newer condo conversions, and small mixed-use buildings along Manhattan Ave and Nassau Ave. That mix produces a specific set of jobs we handle constantly.
- Apartment lockouts. Old knob-and-deadbolt combinations on pre-war doors are common. We open them without damage and often upgrade the hardware on the same visit.
- Rekeying after tenant turnover. Landlords and supers on Eagle St, Calyer St, and the side blocks call us when a tenant moves out. We rekey Kwikset, Schlage, and Medeco cylinders so old keys stop working immediately.
- Lock upgrades in condo buildings. Newer Greenpoint condos often have builder-grade Kwikset 660 deadbolts. We replace them with Medeco M3, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, or Schlage B60N - a significant bump in pick and drill resistance.
- Storefront and gate locks. Small businesses on Manhattan Ave and commercial spaces near the Greenpoint waterfront need mortise locks, roll gate locks, and padlock hasps. We stock and install those daily.
If you are not sure what you need, describe the door and the problem when you call. We will tell you exactly what fits before we arrive.
Which locks and security products do you install in Greenpoint homes and businesses?
We stock hardware at the B & G Hardware store, so we are not waiting on a parts order. Here is what we install most in Greenpoint:
- Medeco M3 deadbolt - a top pick for apartment doors in pre-war buildings. Resists picking, bumping, and drilling. Restricted keyway means keys cannot be copied at a hardware box store.
- Mul-T-Lock MT5+ - popular with Greenpoint landlords managing multiple units. The interactive plus cylinder gives strong key control and works well with master key systems.
- Schlage B60N and BE489WB Encode - the B60N is a solid mid-range deadbolt for renters and owners who want reliability without a high-security price. The Encode is our most-installed smart lock: WiFi-built-in, no extra hub, works with Alexa and Google Home.
- August Smart Lock Pro (Z-Wave) - installs over your existing deadbolt. Good option for renters who cannot change the cylinder but want keyless entry and remote access.
- Intercom and access control. For small Greenpoint walk-ups and mixed-use buildings, we install Aiphone JO series video intercoms and Alarm.com access control panels. Building owners get a record of every entry.
We also supply door hardware off the shelf at B & G Hardware if you prefer to handle a basic installation yourself. Walk in and we will point you to the right product.
Why do Greenpoint residents and building owners call B & G instead of a phone-only locksmith?
Most locksmiths operating in Brooklyn have no storefront. You call a number, someone dispatches a tech, and you have no idea who is coming or what parts they carry. B & G Locksmith is different because we are an actual shop.
Here is what that means in practice for Greenpoint customers:
- Walk-in key cutting. Need a spare set of keys before work? Come to 210 Robeling St. We cut standard keys, high-security restricted keys, and transponder car keys in-store. Most cuts take under five minutes.
- Hardware on the shelf. If you want to see a Medeco cylinder or a Schlage handleset before buying, we have stock in the store. You are not ordering blind from a photo.
- Neighborhood accountability. We have been operating in this part of Brooklyn for years. Our reputation is local and visible. That matters when a locksmith is standing at your door.
- One call covers everything. Emergency lockout at 2am in Greenpoint, camera installation on a Nassau Ave shop, master key system for a 12-unit building - one number, one team.
We also serve Williamsburg, Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, East Williamsburg, Downtown Brooklyn, and the wider NYC area, so if your building has units in multiple neighborhoods we can cover the whole job.
