High-Security Locks in Williamsburg, Brooklyn - Installed the Same Day

If you want a lock that resists picking, drilling, and bumping, you need a high-security lock. Standard builder-grade deadbolts fail these tests. A high-security lock uses hardened steel, a patented keyway, and tight manufacturing tolerances that inexpensive locks skip. B & G Locksmith stocks and installs them at our counter inside B & G Hardware at 210 Robeling St in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

What high-security lock brands and models do we install?

We work with the brands that actually hold up in New York City conditions. Here are the ones we recommend most often for Brooklyn homes and businesses.

• Medeco Maxum Deadbolt - A top choice for Williamsburg apartment doors and Bed-Stuy brownstones. The rotating pin technology defeats picking and the hardened steel bolt resists sawing. Key duplication requires proof of ownership at an authorized dealer.
• Mul-T-Lock MT5+ - A cylinder lock used heavily in commercial applications across Downtown Brooklyn and Bushwick. The telescopic pin-within-a-pin design makes it one of the hardest cylinders to pick on the market. Available as a standalone cylinder to retrofit your existing deadbolt.
• Schlage B60N and B562 Series - ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts at a more accessible price point. Not at the same tier as Medeco or Mul-T-Lock for pick resistance, but far ahead of the hardware-store deadbolts most Greenpoint and East Williamsburg apartments come with.
• ASSA Abloy Protec2 - Popular with landlords and property managers running multiple units in Brooklyn. The patented key profile means tenants cannot copy keys at a corner store. We can set up a restricted key system for an entire building.

We keep cylinders and complete locksets in stock. Walk in and you can often leave the same day with the job done.

How much do high-security locks cost in Brooklyn?

Prices vary based on the brand, whether you need a cylinder swap or a full lockset, and how many doors are involved. Here are realistic ranges for the Brooklyn market.

• Schlage B-series installed - Typically $150 to $250 per door, parts and labor combined.
• Medeco Maxum installed - Usually $300 to $500 per door. The lock itself costs more because of the manufacturing quality and the restricted keyway license.
• Mul-T-Lock MT5+ cylinder retrofit - Generally $200 to $400 per door when we replace just the cylinder in your existing hardware.
• ASSA Abloy Protec2 with restricted keys - Pricing depends on the number of units and key quantity. Landlords and building supers should call us to talk through the system before budgeting.

We do not quote exact prices on this page because door prep, existing hardware, and frame condition all affect the final number. We give you a straight price before we start - no surprises at the end of the job.

Why choose B & G Locksmith over a phone-only locksmith service?

Most locksmiths in Brooklyn exist only as a phone number. You call, a dispatcher sends out a tech, and you have no idea what is actually going on until someone shows up. B & G Locksmith is different. We are the locksmith counter inside B & G Hardware at 210 Robeling St in Williamsburg. You can walk in, look at the locks on the shelf, talk to the person doing the work, and pick up spare keys while you wait.

That matters for high-security locks in particular. Installing a Medeco or Mul-T-Lock correctly requires the right tools and genuine parts. A phone-only service may show up with a knock-off cylinder or charge a premium for a lock you could have bought at our counter for less. We stock the real product. You can see the box before we open it.

We serve all of Brooklyn and the five boroughs. Whether you are a renter in Williamsburg, a landlord in Bed-Stuy, a super in Downtown Brooklyn, or a small business owner in Bushwick, we can get to you. And if you are nearby, walking in is always the fastest option.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a lock "high-security"?

A high-security lock resists picking, drilling, and bump keys. It uses a patented keyway so copies can only be made by an authorized dealer. ANSI Grade 1 is the minimum rating to look for.

Can I walk in and get a high-security lock installed the same day?

Yes. B & G Locksmith operates out of the B & G Hardware storefront at 210 Robeling St in Williamsburg. We stock Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Schlage B-series hardware. Walk in and we can often install it the same day.

Do high-security locks work with my existing door hardware?

Most do. Medeco and Mul-T-Lock cylinders fit standard US deadbolt preps. If your door or frame needs reinforcement first, we will tell you honestly before we start the job.
