If the lock on your rolling gate is stuck, broken, or no longer secure, you need it handled fast. B & G Locksmith works on rolling gate locks for storefronts, warehouses, garages, and commercial properties throughout Williamsburg and all of Brooklyn. We carry common gate locks at our counter inside B & G Hardware at 210 Robeling St, so there is no waiting on a parts order in most cases.
What types of rolling gate locks do we work on?
Rolling gate locks come in a few standard configurations. Most gates in Williamsburg and Brooklyn use one of the following:
- Slam locks - These lock automatically when the gate drops. Common on steel roll-up gates. Brands include Sargent and Greenleaf and generic OEM versions found on older NYC storefronts.
- Cylinder deadbolts for gates - A keyed cylinder mounted in a housing that bolts through the gate slat or side guide. Medeco and Mul-T-Lock make high-security versions worth the upgrade if you are in a high-traffic commercial corridor.
- Pad-eye and padlock setups - Common on smaller gates. We can upgrade the hasp and install a quality padlock like a Medeco M3 or Abloy PL362 for serious cut resistance.
- Double-cylinder keyed locks - Used on gates with guide rails that allow keying from outside. Popular on Bushwick and Bed-Stuy commercial properties.
- T-handle locks - Found on overhead and roll-up garage-style gates. Common in East Williamsburg warehouses and auto shops.
We also work on the lock housing, strike plates, and guide rail hardware that affects how the lock engages. A new lock on a bent or worn rail will not perform correctly. We check the whole assembly.
What does rolling gate lock service cost in Brooklyn?
Pricing depends on the lock type, the condition of the gate, and whether it is an emergency or a scheduled visit. Here is a realistic range to set expectations:
- Standard slam lock replacement - typically $150 to $300 including parts and labor, depending on brand and cylinder grade.
- High-security cylinder upgrade - Mul-T-Lock or Medeco cylinders add cost. Budget $250 to $450 for parts and installation on a commercial gate.
- Padlock and hasp upgrade - $80 to $200 depending on the padlock. An Abloy or Medeco padlock costs more than a Master Lock, and for good reason.
- Emergency lockout - After-hours and emergency service carries a premium. Expect $200 and up depending on time of day and gate condition.
- Rekey only - If the lock body is in good shape, rekeying runs $75 to $150 in most cases.
We do not quote specific prices over the internet because every gate is different. A Downtown Brooklyn gate with a warped rail and a rusted housing costs more to service than a newer Williamsburg storefront gate in good condition. Call us or stop by and we will give you a straight answer.
Why use B & G Locksmith for your rolling gate instead of a phone-only service?
Most locksmith calls in Brooklyn go to a dispatch center that sends out whoever is available. You do not know who is showing up or what they are carrying in their van. B & G Locksmith is different. We are a real storefront at 210 Robeling St in Williamsburg. You can walk in, talk to a locksmith at the counter, and handle key duplication, lock hardware, or a quick question in person.
For rolling gate work, that matters for a few reasons:
- We stock common gate lock cylinders and hardware on the shelf. Less waiting for parts.
- We know the gates in this neighborhood. Williamsburg storefronts, Greenpoint workshops, Bushwick studios - we have worked on them.
- We are accountable. We have a physical address. If something is not right, you know where to find us.
We also cut keys in-store. If your gate uses a restricted keyway like Mul-T-Lock MT5+ or Medeco, we can handle duplicates at the counter rather than sending you somewhere else.
For urgent gate lock issues, call B & G Locksmith at (347) 699-9268. For non-emergency work, you are welcome to walk in at 210 Robeling St in Williamsburg and talk through options face to face.
