Imperial Locksmith & Security takes calls in Murray Hill, the immediate neighborhood of its customer-visit base at 113 E 31st St in Midtown.

Situations a locksmith handles in Murray Hill

  • A business owner has photos of a sticking lock and wants to understand whether the door itself needs inspection.
  • A manager has several unlabeled keys and needs a door-by-door plan before changing cylinders.
  • An occupant is considering a smart lock but has not yet checked the existing door preparation or building permission.
  • A locked-out customer needs to explain the opening and establish permission to enter, rather than bring hardware to the shop.

Services available here

  • Lock change and rekey
  • Commercial door hardware
  • Smart lock installation
  • Master key systems

A shop conversation can begin with photos, keys, and a clear description. Show the whole door as well as the close-up detail. A cylinder photo alone does not show frame contact, hinge position, or the way the latch meets its strike.

Leave installed hardware in place unless its removal has been discussed. A lock problem may need observation while the door is being operated. For a business, involve the person who uses or manages the opening every day.

Booking a visit

Say whether you want to visit the East 31st Street base or arrange work at a property. For an on-site visit, share the full address, door details, symptoms, and permission arrangements. Mention if the opening is currently inaccessible.

Common questions

Is there a separate Murray Hill shop?

No separate shop is being described here. The customer-visit location is 113 E 31st St in Midtown, and Murray Hill is its immediate neighborhood. The business is open 24/7.

Are photos enough to choose replacement hardware?

Photos can start the discussion. Door condition, measurements, and operating requirements may still need an on-site review before hardware is selected.

Should I remove the lock before visiting?

Discuss the issue first. Removing a component can take away useful information about how the installed lock and door operate together.
