Dyker Heights is one of Brooklyn's most affluent residential neighborhoods, known for its large detached and semi-detached homes, manicured lawns, and annual holiday light displays. We serve all of Dyker Heights (ZIP code 11228). Located between Ba...
The typical Dyker Heights home has four to six exterior entry points: a main front door, a side entrance, a rear or patio door, a basement bulkhead or Bilco door, and a garage entrance (often both a pedestrian door and an overhead vehicle door). Each of these entry points has its own lock -- and in security-conscious Dyker Heights, many homeowners use high-security deadbolts on the main doors plus supplementary locks on secondary entrances.
Many Dyker Heights homes have alarm systems integrated with their locks, particularly on ground-floor windows and doors. When servicing locks in these homes, our technicians coordinate with the alarm system to avoid triggering false alarms. We are familiar with the major alarm brands installed in the neighborhood and can work around sensors without disturbing the security setup.
The large homes also mean more keys in circulation -- family members, housekeepers, dog walkers, and contractors may all have copies. Periodic rekeying is a common service request in Dyker Heights, particularly after construction or renovation projects when multiple contractors have had key access.
In addition to Dyker Heights, our Brooklyn locksmith teams serve Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Borough Park, Bath Beach, and Sunset Park. No matter where you are in Brooklyn, our mobile locksmiths can reach you.
Our Brooklyn teams are positioned throughout the borough for typically 15-20 minute response times to Dyker Heights.

Yes. We routinely rekey entire Dyker Heights homes in a single visit -- front door, side door, rear door, basement, and garage. For a typical home with five to six locks, the job takes about two to three hours. We provide new keys for every lock and can set up a master-key system if you want one key for all exterior doors.
Not if we coordinate. Before we begin, we will ask about your alarm setup. If the alarm is armed, we will work with you to disarm it (by phone if needed) or use an entry point that is not sensor-monitored. Our goal is to get you inside without triggering a false alarm or a police dispatch.
Yes. We install and configure smart locks from brands like Yale, Schlage, and August. For Dyker Heights homeowners, we often recommend models that work alongside existing high-security deadbolts, giving you both app-based convenience and mechanical backup. We test all smart locks thoroughly before leaving.
For Dyker Heights homes, we typically recommend Medeco M3 or Mul-T-Lock MT5+ for main entry doors. These locks use patented key blanks that cannot be copied at hardware stores, and their pick-resistant cylinders meet the highest ANSI/BHMA security grades. For secondary doors, a Schlage B60N deadbolt offers strong protection at a lower price point.
