KeyMe Locksmiths

Second Avenue moves fast—delivery bikes, crosstown buses, and a steady stream of Upper East Side foot traffic. Tucked between a dry cleaner and a cell-phone repair kiosk, KeyMe Locksmiths offers a quiet counterpoint to the rush. This is the kind of place where a lost key or a stubborn lock doesn’t have to derail an entire afternoon.

They specialize in key duplication, cutting everything from standard house keys to high-security fobs and transponder chips for cars. Need a spare for the new apartment? They can handle that. Locked out of the office after hours? A quick call usually brings someone on-site within the hour. The service also clones RFID badges and mailbox keys—small conveniences that save a trip to the hardware store or the dealership.

You’ll find the shop at 1239 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10065, a short walk from the 6 train at 68th Street. The neighborhood’s mix of pre-war walk-ups and newer condos means there’s always demand for reliable lock work; KeyMe fits neatly into that rhythm. No appointment is needed for most duplication jobs, though it’s best to ring ahead if you’re bringing something unusual.

Add the contact once near the end: call (646) 798-2480. For directions or last-minute questions, the map is here: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c258e852e0484b:0x12a810aa34b50ff7. A spare key made today could be the one that keeps tomorrow from turning into a lockout story.
