Our home turf, plainly
Chadwicks is a hamlet inside the Town of New Hartford, so when you call us here you are calling the closest shop there is. It is a straight shot up Route 8 to the village and the streets around Butler Memorial Hall, then out Genesee Street toward Middle Settlement Road.
Most locksmiths in the area work weekday business hours. We answer nights and weekends, all year, and the short drive means the arrival time barely changes. That head start matters most in winter. A frozen deadbolt at ten below does not want to wait for a van coming from the far side of the county.
What does Commercial Drive need from a locksmith?
Plenty. The strip from Sangertown Square down Commercial Drive holds a big share of the county's retail, and retail means doors that get used hard, from the glass up front to the steel receiving doors in back.
A storefront lockout runs from $95, quoted exactly before we head your way. We also install panic bars where code calls for them and set up master key systems for managers who want one key instead of twelve.
If your opener is standing outside at 7 a.m. with a key that will not turn, call (916) 969-8748. We are about twelve minutes out on a bad day.
Just moved in? Change who holds the keys
New Hartford sells a lot of family homes, and every sold home comes with an unknown number of copied keys floating around. Rekeying on move-in day closes that question, from $30 per cylinder plus the $39 service call that gets credited toward the work, with the exact total quoted before we start.
We also install smart locks and swap tired deadbolts, with replacement locks from $65 each plus hardware, priced exactly before anything comes off the door. If your hardware is sound and just needs new pins, we will tell you that instead of selling you a lock you do not need.
