Window Lock Installation

In NYC burglary reports, windows rival doors as the way in, especially first-floor windows, anything reachable from a fire escape, and rear windows facing yards and alleys. SwiftLocksmith installs window locks and reinforcement hardware across all five boroughs, matched to the window types this city actually has: double-hung sashes in pre-war walk-ups and brownstones, sliding windows, casements, and basement hoppers.

What we install depends on the window and who lives there. For double-hung windows: keyed sash locks, ventilation stops that let the window open a few inches for air but no further, and pin locks through both sashes. For sliders: track locks and anti-lift hardware. For families with small children, we install childproof window restrictors alongside, and never in place of the required window guards on upper floors. On fire-escape windows we're strict about the code point many people miss: those windows must stay openable from the inside without a key, so we use approved releasable hardware there rather than keyed locks, keeping you secure without trapping you in an emergency.

Installation starts at $95 with same-day service available seven days a week, 8 AM to 10 PM. It's one of the cheapest real security upgrades an NYC apartment can get, and for ground-floor and fire-escape units the one we most often find missing entirely. Landlords: we do building-wide installations at per-unit pricing, and consistent hardware across units makes maintenance far simpler.
