Storage lockout NYC — lock types on storage units
Most NYC storage units use one of three setups: a standard padlock on a hasp, a disc lock (the round stainless ones), or a built-in cylinder lock on newer facilities. Disc locks resist bolt cutters, which is why facilities recommend them — we remove them with the right tools and install a fresh lock you hold the only keys to.
Moving out or cleaning out a unit?
If the lockout is part of a move-out or an estate cleanout, timing matters — facilities charge by the day and auction delinquent units on a schedule. Tell the dispatcher your deadline and we plan the visit around the facility's office hours, since most require you to check in before any lock comes off a unit door.
What to bring to the facility
Every NYC storage facility follows the same basic protocol: photo ID matching the rental agreement, and the agreement itself or your account number. The front office verifies you, notes the lock removal, and we do the rest. If a relative's unit is involved, call the facility first — they will tell you what documentation they need before anyone touches the lock.
Inherited and estate storage units
Clearing a parent's or relative's storage unit is common in NYC, and the missing key is usually the smallest problem. The facility sets the documentation rules — typically a death certificate and proof of authority over the account — and once the office clears you, we remove the lock and fit a new one so the unit stays secure while you sort the contents.

Storage Lockout FAQs
Do I need to notify the storage facility before you come?
Yes — most NYC storage facilities require you to check in at the office with ID and your rental agreement before a locksmith can remove a lock on your unit.
Can you remove a disc lock from my storage unit?
Yes. Disc locks are designed to resist bolt cutters, but we carry the tools to remove them cleanly. We install a replacement lock in the same visit so the unit is secured before we leave.
What happens to the unit after you remove the lock?
You inspect the contents, and we install a new padlock or disc lock that only you have keys to. The old lock is yours to keep or we dispose of it — your call.
The unit is in a relative's name — can you open it for me?
The facility decides what documentation they require — typically proof of authority over the account. Once their office clears you, we remove the lock. Call the facility first and we coordinate from there.
