Sky Locksmith & Safes lists its address as 1574 1st Avenue, New York, NY 10028. The block sits in Yorkville between East 81st and East 82nd Streets. The “& Safes” in the name signals safe service capability — a specialty beyond standard locksmithing that requires specific training in mechanical, electronic, and high-security safe systems.
Safe service capabilities
A locksmith with safe-service capability handles: combination changes on dial mechanical safes, electronic safe lock replacement, safe opening for lockouts (typically by drilling and re-machining, sometimes by manipulation), and safe relocations. Each requires different training and tools.
The UES residential safe market
Upper East Side residential safes are common in pre-war buildings — closet safes, wall safes, and free-standing safes from the 1920s-1950s. Many are inherited and have lost their combinations over the years. A specialist can either recover the combination (rare), drill and re-key (typical), or replace with a new safe.
Calling for service
The listed number is +1 212-XXX-XXXX. For safe work the call should describe the safe make/model if known, its location in the apartment, and whether the goal is opening or just maintenance.
Getting to 1574 First Avenue
The address is a 5-minute walk from the 86th Street 4/5/6 and 6 minutes from the 77th Street 6.
