Minkel Safe & Lock Co., Inc. has been Staten Island’s trusted security partner for nearly a century. While our locksmith foundations were established in 1924, we completely modernized our operations in 1995 to meet the evolving security needs of residential, commercial, and industrial clients throughout Staten Island and New Jersey.
From traditional craftsmanship to cutting-edge technology – we combine decades of proven expertise with the latest security innovations to protect what matters most to you.
We offer a broader range of services than any competitor and are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding commercial locks, industrial locks, office locks, residential locks, or automotive security requirements.
In 1924, when Calvin Coolidge was president and the first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade marched through New York, a small locksmith shop opened on Staten Island with a simple but profound promise: to protect what matters most to our neighbors. Founded on the principles of honest craftsmanship and unwavering service, Minkel Safe & Lock began what would become a century-long journey of trust.
We stood steadfast through the Great Depression, World War II, and the transformative decades that followed. When Staten Island families needed us most - whether a young mother locked out with her baby crying inside, or a business owner securing his life's work - we were there. Through blackouts and blizzards, through Staten Island's growth from rural farmland to thriving borough, we answered every call.
As the world changed around us, we chose to evolve without losing our soul. In 1995, we completely modernized our operations - new technology, expanded services, cutting-edge security solutions - but we never forgot that behind every lock is a family's safety, behind every safe is someone's most precious possessions. The tools changed; our heart never did.
Today, we celebrate not just 100 years in business, but 100 years of sacred trust. We've secured four generations of the same families. We've held the keys to Staten Island's most important moments - from installing the first locks in newlyweds' homes to opening safes for families saying goodbye to loved ones. We've been guardians of what matters most, keepers of safety and security, protectors of dreams and memories.
