ABOUT US
Rainbow Locksmith NY has been answering New York’s doors since the 1990s long before “locksmith near me” was something you could type into a phone. Today, every job runs through Meir, a licensed master locksmith and co-owner who leads the team personally: he vets every technician, checks every installation, and still takes emergency calls himself. Three decades of trust, one standard of work.
We’re not a dispatch service routing your job to a stranger. When you call Rainbow, a real, vetted technician from our own team shows up and our 700+ five-star reviews are from real neighbors, many of whom thank Meir and the team by name.
Trusted since the 1990s.
DCWP-licensed and bonded.
