Trade Center Security Systems, Inc. d/b/a Trade Center Locksmith & Hardware

I was locked out of my place recently, these guys came and opened the door for me in no time. Very cordial and professional. The amount they charged me for an emergency service was reasonable considering the Wall Street being such an expensive place for doing business. I have not been to their hardware store located behind New York Stock Exchange. I think that is going to be fine place to shop too.

I recently needed a toilet fill valve on short notice. Normally, I would buy it at home depot for $7.50. However, I needed it right away so I searched google for a hardware store near my work. I tried the nearest three: 1. Trade Center Security Systems 45 New St: Small hardware store. very high prices. They want $27 for the fill valve. I once had keys cut here in the past and they did a good job. 2. Basics Plus Inc 85 John St: Not really a hardware store but a housewares store. They mostly have pots, pans and candles. They have a few glues and nails in the corner. They did not have the fill valve. Dick's Hardware Inc 9 Gold St: Relatively large store with two floors. They had the fill valve for $10. More than home depot but reasonable for manhattan. I bought it. There was sort of a long line as the person before me was having keys cut.

Tried their locksmith service, and they were not only extremely late in showing up (almost an hour late), but even worse, they were incredibly rude, and even borderline inappropriate at times. Will definitely be calling a different company next time I’m in a pinch!
