NEVER Get Locked Out Of Your Apartment Again

New Yorkers get locked out of their apartments approximately three million times a year. That's three million calls to coordinate with roommates and supers. Or, even worse, three million expensive lock changes. Thankfully, KeyMe, has found a solution that's easyand affordable.

KeyMe's five, self-service kiosks, located in 7-Eleven stores around Manhattan, provide users with 24-hour access to their keys. Create an on-the-spot duplicate key in under a minute or store a digital copy of your key that can be accessed when you're locked out.

After storing a digital copy of your key for free, you'll never have to worry about being stranded again. Simply log in at any KeyMe kiosk — fingerprint authentication and multiple additional security measures are employed for safety, and you'll never have to provide an address or location information — and you'll be home sweet home in no time.

Creating a key from a digital copy costs $19.99, while creating a duplicate costs $3.49 for a basic brass key and $5.99 for a decorative key. Indeed, the KeyMe kiosks offer decorative keys that have sports themes and even, get this, open bottles. The first two kiosks are already active in 7-Eleven stores at 1594 York Avenue (at 84th Street) and 224 Fifth Avenue (between 27th and 28th streets). Another three will be installed around the city this week.
