Our Valued Suppliers

In keeping with our tradition of helping our customers source materials and complete jobs they feel they can manage on their own, without our hands-on help, we are providing this list of suppliers - many of whom we ourselves are indebted to for quality products and specialized services.  The suppliers below are so listed based on their own merit and have given us nothing in exchange for their listing.

Greenwich Locksmith
56 7th Ave, NYCwww.greenwichlocksmiths.com(212) 242-4646
Owner Phil Mortillaro and now his son, Phil Jr. bring 50 years of locksmithing experience to lower Manhattan.  As an honest and hard-to-find bygone New York Tradesman, Phil brings a high level of integrity, trust, and expertise to a field that is fast losing its repuation.   We at the Tinker's Wagon are very cautious about recommending locksmiths to our customers and it takes years of knowing a locksmith before we will even consider putting his name on here; Phil earned that trust with us years ago.   Sadley, Greenwich serves only lower Manhattan but I frequently send my Brooklyn customers to him for locks and parts which many find they can pick up at the end of their workday.  Phil is one of my main suppliers of Medeco products.  If you visit Phil, tell him "Steve from Queens" sent you.
