Lock Repairs We prioritize repairing locks over replacing them whenever possible, as it’s more cost-effective and resourceful. However, some locks are beyond repair or of low quality and need replacement. Our service vans are stocked with replacement parts and a variety of locks. Many issues can be diagnosed and priced over the phone based on your description.
Old Locks & Mortise Locks Older homes in the Boston area often have vintage lock hardware that may need servicing or replacement. Mortise locks, commonly found in high-end properties, are durable and decorative. We recommend restoring these by cleaning and repairing internal components. If replacement is necessary, we offer two options:
1. Replace with a new mortise lock for quality and aesthetic value. 2. Retrofit the door for a modern, durable lock, often a cost-effective choice.
Modern Locks We carry only A grade locks for durability and can recommend decorative options to suit your style, provide warranty on our job.
Surface-Mounted Locks These older locks, operated by rim cylinders, often suffer from alignment issues or wear. When needed, we replace them with high-quality alternatives.
