Lock and key work in Charlestown
Federal-style and Greek Revival row houses near Monument Square often have original doors that need careful lock work. The Navy Yard's condos and offices tend to use modern commercial hardware and keyless entry. We work on both, and quote before starting so you know the cost.
Getting a technician to Charlestown
Technicians are dispatched from our base in Boston 02109 and cover Charlestown, including the Navy Yard and Bunker Hill. Arrival times in Charlestown depend on traffic and the calls already in progress, so ask for an estimate when you call 617-206-2137.
Older brownstone and row-house doors are often thicker and heavier than modern doors. If you can describe the lock when you call (brand, knob or lever, deadbolt or mortise), the technician can bring the right parts.
