Lock and key work in North End
Most homes here are walk-up apartments with a street door and a unit door, often with locks from several decades of landlords. Rekeying both doors to a single key is a common request. Restaurants and bakeries along Hanover Street call for back-door locks, walk-in cooler locks and new keys when staff change. Streets are narrow, so let us know if there's a better place to meet the technician.
Getting a technician to North End
Technicians are dispatched from our base in Boston 02109 and cover the North End, Boston's oldest residential neighborhood. Arrival times in North End 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.

North End locksmith questions
Can my street door and apartment door use one key?
Often, yes, if the two locks share the same keyway. Speak to your landlord first, as they usually control the street door.
Do you work on restaurant locks?
Yes, including back doors, storage rooms and office doors for North End businesses.
Can you get through the narrow streets?
Yes. Just tell us about any access issues so we can plan where to park.
