Mission Hill is home to students, hospital workers and families living in triple-deckers and apartment buildings. Gateway Locksmith Shop helps with lockouts, rekeys and lock changes across 02120.
Lock and key work in Mission Hill
Rental turnover is high on Mission Hill, so rekeying between tenants is common. Many triple-deckers have a shared front door, a back porch door and individual unit doors, which can add up to a lot of keys. We can rekey these so each tenant carries fewer keys while the owner keeps a master.
Getting a technician to Mission Hill
Technicians are dispatched from our base in Boston 02109 and cover Mission Hill and the streets around Brigham Circle. Arrival times in Mission Hill depend on traffic and the calls already in progress, so ask for an estimate when you call 617-206-2137.
In triple-deckers and two-family homes, tell us whether the problem is the shared front door, a porch door or your own unit door. If the owner lives on site, they may want to be there when shared-door locks are changed.
