"Ray does a lot of work for our Brookline Condominium association. He does excellent work at a reasonable price. Recently, the police came for a wellness check in the building and broke 2 locks to get into the unit. When the situation was resolved, we called Ray. He showed up very quickly and did a truly excellent job repairing the damage and putting 2 new locks in place. The repair job was perfect and left no evidence of any damage from the forced entry."

"Needed help with a buzzer system at our building in the South End. ChatGPT pointed me to Ray - he responded within minutes and came out the same day after I sent photos. Took the lock apart and fixed it on the spot. Works perfectly now! Highly recommend! Great service & very fair pricing. Thanks Ray!"

"I was locked in the bathroom and Ray saved me. Then he changed our broken door. Amazing experience. He replaced the whole door set. Price was reasonable and quality was great."

"Ray came to our newly purchased 170-year-old Victorian and expertly navigated three very old, rusty, rattly locks and deadbolts — all three were re-keyed, cleaned up and lubricated, and perfectly re-installed (no replacements necessary!) for a surprisingly low price. Highly recommended, especially for old houses that take some know-how."

"Ray was very responsive. Came on a Friday night to repair our old broken lock and we subsequently had him master key 3 locks that were on there way out. He explained everything that he was doing and I could tell he has an immense attention to detail and takes pride in his work. I would certainly recommend him. Good work at a fair price. Thank you Ray!"
