Historically, resolving modern automotive lock issues meant paying for an expensive emergency tow truck to haul your vehicle to a dealership, where you would then wait days and pay heavily marked-up prices. Our mobile auto locksmith fleet eliminates that entire painful process by bringing the dealership's advanced diagnostic technology directly to your vehicle. - [Car Key Replacement](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/car-key-replacement) — A dealership will charge you 2–3 times more for replacement car keys — and require you to tow the vehicle in first. Ray comes directly to your location, whether you're stranded in a parking lot in Back Bay or locked out of your driveway in Newton. With professional key-cutting equipment and OBD programming tools on the van, most replacements are completed in under an hour. - [Commercial Locksmith Services](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/commercial) — Securing a commercial property in the Greater Boston area requires much more than simply installing heavy-duty deadbolts. Business owners face a complex web of employee access management, intellectual property protection, and incredibly strict municipal fire and safety codes. We partner with local retail shops, restaurants, corporate offices, and property management firms to provide comprehensive, code-compliant security solutions tailored to your specific operational needs. - [24/7 Emergency Locksmith](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/emergency) — Lock and key emergencies never happen when it is convenient. They happen when you are rushing to the airport, stepping out to grab the mail in the freezing rain, or returning home from a late shift at 2:00 AM. When a crisis strikes, you don't just need a locksmith—you need a rapid, highly reliable lifeline. Our mobile dispatch fleet operates a genuine 24/7 emergency response matrix across the Greater Boston area. - [Key Duplication & Copying](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/key-duplication) — Hardware store key kiosks use optical scanning and automated cutting machines that frequently produce copies with slightly wrong depths or spacing. The result is a key that works sometimes, sticks in cold weather, or wears your lock cylinder prematurely. When you need to copy a key — or a full set — our professional-grade cutting equipment matches factory specifications precisely. Key duplication in Boston is our bread and butter, and your copy works as reliably as the original. - [Lock Installation](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/lock-installation) — A lock is only as strong as its installation. Even the most expensive, pick-resistant deadbolt on the market is completely useless if the strike plate is misaligned or the door frame isn't properly reinforced. We provide master-level lock installation services for homes and businesses across the Greater Boston area, ensuring your hardware functions flawlessly and provides maximum resistance against forced entry. - [Lock Repair](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/lock-repair) — If your key is hard to turn or your deadbolt sticks, forcing it is a recipe for disaster. Ignoring a struggling lock usually results in a snapped key or being completely locked out late at night. Before you spend hundreds of dollars on brand-new hardware, let our master technicians take a look. In many cases, we can completely disassemble, clean, lubricate, and repair your existing lock. - [Expert Mobile Locksmith](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/locksmith) — Ensuring the safety of your home, business, and vehicle requires more than just a quick fix; it requires the expertise of a master technician. At City Locksmith 24/7, we have spent over a decade building a reputation as Greater Boston's most reliable mobile dispatch fleet. Whether you are facing a terrifying 2:00 AM lockout in the freezing cold, need transponder keys programmed for your SUV, or want to completely overhaul the access control system for your corporate office, we bring the expertise and the hardware directly to your door. - [Master Key Systems](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/master-key-system) — Managing a growing business or a multi-unit property shouldn't mean carrying around a heavy, confusing ring of keys. A Master Key System drastically simplifies your daily operations by allowing multiple customized keys to open specific doors, while a single "Grand Master" key bypasses every lock in the building. We design, implement, and maintain strategic keying hierarchies tailored specifically to your organization's operational needs. - [Mobile Locksmith](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/mobile-locksmith) — A traditional locksmith shop means you bring your problem to them — towing a car, removing a lock, waiting for parts. A mobile locksmith brings the entire solution to your doorstep. Every City Locksmith service van carries the same equipment you'd find in a professional shop: key cutting machines, transponder programmers, a full inventory of residential and commercial lock hardware, and specialized non-destructive entry tools. The difference is we set up at your location — your driveway, your office parking lot, your apartment hallway — and handle everything in a single visit. - [Professional Lock Rekeying](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/rekey-locks) — Rekeying is the most cost-effective and efficient way to completely secure your property. Rather than unscrewing and replacing perfectly good lock hardware, our master technicians disassemble your existing cylinders, remove the old pins, and reconfigure the internal mechanism to perfectly match a brand new key. The moment we finish, every old key immediately stops working. - [Residential Locksmith](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/residential) — Your home is your most valuable asset, and the physical hardware on your front door is its primary line of defense. At Boston City Locksmith, we take residential security incredibly seriously. Whether you are upgrading an aging deadbolt on a classic Victorian home or securing a modern luxury condo, our approach is built on precision craftsmanship and absolute respect for your property. - [Safe Opening & Installation](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/safe-services) — Safes are purpose-built to resist unauthorized entry — which means attempting to open one yourself almost always results in permanent damage, a voided warranty, and a much larger repair bill. Safe work is a specialty within locksmithing that requires dedicated tools, manufacturer knowledge, and hands-on experience. City Locksmith 24/7 brings all three to every job. - [Smart Lock Assessment](https://bostoncitylocksmith.com/smart-locks) — Most homeowners assume that a "smart lock" means a more secure lock. After 15 years of installing, servicing, and bypassing every major brand on the market, I can tell you that the opposite is often true. The convenience features that make these locks "smart" are frequently built on hardware that is mechanically weaker than a standard deadbolt from 1985. ## Credentials - Ray Feuerstein is a **solo owner-operator** — he personally handles every call and every job.
