Dependable Security & Lockouts for Allston Renters

Allston is one of the most vibrant, high-energy neighborhoods in Boston. Between the massive September 1st moving rush, endless apartment blocks, and late nights on Harvard Ave, lock issues are just a part of living here. I am Ray, owner of City Locksmith 24/7. Whether you are a student locked out of your building or a property manager turning over units, we provide fast, no-nonsense lock services you can actually afford.

"Lost my keys somewhere on Harvard Ave on a Saturday night. Called Ray and he was at my apartment near Packard's Corner in 15 minutes. Picked the lock super fast and cut me a new key right from his van. Absolute lifesaver and totally fair price."

"I manage a few buildings off Comm Ave. Ray handles all of our September 1st turnovers. He rekeys the units fast, sets up our master keys perfectly, and never leaves a mess. Best locksmith in the Boston area for landlords."

We use professional lock-picking tools to get you back inside quickly without damaging your landlord's door or hitting you with hidden fees.

Move-In Rekeying & Apartment Security

When you sign a new lease in Allston, you have no idea how many spare keys are still floating around from past tenants. Instead of buying all new hardware, we provide cost-effective lock rekeying. We change the internal pins of your existing deadbolt and hand you a brand new set of keys, instantly making any old copies useless.

Mailbox Locks & Intercoms

In large multi-family buildings, small security details matter. If you have lost the tiny key to your lobby mailbox, we can easily replace the cam lock for you. We also assist Allston property managers with upgrading and repairing building buzzers and entry systems, ensuring front doors latch securely to keep unauthorized visitors out of the stairwells.
