Back Bay Locksmith
Historic mortise lock restoration for brownstones and enterprise access control for high-end retail.
Boston's Back Bay requires a locksmith who truly understands historic architecture. Swapping out a lock on a 19th-century Commonwealth Avenue brownstone isn't a job for a novice with a power drill; it requires meticulous preservation techniques. Simultaneously, the luxury retail shops lining Newbury Street demand cutting-edge, high-security commercial hardware. We bridge the gap between historic preservation and modern, impenetrable security.
Historic Mortise Lock Repair
The massive, beautiful antique doors in Back Bay often hide incredibly complex, heavy-duty mortise lock cassettes deep inside the wood. When the springs break or the heavy brass key stops turning, do not let an amateur tear it out. We are experts in disassembling, cleaning, repairing, and re-pinning historic mortise locks to preserve the incredible character of your home's entrance.
Newbury Street Commercial Security
Securing a high-end retail boutique or office space in Back Bay requires commercial-grade precision. We supply and install restricted keyway systems that physically prevent employees from making unauthorized key copies. We also install heavy-duty, ADA-compliant commercial hardware, electronic access control systems, and master key hierarchies for multi-floor buildings.
Invisible Smart Lock Upgrades
You want the convenience of opening your door with your iPhone, but you don't want an ugly, modern plastic keypad ruining your historic wooden door (or violating neighborhood association rules). We integrate specialized smart locks directly into the interior mechanism of your existing deadbolt, keeping the classic exterior hardware completely unchanged.

The heavy antique lock on my Commonwealth Ave brownstone is jamming. Can it be fixed?
Yes. Do not replace it! We specialize in historic mortise lock repair. Our technicians can carefully extract the antique cassette from your heavy wooden door, rebuild the internal mechanics, and lubricate the system so it functions perfectly while preserving the historic look of your entryway.
We run a high-end retail shop on Newbury Street. Do you install restricted commercial locks?
Absolutely. For high-value retail locations, we install restricted keyway systems (like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock). This ensures that your employees physically cannot duplicate store keys at a local hardware store, giving you absolute control over who has access to your inventory.
Can you install a smart lock that complies with Back Bay Architectural Commission guidelines?
Yes. We install advanced smart lock systems that are housed entirely inside the interior core of the door. From the outside, the door retains its original, historic brass deadbolt aesthetic, satisfying neighborhood guidelines while giving you smartphone and Bluetooth access.
