"Had a lockout problem in Jamaica Plain – at JPkids arts It was a basement door for a storage area. The Electronic pad & door knob was a Schlage from approximately 8 to 10 years ago and unfortunately, it worked properly until the batteries ran out – our bad & the lock stopped functioning. I was recommended to call City Locksmith and looked them up on Google and Ray the locksmith answered the phone immediately. He asked me to send him a picture of the door so he could assess it and possibly give me a price after he saw a picture of the door and lock. After seeing the picture, he called me and said that the door is extremely tight and he could not give me a price because he could not be sure that he could gain entry without damaging the lock. He hope to get in without damage and perhaps save the lock and go from there. He arrived within 45 minutes He got the door opened without damaging the lock, which was a big deal . There after he took the lock apart, put a battery in and made sure that our code worked saving us a recoding fee. Given the work he did he charged us a reasonable price. Thanks Ray!"

"I own and manage 3 buildings in JP in Boston. With many tenants and locks I need to have a person that is both responsive and good and can work with the tenants. I lucked into finding Ray (other locksmiths just never showed up) but have always used him because he is very responsive, has a van with every conceivable part (so he is mainly a 1 stop fix), and his work is very good at a fair price. When we have had complex problems, he has talked to me about our options and let's me pick the best solution for our needs. Very happy."

Historic Lock Restoration
Many JP homes feature original, heavy-duty antique mortise locks. Over decades of use, the internal springs and brass wafers wear down, causing deadbolts to jam or stick. Whether your Victorian sits steps from the Arnold Arboretum or near the Soldiers' Monument on the Centre Street corridor, do not let an amateur drill these beautiful locks out. Our master technicians specialize in carefully disassembling these historic cassettes, repairing the internal mechanics, and restoring them to flawless working condition.
Whole-House Rekeying
When you purchase a new home in Jamaica Plain — whether it's near Jamaica Pond, Stony Brook, or Green Street — securing it should be your first priority. We provide comprehensive residential rekeying. We change the internal pins of your existing deadbolts so any old keys held by previous owners or contractors instantly stop working.
Centre Street Commercial Security
We proudly support the independent businesses that make Jamaica Plain so vibrant. If you manage a storefront or restaurant along Centre Street, South Street, or Hyde Square, we offer commercial-grade lock upgrades, electronic access control systems, and rapid emergency rekeying for employee turnover.
24/7 Emergency Lockouts
Locked out near Green Street station, Jamaica Pond, or the Arnold Arboretum late at night? Our 24/7 emergency servicecovers all of JP — from Stony Brook and Hyde Square to Centre Street and the neighborhoods around the Soldiers' Monument. We use non-destructive entry techniques, get you back inside fast, and never add hidden fees after the fact.
Just Moved into Jamaica Plain? Rekey Your Victorian Locks
Jamaica Plain's older homes — Victorians near Jamaica Pond, triple-deckers along Green Street, and craftsman houses in Stony Brook — often have lock hardware with decades of history behind them. Previous owners, contractors, house cleaners, and family members may all hold copies that still work on your front door the day you move in.
New home rekeying is the right first call. We change the internal pins of your existing deadbolts — including antique mortise locks if your Victorian still has the originals — so no previous key works without replacing the hardware. One visit covers every entry point, and you walk away knowing only your new keys open your doors.
