There's nothing like that feeling when your key turns smoothly in the lock, and you know everything inside is safe and sound. But if you're locked out, dealing with a broken key, or just not feeling as secure as you'd like, that peace of mind goes right out the window. At Domenic Emergency Locksmith, we've been helping Bostonians feel safe at home for over 20 years, and we've seen just about every lock-and-key situation you can imagine. From late-night lockouts to lock upgrades and rekeys, we're your friendly, reliable local locksmith team.
Getting locked out of your own house is a frustration you never really get used to. One moment you're grabbing the newspaper or stepping out with the trash, and the next - the door clicks shut, and there you are, stuck on the other side. We had a client in Jamaica Plain call us recently after just such a situation. She had her dog waiting inside, barking up a storm, and she was feeling the pressure to get back in. We arrived quickly, got her back inside in a flash, and the look of relief on her face (and the happy tail wagging from her pup) said it all.
We understand that being locked out is more than just inconvenient - it's frustrating, stressful, and often happens at the most inconvenient times. If you find yourself in a jam, give us a call. We'll be there quickly, with zero hassle and no damage to your locks or door.
Just moved in? Congratulations! There's nothing quite like the excitement of a new home. But before you get too settled, take a moment to consider rekeying your locks. Rekeying is a quick, simple process that changes the lock so old keys no longer work, giving you the peace of mind that only you have access. Recently, we helped a family in Back Bay who had just moved into a lovely older home. They loved everything about it - except for the fact that they didn't know how many keys were still out there. We rekeyed the locks on all the doors, and they finally had that "this is really ours" feeling.
If you're moving in, had recent visitors who needed a spare, or just want that extra layer of security, rekeying is an affordable way to make sure your space is safe and sound.
Keys and locks take a beating over the years, and sometimes they give out at the worst possible moment. A key gets stuck, a lock won't turn, or - worse - a key snaps right in the lock. One of our clients in South End had just that happen last winter. She was heading out the door, key in hand, and snap! It broke off right in the lock. We arrived quickly, removed the broken key piece, and had her on her way with a freshly cut key in no time. She was relieved, and so were we!
If you've got a key that won't budge, we always recommend calling a professional rather than trying to force it. Our team has the tools and techniques to get broken keys out smoothly, without damaging your lock. And if your key just won't turn? That's often a sign it's time for a tune-up or a replacement.
Sometimes, an old lock needs an upgrade. Maybe you're in an older home with locks that feel a little loose, or maybe you want extra security with a deadbolt or even a smart lock. We've worked with Boston homeowners to install everything from classic deadbolts to high-tech keyless entry systems. Just last month, a client in Charlestown called us after realizing their back door wasn't as secure as they'd like. We installed a high-quality deadbolt, gave the other locks a tune-up, and they finally felt at ease knowing their home was safe.
If you're curious about your options, we're happy to help. From simple deadbolts to modern smart locks, we can recommend the right security solutions for your specific needs.
