Beacon Hill Lock & Key

On the phone Bob helped me to unlock bedroom door. Honest and reliable. I know who to call if I ever have serious door lock problem.

Very positive experience!
We lost a key to an armoire years ago. Bob had never done work for us in the past, but was recommended to us. I called Bob and he was over at our house just minutes later. With the tools he had available, after 20 minutes or so of trying to open the lock he was unable to do so and said he would return at another date once he received «blanks» from the key company. Without knowing Bob, at this juncture, I was pretty sure that I wouldn’t hear from him again — because it seemed like a bigger than expected job.
True to his word however, a few days later he texted me to let me know he had the «blanks» available. After a few minutes of lock picking, the armoire door was opened.
I was very satisfied with my experience and would definitely recommend Bob to others.

They claim to be «high end» but when called for a simple duplication of a case key, they said they «didn’t have the equipment»
What locksmith doesn’t have the equipment to duplicate a key?
The key in question was for a jewelry case at a retail jewelry store at which I work. It is a legitimate key for a standard (within the showcase industry) lock.

Amazing! Definitely call Bob! I locked myself out of my apartment and he came as soon as he could. He was fabulous — I trusted him, he did a great job, personable, great price etc. He was much better than other locksmiths I have used in the past — hands down — and much better priced.
While locked out, I called around to other «locksmiths». Bob warned me about them, and he was right, they are not really locksmiths and they basically try to rip you off. I cancelled another service that I didn’t trust and they showed up even after Bob was there and tried to get me to pay them for showing up. Bob handled the situation and was wonderful. After a little research it is clear that there are a lot of guys out there that claim to be locksmiths or handymen that can’t actually do the job and ruin your lock. They pop up with a number and website but no credentials and then charge you an arm and a leg. Don’t let that happen to you — CALL BEACON HILL LOCK.
Without a doubt call Bob and wait for him if you have to. It is not worth calling anyone else! I promise!

Let me join the chorus: Bob is the real deal. He’s a talented locksmith who can undo others mistakes and is a personable, engaging person when he works. He helped me out recently after I called a ²⁴⁄₇ locksmith who broke my lock and then couldn’t repair it. Bob came over in the morning and improved upon the lock system that I had previously. Would definitely recommend him to everyone in the neighborhood.

When my dad was dying a few years ago, I locked myself out of my car on more than one occasion. Had a lot on my mind those days. One time he was directly across the street and came right over.
I’ve had a few other occasions to need Bob’s services for work as well. He’s fast and good and personable. Rates seem a little high, but I don’t really have much to compare to. Fortunately for me, I’ve never needed a night call, so I can’t speak to that.
I’d recommend him to anyone.

Bob was recommended by Jack at Charles Street Supply – since Jack literally has never failed us with any recommendations, we knew this was a good start. Bob was, as expected, fantastic. Responsive, courteous, friendly, and totally knows his stuff. Fixed two ancient locks that the previous tenants had broken, planed down a door, even fixed hinges. Totally affordable, too.
