Good to know about Longwood
The Fenway Victory Gardens, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Symphony area give 02115 a quieter side, with longtime condo owners living alongside students. For them, a solid deadbolt and a reinforced strike plate are the most common upgrades. Medical and research staff sometimes ask about locks for home offices or file storage, which we can supply with keys kept separate from the house key.
Rentals with frequent move-ins
Apartments that change hands every September collect a lot of loose keys over the years. Renters should ask the landlord before rekeying, and landlords can reduce risk by rekeying between leases. Lost keys and roommate changes are the usual reasons for a call, and rekeying is normally the quickest fix. Bedroom-door locks in shared apartments can also be installed or rekeyed with the owner's permission.

Longwood locksmith FAQ
My roommate moved out with a key. What should I do?
Tell your landlord. Rekeying the apartment door is a quick fix, and the landlord can authorize it or arrange it.
Can you get a broken key out of the lock?
Yes. Broken key extraction is common, and the lock usually keeps working once the piece is removed.
Local tip: Before a lease starts, ask your landlord when the locks were last changed. If they can't say, ask for a rekey.
