Good to know about Codman Square
Lower Mills, Ashmont and Codman Square are all near Red Line or trolley stops, which makes it easy for residents to leave the car at home, and easy to lock keys inside it on a busy morning. We handle car lockouts here as often as house calls. Older homes on Ashmont Hill tend to have large wooden doors where we check the frame and hinges before fitting new hardware.
Locks for multi-family homes
Triple-deckers and two-families usually mean a shared front door, a lock on each unit and back stairs with doors of their own. Owners who rent out units often rekey between tenants and keep a master key for the common doors. Back porch doors are frequently overlooked; a solid deadbolt there matters as much as at the front. If you live in one unit and rent the others, a simple master key system can save a lot of key juggling.

Codman Square locksmith FAQ
Should I replace the original locks when renovating?
Not always. Sound old locks can often be serviced or rekeyed, and a modern deadbolt can be added for strength.
Can you rekey the common doors without changing each unit?
Yes. Common doors and unit doors can be keyed separately or on a master key system.
Local tip: When renovating, ask your contractor to return all keys. Rekeying once the work is done closes any gap.
