Good to know about Charlestown
Charlestown residents often care about keeping the look of historic doors, so we talk through finishes before fitting anything visible from the street. In the Navy Yard, many buildings have managed entry, and our work there is usually unit doors, office suites and storage. Near Sullivan Square and the newer developments, the work is mostly apartment lockouts and new keys.
Older Boston doors, handled with care
Many homes here still have their original doors, some fitted with old mortise locks that sit inside the door edge. Those locks can often be repaired or given a new cylinder rather than replaced, which keeps the door's character intact. Where a stronger deadbolt is needed, we choose a finish and backset that suit the existing trim. Condo associations sometimes have rules about exterior hardware, so check before changing anything visible from the street.

Charlestown locksmith FAQ
Can you add a deadbolt without spoiling an old door?
Yes. We'll suggest a finish and position that suits the door, and the existing lock can often be kept as well.
Do you work in the Navy Yard buildings?
Yes, both residential and office. Mention any building access rules when you call.
Local tip: If an old door has a gap at the latch side, have it adjusted before installing a new lock; the lock will last longer.
