Locksmith Boston: AL Home Services
Boston is not a forgiving city when something goes wrong at the wrong time. It’s 28 degrees, there’s snow coming down on Comm Ave, and your keys are sitting on the kitchen counter inside a locked apartment.

COMPREHENSIVE LOCKSMITH SERVICES IN BOSTON
Residential Locksmith Services
Your home needs actual locks. Not the junk that came with the apartment that you can probably kick through.
What we do:
- Lock Installation & Replacement: Want serious deadbolts? Smart locks that work with your phone? Old stuff that’s falling apart? We’ll put in whatever you need.
- Lock Rekeying: Way cheaper option. Don’t replace the whole lock, just change the pins inside so old keys don’t work. Perfect after you move in or your ex-roommate leaves.
- Emergency Lockout Services: Get you back in without destroying your door. Takes maybe 10-15 minutes once we’re there.
- Key Duplication: Cut keys on the spot in our truck. House keys, the fancy high-security ones, commercial keys.
- Security Assessments: We’ll walk through your place and tell you straight up where the weak points are.
We also handle garage door repair, air duct cleaning, roofing, carpet cleaning, and home remodeling — so if your property needs more than one thing handled, you’re already working with a team you know. See how we operate and why that matters.
Commercial Locksmith Services
Business locks are more complicated. Employees quitting and you don’t know if they copied keys. Different security levels. Insurance wants certain types of locks.
What we handle:
- Master Key Systems: Managers get the master that opens everything. Regular employees get keys that only work for their areas.
- High-Security Lock Installation: The really good stuff. Grade 1 commercial locks, restricted keys that can’t just be copied anywhere.
- Access Control Systems: Electronic systems, keycards, the modern security that works when it’s set up right.
- Panic Bar Installation & Repair: Fire code makes you have these on emergency exits. We install them and keep them working.
- Safe Services: Safe won’t open? Forgot the combo? We crack safes regularly.
Work with all kinds of businesses. Shops on Newbury Street, offices downtown, warehouses over in Southie. Done jobs all over greater Boston.
Car Locksmith Boston
Car lockouts are brutal. Standing outside staring at your keys through the glass. Door’s locked. You’re already late. It’s February and freezing. Yeah, we’ve all been there.
Our car locksmith boston team does:
- Car Lockout Service: Get you in quick. Won’t scratch your paint or break anything.
- Transponder Key Programming: The chip keys and fobs newer cars have.
- Ignition Repair & Replacement: Ignition cylinder stuck? Key broke off in there? We fix that stuff.
- Broken Key Extraction: Key snapped in half? In the door or ignition? Happens more than you’d think.
- Spare Key Creation: Cut and program new keys right there.
Done lockouts everywhere around here. Parking garages by TD Garden, Prudential Center, random side streets in Allston at 3am when the bars close. All over.

FAQ
COMMON LOCKSMITH QUESTIONS ANSWERED
How much does a locksmith cost in Boston?
Home lockouts are like $85-$150 depending on your lock and what time you call. Rekeying’s $20-$30 per lock. New locks are $100-$250 based on what you want. We tell you the exact price before starting.
How fast can you get here?
30-45 minutes usually. Sometimes faster if we’re close. Emergencies get bumped to the front.
Do you damage doors during lockouts?
Basically never. Got professional tools to open doors without breaking stuff. Only time we’d drill or force something is if there’s no other option, and we’d ask you first.
Should I rekey or replace?
Locks work fine? Just rekey. Way cheaper. Locks falling apart or you want better security? Replace. We’ll look at what you got and tell you honest.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yeah. Massachusetts licensing, liability insurance, all that. Can show you papers if you want proof.
Can you handle smart locks?
Yep. August, Yale, Schlage, Kwikset, all of them. Those things are awesome until they’re not. Usually we can figure out what’s wrong pretty fast.
Do you work with businesses?
For sure. Lots of commercial jobs. Master key setups, access control, high-security stuff. Some places have us on regular maintenance schedules.
