Brighton Lockshop

The lock to my apartment didn’t work/​my key didn’t work. I was fully ready to blow up the apartment building but I decided to check Unilocal for someone to come and save me and my groceries. I’m so happy I came across this company! I forget his exact name but a definite lifesaver.
Once he got the lock open, he noticed how crappy my lock was and replaced it; and it was clear he wouldn’t have felt comfortable leaving me with a lock in the state of disrepair that mine was obviously in. At one point a piece was missing and he went back to the shop to get the appropriate piece.
I’m so thankful to have a door that works now!
I can’t recommend this place enough. Super nice and timely and helpful.

I am a repeat customer at Brighton Lockshop. My mum had her keys stolen this time, so she needed to have her front door lock re-​keyed. She also wanted to replace an existing bedroom lock with a new deadbolt and install a new deadbolt in another room. I stopped by the shop and spoke to Sevil and Ishak about the job and received a more than reasonable quote which included a discount. We originally scheduled the work to be done on this coming Tuesday, but Ishak then said he could come by later that same day!
I met him at my mum’s house and he went right to work. He finished working on all three locks in no time. Ishak is a master at his craft and did another perfect job. He is efficient, personable, professional, and a very kind friendly person. Ishak is my go to guy. I highly recommend Brighton Lockshop.

Look no further if you need a locksmith! I needed a duplicate key for my Honda Cr-​v and I’m so glad I called this place. The owners (husband and wife team) are down-​to-​earth, super friendly, trustworthy AND they offer the best service and price. I spoke with Saville (spelling?) on the phone and she took my order in with urgency and was so kind and honest about everything. She kept me informed throughout the entire process from start to finish and was very hospitable. I can truly attest that the Unilocal reviews here are all on point! I highly, highly recommend this place! You will not be disappointed. Btw, they also sell other popular household items for a very reasonable price for a tiny shop so go support this small, local business!!!

They were so helpful! Not only did they stay for a few extra minutes at the end of the day when I got stuck in traffic on my way over but they also searched around trying everything to match my weird key to an appropriate duplicate — with success! So dedicated!

I just went here to have two car keys made for my Honda Civic. It cost me 50 dollars less than the competition. The owner was friendly and professional. I would recommend this place

Amazingly friendly service, incredibly helpful and hospitable. We had to wait for a repair to our ignition lock (after being turned away by other companies) and were offered coffee and treated like guests.
The owner’s persistence in getting us help and scheduling an appointment saved us considerable money. An excellent store all around.

Friendly and great service from a local business!
I called Brighton Lockshop to get help with a deadbolt I had lying around that was the wrong size for our new door. The owner asked me to call back with FaceTime to see the lock. After seeing it, he told me that he could fix the problem. I drove in, and he exchanged the ill-​fitting part for a proper-​sized one at no charge.
I’ll definitely be back to this neighborhood shop!

How can a business have so many reviews, most of which are 5-​star? No one has 80 friends willing to write fake reviews so it must be true. And it is! I don’t think I’ve seen such a wholesome «small business» attitude since my childhood! We struggled and struggled with getting keys made for a very old lock and these folks were able to do it — with patience, persistence, and a smile (and for a very modest price). We also brought in a couple of keys that we had made at Home Depot using the big box chain’s fancy computerized laser key machine — those keys never worked despite going back to get them remade by hand. These folks fixed Home Depot’s sloppy /​inaccurate work, again with a smile. They also have a pretty amazing array of this and that festooning the aisles and walls, up as far as you can reach and see. As far as I can tell, everything they sell is competitively priced and of good quality. I wish this lovely couple every success as they build their business.

Great service and excellent workmanship for a fair price. I will never call another locksmith.
Randi (customer for life)

Really pleased with the service, professionalism and availability. I locked myself out of the apartment at 7:15pm and managed to get a hold of my landlord at 9pm. He came out and we quickly learned that he didn’t have the key.
At 9:45pm, I called this locksmith and he was at the place at 10:15pm. It took him 10 minutes to pick the lock.
His price was also reasonable and he took credit cards via his mobile.
After a very annoying night, I am quite pleased. I absolutely recommend this locksmith.

Great place. In at 2:55 out at 2:56pm. Brought my own oem key. They will cut motorcycle keys. only $ 5.

I traveled quite the distance to get here just because of the positive Unilocal reviews and boy am I glad I did!
They’re truly 24 hours because I didn’t get over my jet lag and started calling super early… They called back right away and gave me a quote that’s at least 50% cheaper than anywhere else! (Funny fact, Sevil told me that their cat wakes them up when the phone rings… How adorable is that??)
They’re a super adorable couple who are hardworking and gave me then sense that they’ve supported each other through thick and thin… i had a serious #lifegoal moment when I was there lol
Alright enough cheesiness… it’s also worth mentioning that they’re so efficient and super fast with everything that I couldn’t get back on the bus because the time limit on my monthly pass hasn’t been up (and this is after I spent a good Amt of time at the fruit stand next door!)
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

«ISHAK» he is the one best guy i never saw before really awesome man. Yesterday i forgot my car keys in my car so i called to Brighton lock shop. A lady picked a call and i asked how much they will charge she told 70 $. I thought its really expensive but i don’t have an option at that time at last i told my address with in 10 min this good guy ISHAK came and solved that issue. Before taking money i just told him that please take 50 $ i am working i don’t have that much money he told ok and he charged 50 $. I was really happy with that and after starting my car he came to me again and he gave me 20 $ back. I really really felt happy by him. Frankly speaking i never seen such a nice guy till now. Thank you so much ISHAK you are the man. I really appreciate you.
Thank you.

Keys and alarm pad dropped inside car. Keys locked in, me locked out. Right outside my house as I left for Xmas shopping. Called four places ($ 20 and up arrival fee plus $ 50-​to-​infinity fee for unlocking) + AAA (join+initiation fee+same day svc: $ 108) + local garage + Subaru’s 800# ($ 75).
Then called Brighton Lockshop. Flat $ 50! There in 20 minutes! Unlocked car using specialized tools so no damage! Pleasant and professional to boot. Plus he will call me with the 411 on price and availability of a second set of keys and e-​pad.
So yes — 5 stars for professionalism, modern tools for the job, swiftness of arrival and service and for getting me the info to get the much-​needed 2^nd set of keys. Bonus points for driving a smart car.

Wow, best service I have had in a long time.
Long story short, one of the worst nights of my life, topped off in the morning with locking myself out.
Called around to several shops and no one could come by. I saw this place on Unilocal but it said «closed» past 6pm so I didn’t even think it was an option. Another locksmith I called gave me this cell number 617−254−0090 and on the other line was my savior. I feel like maybe the owners should change the time to ²⁴⁄₇ and then in the comments area say the store closes at 6pm… Because THESE FOLKS ARE ²⁴⁄₇. AMAZING.
Lock guru (I’m sorry i never caught his name) gives me a very fair quote over the phone and comes within 10 minutes. Fast service. Struggles with my lock which is old and difficult, using all kinds of tools in his kit to no avail. (When he took off his sweater and hat I knew he meant business!). He tells me he might have to drill into the lock, but that he is stubborn and will try some more and MAGIC… The lock opens. Heavens opened and the choir sung and I (maybe appropriately) hugged him.
PROS
−24÷7 service
–prompt
–fair prices
–Mr. lock guru was the sweetest man ever
–got the lob done without busting my difficult lock
CONS
–misleading Unilocal page! Almost lost out on this wonderful experience

these guys are locksmiths ninjas. extremely accommodating in terms of scheduling, arrive on time, and execute with flawless precision. They helped me out when I lost the mailbox key to my condo. They drilled it open, installed a new lock and gave me a new set of keys. it all happened so fast… i was really impressed.

I was an idiot and locked myself out of my apartment the other night. Never done it before, to be honest, but apparently my wife is an old hand at it. She sighed and immediately sought out a locksmith on Unilocal,these guys being the first to come up. They said half an hour, arrived in half an hour, had the lock picked in three minutes. My keys were right where i left them on the stove, and the cat was staring at me quite normally. The nice locksmith didn’t even want the cupcake we offered him. Extra points for being cool enough to drive a black Smart car like my old one.

Last week I moved my girlfriend to Brighton and she needed lots of things for her new place, conveniently there was a hardware store just up the street like 2 blocks. I liked this place for two reasons: The store could not have been larger than 500 sq ft but it was better stocked than many hardware places I’ve been to; secondly, the owners did not hesitate to help us, by the third day of going in the store we were on first name basis and they were helping us get around the city and giving us other great snippets of advice, their kindness and care was not overlooked. They were really inspiring, even in the face of Massachusetts’ ridiculous taxes Ha!
Thank you Isaac and Sevil for all your help.

Fast service. Changed five locks in an hour.
I asked for a quote ahead of time but he was driving so couldn’t give me one. He actually showed up at my house within a couple hours to do the work. I added three more locks to the original order and forgot to ask what the additional would be so I was a bit surprised at the $ 500 price. i havent had a lock changed in 20 years ($ 80 a lock back then) so a 20 increase per lock seems fair. My fault for not getting a quote for each job before he started so I could have managed the scope of work and my budget. He later explained the quality of the locks were commercial grade which would normally cost 3x as much. Feel like i got a good deal.
I had a crazy neighbor who had a set of my house keys so I needed to change the locks fast. Cant put a price on safety. Great service, fast, great quality, and really nice guys.

I am a real estate agent in the Brighton area and have been making keys through one particular locksmith in the area since I began because my company uses him. Frankly, he is a complete and utter jerk. If you work in the area, you probably know who I’m talking about. Because of this I branched out and found Brighton Lockshop.
The owners here are the nicest people. They are generous, thoughtful, sincere and just all around a pleasure to deal with. I will never go anywhere else to have keys made again. I look forward to going in here, they make an errand I used to abhor having to run an enjoyable experience.
They’re the best by far and everyone needs to know it! Their customer service and always friendly demeanor has gained them the lockbox code to access the key to my heart forever.
