I had Brookline locksmith install two Medeco locks in my condo three years ago. I've never had a lock come loose and basically disassemble, Medeco or otherwise. When the guy came, he didn't align the bolt well with the receptacle in the door frame (sorry, I don't know the correct lock terminology). So it was never quite right. I should have followed up on it then, I know. But the lock worked. Until now -- because it has fallen apart. Brookline locksmith didn't handle my being upset well when I called them, which if you ask me, is basic customer service. Not everyone is going to be happy with you and your work. And they CHARGE WAY TOO MUCH! I found another local locksmith, well rated on Yelp, to repair the lock. I would not use Brookline locksmith again -- except, I suppose, to have keys made (if I lived in Brookline). read more

Brookline Lock Company solved the problem of installing a lock on my very old, odd-sized door. The price was reasonable and they went out of their way to find a solution that would be affordable. Marshall did the design and estimate and Sergey did the installation. Sergey did an excellent job of installing the lock itself, not easy because the door was in poor condition. Then he took extra time to work on the edges of the door, the hinges and weatherstripping so that the door closes properly. A lot of skill, he is a master. Thank you, Brookline Lock read more

Prompt, courteous and professional in every aspect. Sergey came to my home to repair and replace three locks and provide new keys. He was efficient, provided information about the mechanism of the locks and provided safety tips for improving security in my home. They are now MY LOCK COMPANY! read more

One of their owners/technicians asked to block the driveway to my (small, fledgling) business. I politely said no and suggested other places he could park. He completed his work at a neighboring business, then came into mine. He told me he was very interested in replacing his old ________ asked me about five minutes' worth of questions about one of the lower-priced items we sell. Asked the price. I told him. He said "nah". I asked him to make me an offer. He said "not interested", smirked, and walked out. Apparently the appropriate response to nit getting your way is wasting other business owners' time. Cool. read more

Just almost got run off the road by one of their vans. Had a baby in back, was driving like a normal human. They clearly hire loose cannon ppl of low intelligence. Use Someone else. read more

I would discourage anyone from using the services of this locksmith. We had reason to contact the owner, who was rude, patronizing, and dismissive of our concerns. He did not follow through on promised return phone calls. Customer service is clearly not a priority here. There are other area lock companies. I'd go there! read more

I've gone here almost weekly for 3.5 years to get keys copied for my work. The service was always very no frills, but I don't mind that. What I did mind was coming in one evening at 4:55 (checked my phone clock) and being screamed at by the owner before I said a word that I was too late, they were closed and they couldn't help me. I've since taken my business around the corner to the hardware store on Washington Street and am much happier. read more

TOTAL RIP OFF!!!!! Replaced 2 locks and charged $400 in labor. Was quoted $185 per lock and got charged $205. When I had the service tech call to verify the cost I was told if I wasn't ordering additional locks that the price would not be adjusted. When I called the office and spoke with Marshall he said there are two sides to every story. Stay away from these crooked creeps. read more

I have nothing but high praise and appreciation for the excellent service and workmanship shown by the technician, Eusebio, from Brookline Lock. Co. who fixed a broken lock and door catch mechanism on the main entry/exit to my home! Thank you so much for your prompt, courteous and expert service. I have used Brookline Lock services for the almost forty years of living in my home and have never been disappointed. I recommend them without reservation. read more

I went there to get keys copied and came out with so much more. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, the store well stocked and well organized, and the prices are fair. I found this store to be much more helpful and have more actual hardware items than any of the True Values that I have been to in the city. I will be going here for all of my future hardware purchases. read more

I was in Boston visiting my sister and we got locked out of her apartment! We called Brookline lock and they were there really fast. It was a very fair price and I would definitely recommend them to everyone. Thank you Brookline Lock !!! read more

I can't get anyone from Brookline Lock to come to my house! I live in the neighborhood and need to replace my front door set. I bought a brand new mortise set (from Raybern, not Brookline Lock). I walked into the shop last Thursday and was told "next Wednesday." Today is Tuesday. Since I had not heard back, I called again to make an appointment. Today Marshall said "next Tuesday." It's getting ridiculous. He said they are very busy installing locks in buildings that are being flipped. That's fine, but how about servicing the local people in this neighborhood? Not enough dough in it? Maybe it's because I didn't buy the Baldwin set from them in the first place. Glad I spent the money at Raybern -- THEY were incredible helpful unlike Brookline Lock Co. read more

I expend 40 seconds to make a copy of my key and I expend too little more than a couple of dollars after taxes. Perfect and professional service. read more

These people are fantastic! They are completely responsive, highly competent, and really know their business. I had an emergency situation (a break in at our home) which they handled right away, with professionalism, and at a very reasonable price. I cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

I would not recommend them. There is a bunch of one-star reviews and I totally agree with them. My opinion is that some of those 5-star reviews are questionable. Their total rating even with that is still only a 3.1 which is 60%, that's a "D" in my opinion!. They were supposed to come this morning within a 1-hour time frame. They did not show. After calling them, they said they would get back to me in a few minutes. Never happened! Had to call them again, but still they couldn't give me a straightforward answer. On top of that, I had this feeling that my time didn't matter! The locksmith showed up an additional hour late and got the job done in short order. Luckily it was a very simple job. It's hard giving a negative review because it could affect a company's business, but it seemed to me that they (management/customer service) couldn't care less. read more

I bought all new locks and deadbolts for my house and they started to fail. When I went back to get parts they ignored my request to have Marshall call me. Basically they are selling inferior products for top dollar and then they do not stand behind them. read more

You will never have to worry about secure locks (and security doors) with this company! Excellent workmanship, committed service personnel and a man in charge who truly knows all about his craft. The best locksmith, security door installation, I've ever encountered. With this company, I never had to worry about the quality of work, the scope of work, the guarantee of the locks and the company's ability to satisfy my security needs . Because they were always available to assist my ever-changing security requirements, my work came within budget and of the highest quality. I couldn't believe what a huge added-value this company gave my property's curb appeal. I highly recommend them and if you ever have the great fortune to use their services, you will never be satisfied with any other locksmith.
