Nice people there

The developer of my condo building in Lynn used them for all of our locks. My only complaint is that I must drive all the way from Lynn just to get extra copies because no other place seems to be able to duplicate them. I guess my developer wasn't thinking either about geography, traffic or their buyer's convenience!

Pluses and minuses

In some ways it might be good for your keys to be hard to duplicate. It might make it a little harder to rob you.

I agree with that

I just wish they chose a locksmith that was easier to get to!

I also wish that for the one time I drove there to get copies, all the copies worked. I wasn't about to drive all the way back for new copies.

I'm not lazy about going to that side of town for seeing friends or going to restaurants at night. I hate going there during daytime traffic and having to wait until I'm off from work to even do that.

This place has been an icon

This place has been an icon in West Roxbury since I was a kid and I'm pretty old now. :))

I like old locksmithing places like these. There's a good one in Quincy called "Quincy Lock" in the Wollaston section.

For Dedham, too

As far as I know, everyone here in Dedham uses them also.
