Department

Licensed locksmiths serving the South Shore

Locksmiths handle residential lockouts, rekeying after a home purchase, deadbolt and smart-lock installation, and safe work. Massachusetts does not currently require a state-issued locksmith license, so business registration, insurance, and public review data are the primary signals to verify.

Typical project size
$150-$1,500
Higher end of the range
$100-$900

Massachusetts licensing
Not state-licensed. Check business registration and insurance directly with the contractor.
Before you hire
Get written quotes from three contractors. On any residential job over $1,000, Massachusetts law requires a written contract with the contractor’s HIC registration number.
