About us

As a member of the Massachusetts Locksmith Association (MLA) for 25 years I went from being the Marketing and Promotional seat to being elected President two years ago. I take this honor very deeply and lead with respect for all of our members and our business associates. I've been the proud recipient of the "Angie's List Super Service Award" every year consecutively since 2003! The first job I ever had was in my uncle's variety store in the nineteen sixties. My uncle's taught me to treat each customer as family and as I would want my family members treated. I carry this forward today as I try to make recommendations to my customers with only their needs and safety in mind. I founded Bonded Lock Service in 1992 as a single father, raising my 6-year-old daughter. After working for MIT Lincoln Lab for twelve years as a Metallurgical/Electro-Optical Technician. As a technician there I was also a union steward for numerous other technicians in my building . I learned my trade from another locksmith as an apprentice, and worked for him (unpaid) for nine months, 5 days a week to learn the trade. Besides that I have a Certificate in Locksmithing from the "Locksmithing Institute of America" and several others earned over the years via Mass Locksmith Association/Yankee Security. I also hold a "Home Improvement Contractors License" with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Presently Public Relations/ Marketing Chairman of Massachusetts Locksmith Association Besides me I have one "part-timer" Fred, who is a former Chelsea MA police officer and 2 other sub contractors. Bonded Lock Service became incorporated in the state of Massachusetts in 2002. While we've done jobs up into New Hampshire, west to Wachusett and down to the Cape Cod Canal. Today, I'm the grandfather of two beautiful children, a boy and a girl.

I just closed on a house and needed to find someone quickly to re-key all of the locks. Gordon came out the following day. He not only did the work on the locks, but he also helped put the A/C unit in my window. He was a pleasure to do business with! He also reminded me of the 10% off for being an Angie's List client.

I have used Gordon twice. The first time he sent his associate out immediately to put a lock on my garage door and the second time he came himself to re-key about ten locks on our new house. Both times he was extremely punctual, neat and friendly. He also reminded me that I was suppose to get an Angie's List discount.

It went very well. The man, who I believe was the company owner, came right on time, and also had the courtesy to call when he was leaving his previous job. He was very courteous and performed the work in a timely fashion. He also did not overcharge me and, in fact, gave me a slight discount for finding him on Angie's List.

I called on Friday July 13th and was given an appointment time of Saturday July 14th from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm (which was fine for me). The price for the work was explained and cost was estimated. It was reasonable. Mr. Silva phoned Saturday at 12:20 pm to tell me he would be there between 1:30 pm and 2:00 pm so that I won't be waiting around the entire time. (Amazing!) He arrived at 1:45 pm and promptly went to work. The front and back door locks were re-keyed with new cylinders. Mr. Silva suggested having the same key for both doors which had different keys. He carefully examined both doors and found that the knob handled had been installed backward (long ago by my ex-husband). He re-tightened several screws in one door knob and hinge that were slightly loose. He even lightly planed the edge of one door to so that it opened without sticking. He was polite, courteous, pleasant, and a true professional. He charged a fair (modest) price for his services.

It went great. Suggestions were made on how to set up different usage scenarios and Gordon went looking through to help us find a mailbox replacement core as well. The added benefit of using the service also is if we are ever locked out they know what type of key we have and can get us into our house. That extra sanity added is a good thing.

Work was excellent, using high quality materials. Gordon came out and did an estimate, and was able to schedule the work within the next week. The final price was a bit more than the estimate, but that was mostly due to issues with old doors, etc. We were pleased with the work. He was efficient and cleaned up afterward. He went above and beyond the description in the estimate, for example, he refastened the closing spring on our screen door. My only issues were that Gordon was late for the appointment (but he did call) and that we needed to remind him of things a couple of times.
Description of Work: Installed lock and hardware (plates and knob) on the main entrance to our building, and installed new locks and hardware on the front and back doors of our unit, provided mason keying for front entrance and made new sets of keys.

This was the only locksmith in my area that would allow me to buy the hardware and pay them to only put it in. Other businesses gave me a hard time and I did not like that at all. I was happy to experience the flexibility and goodness of this fine company and I would happily use their services again in the future.

The were very quick and knowledgeable. They had designed a plan that in the long run would save me lots of money. There was a crew of 4 people doing the installation. I was very pleased with the professional people they have working for them. They also provided me with as many keys as I wanted, which was not something that we had discussed during the estimate.
Description of Work: We hired them to install 18 new locks that were designed with non copyable keys. They also installed new locks on the front and back doors for security purposes. The work was done on several units in one of our rental properties.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON JOB. THERE WAS SOME MINOR CARPENTRY THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO THE DOOR FRAME, AND A COUPLE OTHER WRINKLES THAT NEEDED ATTENTION. KNOWING THAT NEW HOMEOWNERS GET SURPRISES IN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS, I TRY TO STICK TO AN ORIGINAL ESTIMATE IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. SHE WAS VERY RECEPTIVE TO IDEAS OFFERED AND PATIENT DURING THE JOB SINCE IT DID TAKE WAY LONGER THAN EXPECTED (SOMETIMES I GET SURPRISES TOO) LOL! THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO THAT CLASSIC HOUSE IS HER.

Excellent. Gordon himself came on time two days after I called, checked all the locks, and offered easy/cheap and expensive/complicated options for the deadbolts (picking and/or replacing vs. the "poor man's" solution of breaking off a key inside the lock to prevent burglars from picking them). He didn't pressure me at all, worked quickly, and factored the Angie's List discount into the price without my asking. Very nice guy, very reasonable, would call him again.
Description of Work: Gordon re-keyed two locks (front and back door) and purposely jammed three deadbolts for me.

I'M ALWAYS WILLING TO SAVE A CUSTOMER SOME MONEY--IF IT IS LEGAL, AND DOESN'T ENDANGER THEM IN ANY WAY. AS WITH EVERY CUSTOMER THAT I'VE MET VIA ANGIE'S LIST, MR. SAKS LISTENED CAREFULLY TO VARIOUS OPTIONS THAT I GAVE HIM AND MADE THE SMART DECISIONS. A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH!

Very well. They came over after work to provide a written estimate (very detailed). Then I was able to schedule the service within one week. They arrived when they said they would. They were very clean and very courteous. The work cost what they said it would cost.
Description of Work: For a 2 family home, added locks (including drilling the holes) and deadbolts to 2 new doors and then changed locks on other 4 doors so that each apartment (3 doors each) had only one key to unlock all doors in each apartment. Before there was a different key for each lock!

Service and quality of work were excellent. Besides selling me a good-quality lock that fit my needs (both for convenience and security), they showed up on time (even calling me at my office to let me know to come home and meet them there, no waiting!) They were both pleasant and professional, with excellent ideas for improving the security features of my house (most of them not having to do with locksmithing, and therefore not a sales pitch). Also, he offered me his Angie's List discount of 10 percent without my having to ask (once he found out I got his name from the List). A pleasant and productive experience!
Description of Work: Gordon and his associate Jim replaced a locking deadbolt on my basement door. Gordon also provided five keys for the lock, which he custom-made on the spot.
