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.

Excellent service. He arrived on time and did a great job on re-keying some older door locks. Very professional and personable. I would HIGHLY recommend him for any type of lock work one would need. I have used other locksmiths in the past, but Bonded Lock has been the best. I will definitely use him for any future needs.

Service was done by someone other than the owner and went as expected, except that within ~2 weeks one of the doorhandles became wobbly in a way that made clear it was not put back together appropriately (loose, but no obvious way to tighten). When we reached out to have them come back and finish/correct the job, the owner didn't have a record of us and said he thought we might have been victims of "gypsy-locksmiths" who claim to be working for his company. I had paid by check, so once I found a copy of the invoice and cancelled check, he eventually sent someone out to finish/correct the job.
Description of Work: Needed locks changed, ie new cylinders so that old keys would no longer work.

Gordon was extremely responsive. I emailed first, late at night, and he wrote back 2 minutes later (I saw this the next morning); I was already impressed. Then he phoned the next morning without my having to phone him. We made an appointment for that afternoon. Gordon phoned me twice before the appointment, letting me know that he would be late, which I really appreciated. He kept in touch as if he knew my time was valuable. Gordon is very friendly and very genuine. The work was done quickly, and Gordon even gave me an extra key over and above what I asked for, at no extra charge. It was like a little extra "gift". He charged me what he quoted over the phone. He said he'd honor the Angie's List coupon without my having to print it out. Besides all this, Gordon and I had some really pleasant conversation throughout his visit. He also explained some other security measures I could take, all of which I'd never thought of before. He was just being altruistic -- he had no financial interest in these other recommendations. We also have his stickers on our doors now; he explained how he could cut us new keys in an emergency and otherwise help us if we're ever locked out. Thank you Gordon!

Gordon spent a lot of time working on our locks, including one that was exceptionally difficult, and didn't charge me any extra for the additional effort. He was prompt and polite, and the rate he charged seemed very fair to me.

Well, I hired Gordon after reading all the superlative reviews of his work and was not disappointed. Gordon scheduled an appointment for July 15, 2016 and was here on time and ready to work. He knew exactly what was the issue and fixed the lock (thought I may need a new lock a old door) but that was not he case. Gordon was thorough, professional and just the real deal. Very happy with his work and will hire again because of his work ethics and pricing - very happy with Bonded Lock Service.

Very positive experience-- talked on phone one evening and had service the following morning. Provided an intelligent and honest overview of the different options for locks in light of my security worries, and would have likely talked me out of purchasing anything new had I not been set on getting at least one deadbolt!

Can't say enough good things about Gordon. He gave me a general price range over the phone, showed up when he said he would, charged a very reasonable price, and performed the work well. He was also a pleasure to speak with and provided some other general tips about securing our condo.

Extremely professional, very reasonable rates, most highly skilled and knowledgeable locksmith I have met. A+++ work!!
Description of Work: Replaced 4 old worn deadbolt locks in antique home with highest quality new deadbolt locks, rekeyed with 1 key for all. Also replaced lock with same key in front antique mahogany door using original antique bronze lock. We had had other locksmiths try to update and fix this front door lock before but none were able to since it is antique and the parts are no longer available. Also no one seems to have this expertise. Gordon did. Gordon is exceptionally patient and extremely knowledgeable, and was able to fix this lock when I had given up on it long ago (as other locksmiths told me to). As a result, we only needed to fix existing lock and did not have to install another deadbolt on door, which would change the original appearance of door. Gordon worked very hard to get the job done on time, even when it took much longer than he anticipated, since it is an antique home and things never go as expected in an antique home. His prices were extremely reasonable given the large job. Gordon took a lot of pride in his work, and it shows. Extremely professional, most skilled and knowledgeable locksmith I have ever met (and this is our 3rd antique home so we have met several in area!).

Thank you for the review [Removed Member Name] , I meant to ask you the name of your band. Do you play at any venue(s) in the area. I definitely go to enjoy some great music while working. For those fans of "rockabilly and swing" a great take ! GS

Locksmith missed first appointment, but rescheduled for the following day (a Sunday). The locksmith was prompt on the second day, and did a good job. The price tag was a bit surprising, but I understand that replacing a deadbolt can be expensive.

He responded promptly to my initial call. Came and surveyed the situation and did a temporary fix, as he had to order the model we wanted. When it came in, he called to tell me the price, then we set a time for him to finish the job. Both visits were on time, he was very professional, took care to do the job right, and suggested he key the lock so that we could use only one key for both front and back.

They did a great job. Good communication from the owner. Quick response.The owner originally intended to come himself but rather than than keep mewaiting all afternoon and disappointing me, he sent a highly experiencesemployee. The person (Bob) who did the work was very skilled. His englishwas not polished but he actually communicated well regarding the workneeded, the options and costs. He completed the work on the same day we(you) contacted them working nonstop into the early evening. It was atricky job ? very old, metal clad door, that was itself out of alignment andloose at all connections. Bob pointed out all the problems and explainedwhat the limits of his actions would be. He replaced all the (ancient) lockhardware and installed cylinders which now use the same key. Bob explainedthat though he has been in the US, and working for Bonded Lock Service forabout 30 years - prior to that he lived in Taipei, Taiwan where he was awell respected (famous?) watch and clock repairman. I believe it. The doorand hardware now work with precision. I was a little surprised by the price- $845 ? but when one takes under consideration the same day response, thecomplexity of the job, the quality of hardware, craftsman skill level, andthe final results - I think we got great value for the price.
Description of Work: front door is stuck shut. The front lock is locked and jammed, so they can't get the door open at all. Customer believes that the whole locking mechanism may need to be replaced. It's a front door to an apartment.
