If you need a locksmith in the Boston metro area, look no further, P&M Locksmith Service is your best option. I own a dozen or so rental properties in the area and I only wish I had found P&M years ago. I called P&M on a Monday because the house I moved into had a bunch of weird locks on all of the exterior doors and the previous owners didn't leave us the right keys. P&M came that day, and Mark (the owner) came out a few hours later. It took him less than 30 minutes to provide me with a recommendation that was boat cost effective and security conscious. He didn't try to push me into some expensive unnecessary lock, but rather gave his opinion, and fully explained the pros and cons of the different options. I'm by no means a lock expert and probably asked a million questions. Mark was patient, never once trying to rush me, and once we agreed on a game plan he started working on the doors. There was one door that was even more complex than he initial thought, and on the fly he came up with a simple, yet elegant solution to solve the problem. While he was working he provided invaluable advice on how to improve my alarm system, and even recommended a safe that was cheaper and more effective then we initially thought. It started to get dark and he could have easily said that he would come back the next day, but didn't leave until all of the exterior doors were secure, so that "my family would be safe." I had originally wanted to put a "smart" lock on my front door that could be operated by my smart phone but he told me that the technology wasn't quite ready yet and in other homes he had seen a lot of problems with smart locks. He didn't push me, but explained the pros and cons, and it became clear that a number pad lock would be much better for my needs. That alone saved me $200 and a ton of future headaches. P&M is a family business, and I truly feel like part of the family! read more
