Sherman Lock & Safe

Needed 5 locked re-​keyed in a pinch after closing on our condo. They were able to get all 5 done in an hour and price was very reasonable.

Have been here to make keys every now and then. Always friendly and reasonable.
Today I thought I needed more copies. They were so nice helping me go through baggies of miscellaneous keys to finally figure out I had two complete sets. There was nothing in it for them. Thank you for helping and yes this is the only place I’ll go to from now on.
PS. Home Depot was out of the blanks I needed and wouldn’t take my key off the ring to copy it but these guys were happy to

I went there to get some keys made today for 2003 Kia. This is one of the few places around that stocks the keys. They did an excellent job duplicating the key, and the person who helped me was really enjoyable to work. I’ve had problem in the past getting old keys duplicated at hardware stores, so I felt much better here getting done by a real pro. Highly recommended.

They’ve gone above and beyond for me a handful of times over the last ten years. They know ancient house door locks like no one else around and carry a very large line of blanks for house and cars. They are generous with their knowledge and happy to help even if it’s giving you free advice and instructions.
One of the best businesses of any type.

True to form: this place is incredibly cheap and very friendly. They have some ancient old safes in the store as well as knobs, doorhandles, and other metal hardware, too.
They try not to run credit cards for purchases under $ 10, and I copied a key for $ 2,25, so try to bring cash if you have it.

Helpful, friendly and customer-​oriented. Had a key break off in a desk lock. They removed the broken key for a very reasonable price. Highest recommendation.

The saved the day for me at 5:30 on a Friday night. The lock to the front door of my office froze and would not turned. I called them hoping they were still there and even though they were trying to finish up and go home for the weekend, they came down and fixed my issue. Great customer service and very reasonable prices too! If you every need a key made or a lock changed, these are the guys to see! Highly recommended.

Just moved to the area and have so much on the to-​do list. This was one of the fastest services I’ve had done yet. Mere minutes until I had a 2^nd set of keys (x3) made and at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend!

This is a fantastic locksmith. They are friendly, knowledgable, reasonable and hard working. It’s a family business and they treat everyone like family. I have used many different places and this is the best. Completely trustworthy family staff – very nice people who just work hard to help you out.

Sherman lock is awesome. A couple hardware stores made me duplicates that were total junk. Not only did these guys get it right the first time, but just in case their key didn’t work, they told me to come back with the lock and they would keep trying until they got it right. I’ve come back several times since and received fast service for a really low price. Highly recommended.

Great service very fast service

Bottom line, two of the four keys I had made there didn’t work. It’s not convenient for me to find a place to park in downtown Waltham so I will won’t bother going back to get the keys «fixed». The prices were really good, $ 10 for four keys and were made within minutes while I played mahjong on my iPad.

I had some random keys that the my local ace hardware store couldn’t duplicate. Sherman took care of them while I waited for a very reasonable price.
You can’t beat a local, fast, fairly priced business.

Friendly. Knowledgeable. Fairly priced. = Awesome.

You can’t go wrong with this local, family run business.
I called them up because I needed my locks changed and was easily able to schedule an appt for the next day. The woman that answered the phone was pleasant and cheerful as she took my information. The next day, I received a call letting me the locksmith was on his way. He changed out all 3 locks and made me five new keys in about 20 minutes. All the keys worked in all the locks unlike some of my other keys made at other places (I’m looking at you Ace Hardware). The prices seemed very reasonable to me and it was a snap to pay with a credit card.
Love them. Hopefully, I won’t have to call them back because I locked myself out taking out the garbage.

They have a very friendly staff and extremely reasonable pricing compared to other places (mostly hardware stores) that I went to. I’ve had keys copied there that always work (unlike some other places that I have tried). I have also bought a magnetic hide a key (for the car) and lock box (for tenants) on their recommendation and they have both been very handy. If I need a locksmith in the future for any reason, I will definitely be calling them.

I recently bought a motorcycle with which I received only one key. I went to Home Depot to make copies, and they informed me that they don’t make copies of motorcycle keys because the cartridge won’t fit into their key cutting machine. I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant, but one of the workers recommended Sherman’s.
So, I went to Sherman’s and was surprised how quickly and cheap they made copies. Two keys in under 10 min for $ 8.50. He also helped to grind away a slight protrusion and took the time to show and explain to me the reason behind the grinding. Very friendly staff.
I was extremely satisfied and would highly recommend.

Recommended by my real estate (buyer’s) agent to rekey my house. Arrived right on time. Did the work promptly and efficiently at the price quoted over the phone and did a few freebies (adjusting and filing strike plates). Would definitely use again.

I had a car with only one remaining key and figured I’d better get some backup copies. However, my original key was so worn out that I often had to jiggle the key in and out before I could get it to turn the lock cylinder. Would the locksmiths be able to make a copy that would work? No problem! The guys at Sherman Lock & Safe used some fancy machine that allowed them to dial in what they believed to be the original depths of the key’s notches, and after a few attempts to get it just right. .. success! I now have a key that works like new, and I no longer have to wonder if I’ll be able to start my car in the morning! No more Home Depot for me… when I need a key, I’ll go to this place, where they have all the right tools and many years of experience.

The guys at Sherman lock are helpful and funny, with reasonable prices. And of course trustworthy. Highly recommended.
