Why Hollis Homeowners Choose Strongbox Lock & Safe Co.
We’ve been serving southern New Hampshire communities for over 42 years, and Hollis has been part of our route since 2013. In that time, we’ve rekeyed farmhouses after estate sales on Broad Street, installed deadbolts on new construction off Route 122, and opened more frozen antique mortise locks than we can count. The homeowners who call us tend to be the ones who’ve already met a locksmith who quoted $19 on the phone and billed $400 at the door. They don’t want to roll those dice again.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry company ID. They quote the full price on the phone - no “service fee” that triples, no parts markup surprises. Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, we come back. No paperwork to file, no argument to have.
We answer calls live, 24 hours a day, including holidays. No voicemail trees. No callback queues. The person you talk to can dispatch a technician directly and tell you exactly what you’ll pay.
Two parts of town we know especially well: the historic center near the Hollis Social Library, where 18th-century homes need careful hardware preservation, and the newer estates off Coburn Hill Road, where homeowners often want high-security retrofits on outbuildings set far back from the street.

Why Hollis’s Climate & Housing Affect Locksmith Work
Hollis presents a locksmithing environment you won’t find in neighboring Nashua or Milford. The town’s deliberate rural character means most properties sit on multi-acre lots with multiple structures - main house, barn, garage, equipment shed - each with its own locks and its own exposure to the elements. Southern New Hampshire’s hard freeze winters drive moisture past the imperfect weatherstripping common on 200-year-old farmhouse doors, freezing deadbolt cylinders and mortise cases solid. When spring thaw arrives, those same heavy timber frames swell and shift, causing bolts to bind and strike plates to misalign. We see the pattern every year: a wave of frozen-lock calls in January, then binding-door calls in March and April.
The hardware itself is equally distinctive. Hollis has one of the highest concentrations of surviving 18th- and 19th-century New England farmhouses in the region, many still equipped with original or early-replacement mortise locksets, iron rim locks, and skeleton-key cylinders. A technician trained only on modern Kwikset and Schlage deadbolts will struggle here. We carry the picks, blanks, and replacement parts for antique hardware, and we know when a piece should be preserved versus replaced. At the same property, that same technician may need to spec a Medeco high-security cylinder for a new wine cellar door or a Yale smart lock for a home office. This combination of historic preservation and upscale security upgrade - often on the same property, sometimes in the same hour - is what makes Hollis locksmithing genuinely specialized work.
There’s also the security psychology of the place. Because Hollis’s low-density layout means Hillsborough County Sheriff response times run longer than in denser towns, and because many residents commute to Boston or Manchester leaving properties empty for ten-plus hours, physical security investment here is unusually high. Rekeying after contractor work, deadbolt upgrades on secondary doors, and outbuilding locks are standard maintenance, not afterthoughts.

Yes - we regularly service mortise locksets, iron rim locks, and skeleton-key cylinders in Hollis’s historic homes, and we carry the specialized picks and replacement parts these mechanisms require.

Rekeying is usually the better value if your locks are in good condition and you simply need old keys to stop working - after buying a home, finishing contractor work, or losing a key. Replacement makes sense when hardware is worn, damaged, or doesn’t meet your security needs. We’ll assess your situation honestly and quote both options if you want to compare.

Yes - we install and service the full range, including Yale smart locks and Medeco high-security cylinders. Many Hollis homeowners want modern access control for a home office or secondary entrance while preserving antique hardware on the main facade. We do both, and we’ll recommend the right product for each door rather than sell you what’s on the truck.
