Call (877) 664-8139

We’re Strongbox Lock & Safe Co., and we’ve been serving Norfolk County homeowners for over 42 years. Medway sits off the major highway corridors - no Route 495 or I-95 exit - so when you’re standing outside your door at 10 PM, response time from a Boston or Providence dispatch center can stretch past an hour. Our technicians live and work in this area. We know the difference between a pre-1920 cape on Main Street with original mortise hardware and a 1995 subdivision home on Route 109 with hollow-core doors and builder-grade locks. That local knowledge means we bring the right parts, quote a flat price before the truck rolls, and get your lock working without callbacks.

Our Residential Locksmith Services in Medway

Lock Rekey

Rekeying is our most common call in Medway, and for good reason. As the original owners of those 1985-2005 subdivision homes sell and new families move in, we see a constant stream of rekey requests from Village Street, Holliston Street, and the neighborhoods off Route 109. Many of these homes were built with keyed-alike locks - one key opens the front door, side door, and garage. That’s convenient until you realize the previous owner’s contractor, realtor, and neighbors might still have copies.

A full rekey in Medway runs $89-$150 for a standard home with 3-4 doors. We rekey to a new combination, test every cylinder, and hand you the only working keys. Done right - and backed in writing.

Deadbolt Installation

Medway’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on exterior hardware. We’ve replaced deadbolts on Main Street capes where wooden door frames swelled so severely the bolt wouldn’t retract, and on Holliston Street subdivision homes where original Grade 3 deadbolts simply wore out after 25 years of use.

We install Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts from Baldwin, Medeco, and Yale - hardware that holds up to Massachusetts weather and actual break-in attempts. A standard deadbolt installation in Medway costs $140-$220, including the lock. We adjust strike plates for seasonal swelling and make sure the bolt throws fully into the frame. No shortcuts.

Door Reinforcement

The subdivision homes that define Medway’s residential base were built with hollow-core entry doors and Grade 3 Kwikset locks - the minimum code allowed. That’s a security liability we flag on nearly every service call. A determined intruder can kick through that combination in seconds.

We reinforce the door jamb with steel strike plates, add door frame armor, and upgrade to solid hardware. Door reinforcement in Medway typically runs $180-$340 depending on the number of entry points. For homeowners who plan to stay in their house another twenty years, this is the upgrade that matters.

Residential Lockout

Lockouts happen. Keys left on the kitchen counter. A door that auto-locks behind you while you’re grabbing the mail. In Medway, where winter temperatures can drop below 10°F and swing above freezing within days, we also see lockouts caused by iced cylinders and swollen frames that prevent the key from turning.

Our lockout response in Medway averages 25-40 minutes because we’re local, not dispatched from Providence or Boston. Lockout service runs $89-$150 during standard hours. We open the door without damage, and if the lock is damaged from freeze-thaw cycling, we can replace it on the spot.

Trusted Brands We Service in Medway

We stock and install the full range of premium security hardware - Schlage, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy, Baldwin, Yale, Kwikset, and Sargent - so the right lock goes on the right door, not just what’s on the truck. For Medway’s older homes near the town center, that might mean a Baldwin mortise lockset that matches the home’s character. For the subdivision homes on Village Street, it often means upgrading from original Kwikset Grade 3 hardware to a Yale or Medeco deadbolt that actually resists forced entry. We carry common Medway configurations in stock, so most jobs finish in one visit.

Common Residential Locksmith Problems We See in Medway Homes

• Freeze-thaw deadbolt binding. Medway’s inland position means full exposure to Massachusetts temperature swings. Wooden door frames in older cape and colonial homes swell seasonally, binding deadbolts against strike plates. We adjust or replace strikes to account for this movement.
• Seized cylinders in original subdivision hardware. The builder-grade Schlage and Kwikset entry sets installed in Medway’s 1985-2005 subdivisions are now 20-40 years old. On Holliston Street, we visited a 1990s home where the original Schlage deadbolt had a seized cylinder from freeze-thaw cycling. We replaced it with a Grade 1 Baldwin deadbolt and added a Wi-Fi-enabled garage door opener, upgrading security and convenience in one visit.
• Inherited keyed-alike locks from previous owners. Families moving into Medway’s subdivisions often inherit locks that share the same key code as neighboring homes built by the same developer. A full rekey is essential.
• Smart-lock battery failure in cold snaps. Exterior keypad and smart-lock batteries drain faster in Medway’s temperature swings than homeowners expect. We recommend hardwired options or annual battery replacement schedules.
