P & M Locksmith Service is a family-run locksmith business in Woburn, MA, and its website lists residential, commercial, industrial and automotive locksmith and security services. The Minghella family says it has provided locksmithing to the Greater Boston community for over 45 years. When a customer's most-used entry door handle failed on a Friday evening, Phil sent his son out on Saturday morning to put in a temporary one while he ordered an almost identical commercial-grade replacement; Phil came out on Tuesday and installed the new handle. A customer whose bathroom door got locked shut said Mark came to the house within 2 hours and carefully removed the locking mechanism from the doorknob. A customer who stopped in late on a Friday of a holiday weekend said the lock on a bike rack was opened in no time. On Reddit's r/ArlingtonMA, a commenter wrote of using P&M out of Woburn quite a few times and being very pleased. A 2025 customer said the company rekeyed a newly bought house the day the sale closed. A 2024 customer said a tech named Mark took a lock apart, cleaned it and made adjustments to a door that customer said had not closed properly in 3 years or more. A 2023 customer said P&M took an impression of screen door locks they brought in and made new keys. A 2022 customer said Phil installed a new ignition in their car, and that after the customer ordered an ignition switch online, Mark returned at the end of a job to install it. A 2021 customer said Mark swapped out their locks. A recent customer said the work was very expensive and that they were charged an additional service call fee they were not expecting, given the price originally quoted. A 2023 customer said the owner was extremely rude and kept aggressive dogs off leash in the yard and around the shop.
“I’ve used [P&M Locksmith](https://pmlockinc.com) out of Woburn quite a few times, been very pleased. They used to be closer to Arlignton, but had to move office space a number of years ago. Also, if you just want to get new keys, you can typically remove the cylinders and bring them to the shop rather than having someone visit. Saves time and money.”
The most-used entry door handle to my home failed on a Friday evening, and I called up Phil because I tried to repair it myself and only made it worse. He sent out his son on Saturday morning to replace it with a temporary one while he ordered an almost identical commercial-grade replacement. Phil came out on Tuesday and installed the new door handle, and my family couldn't be happier. Thank you, P & M Locksmith.
It was very expensive to make my house look nice, and they also charged an additional service call fee that I wasn’t expecting, especially considering the price I was originally quoted.
Excellent work. Stopped in late on a Friday of a holiday weekend because I misplaced the keys for a bike rack and the lock was opened like a pro in no time! Great local business!
The door to my Nana's bathroom got locked shut so we called P&M. Mark came to the house within 2 hours and he was able to carefully remove the locking mechanism from the doorknob. He knows how to service antique locks
They are busy for a reason!!! They know what they are doing !!! lots of fake locksmiths out there. Worth the wait I was doing non emergency repair.
