It goes without saying that a locksmith company would face a range of repairs for a range of locations and items. Many of the times that we receive a call for lock and key repairs, these items are either ones that are newer but cheap quality, or they are older units that have had their share of wear and tear over the years.

Sometimes we need to step away from the daily key duplication or car lock-outs and repair other items in need of assistance.

While we may often be focusing on the locks and keys on your current doors, we actually install them too!

We've helped so many customers re-enter their vehicles after misplacing their keys, but we've also gone a step ahead by creating spares for those who need a backup handy. If you are like so many of us out there that spend an annoying amount of time retracing your steps and trying to remember where you last placed your car key....

When it comes to lock and key services, homes and vehicles tend to be the first things to come to mind.  These are certainly the fields in which we work often, but there are many other areas of importance that require locksmith efforts as well!

Do you have locks like these protecting you, your family, or your business?

At Brown's Lock Shop, we are often overwhelmed when reflecting on all of the wonderful and talented people we meet.  Just recently in Berkshire County, we were at a personal toy Museum. What a wonderful and impressive collection!  Last week, we were standing among local, master jewelry makers who created stunning pieces of gold, silver, and platinum.  How humbling it can be when you have been a welder and a metal fabricator for 40 years.

Crazy warm temperatures are on their way to us, and we can't help but remember that Spring is ahead and will (hopefully) be here before we know it!

Brown's Lock Shop promises to always tend to your door, lock & key needs in a fast, timely manner. We know the stress that can come from losing keys, especially when it means you are locked out of your house (and ESPECIALLY during these cold winter days!).
