When you're standing outside your home in Oakdale at 10 PM because your key just broke off in the lock, or you're rushing to open your East Dedham business and can't find your keys, you need a locksmith who actually knows Dedham and can get to you fast. That's exactly what Astro Locks has been doing for Dedham residents and business owners since 2003 - showing up quickly, solving the problem right, and treating every lock like it protects something that matters.
We're not some faceless national chain with technicians who barely know the difference between Greenlodge and The Manor. We're your neighbors, serving every corner of Dedham from the historic homes near the Fairbanks House to the modern condos around Legacy Place. Whether you need emergency help at 3 AM or want to upgrade your business security on Providence Highway, we've got you covered.
Complete Locksmith Services for Every Dedham Neighborhood
Dedham isn't just one type of community—it's families in Riverdale, young professionals in Greenlodge apartments, retirees in Oakdale's classic homes, and businesses everywhere from Washington Street to the Legacy Place complex. Each situation needs a different approach, and after two decades of working in this town, we've pretty much seen it all.
Residential Locksmith Services That Keep Dedham Families Safe
Your home is where your family sleeps, where you keep everything you value, and honestly, where you should feel completely safe. We take that seriously. Here's how we help Dedham homeowners protect what matters most:
Emergency Lockout Service: Got locked out of your home after a long day commuting from Boston on the Franklin Line? We understand the frustration. Our average response time to Dedham homes is 20-30 minutes, and we'll get you back inside without damaging your door or making you wait in the cold. We've helped families in every Dedham neighborhood, from the winding streets of The Manor to the waterfront homes in Riverdale.
Lock Rekeying and Replacement: Just bought one of those beautiful colonial revivals in Greenlodge? Smart move. Now let's make sure you're the only one with keys. Rekeying your locks is usually faster and more affordable than full replacement, and we can handle your entire house in one visit. We work with all the hardware you'll find in Dedham homes, from vintage locks in historic properties to modern high-security systems in newer builds.
Smart Lock Installation: More Dedham residents are discovering the convenience of never fumbling for keys again - especially when you're carrying groceries from Roche Bros or coming home from the gym. We install and configure smart locks that work with your phone, integrate with your home automation system, and still have backup keys for when your phone battery dies. Popular brands we work with include August, Schlage Encode, Yale, and Kwikset Smart Code.
High-Security Lock Upgrades: Some Dedham streets see more foot traffic than others, and if you're near the commercial areas or major roads like High Street or East Street, you might want extra protection. We install Grade 1 deadbolts, reinforced strike plates, and bump-proof locks that give you serious peace of mind.
Commercial Locksmith Services for Dedham Businesses
Running a business in Dedham means you've got enough on your plate without worrying about whether your locks are doing their job. From the shops around Dedham Square to the offices at Dedham Corporate Center, we help local businesses stay secure so they can focus on what they do best.
Master Key Systems: If you're managing a building with multiple tenants or running a business with different access levels, you don't want to carry around twenty different keys. We design and install master key systems that give you control while letting employees, tenants, or contractors access only the areas they need. It's a game-changer for property managers along Route 1 and business owners throughout town.
Access Control Systems: Modern businesses need modern security. We install keyless entry systems that track who comes and goes, let you change access codes instantly when employees leave, and give you complete control from your phone. Whether you run a medical office on East Street, a retail shop at Legacy Place, or a warehouse near the industrial areas, we'll set up a system that fits your needs and budget.
Commercial Lock Repair and Maintenance: A lock that sticks or doesn't latch properly isn't just annoying - it's a security risk and a liability issue. We repair and maintain commercial door hardware, panic bars, exit devices, and everything else that keeps your Dedham business running smoothly and safely. Regular maintenance prevents the 8 AM emergency call when your front door won't open.
After-Hours Emergency Service: Security emergencies don't wait for business hours. Break-in at your Dedham store? Lock malfunction that's keeping you from opening? We're available 24/7 to get your business secure and operational again. We understand that every hour you're closed costs money, and we move fast.
Why Dedham Residents and Businesses Choose Astro Locks
You've got options when you need a locksmith. Here's why your Dedham neighbors keep calling us instead of taking chances with whoever pops up first in a Google search:
We Actually Know Dedham: When you call us, we don't need GPS directions to find Wigwam Pond or ask where Oakdale Square is. We've been working in this town for over 20 years. We know which neighborhoods have which types of locks, which buildings present special challenges, and how to get anywhere in Dedham fast—even during rush hour on Route 1.
Fast Response When You Need It: Nobody plans to get locked out, and you shouldn't have to wait around for hours when it happens. We keep our response times under 30 minutes for emergency calls throughout Dedham, and we actually answer our phone when you call—no automated menus, no waiting on hold, just a real person who can help.
Honest Pricing, No Surprises: We'll tell you what the job costs before we start work, and that's what you'll pay. No hidden fees, no padding the bill, no taking advantage of emergency situations. It's how we've built relationships in this community for two decades, and it's how we plan to keep them.
Quality Work That Lasts: We use professional-grade hardware and install everything to manufacturer specifications. When we rekey your locks or install a new deadbolt, it works properly from day one and keeps working. We stand behind our work because we're not just passing through town—we're part of this community.
Licensed, Insured, and Professional: We maintain all required Massachusetts certifications and carry comprehensive insurance. Our technicians show up in clean uniforms, respect your property, and treat your home or business like it's our own. No drama, no mess, just professional service from start to finish.

We'll extract it and get you a working key before you know it.
We don't charge outrageous emergency fees just because you need help outside normal business hours. You're already dealing with stress—we're not going to make it worse by gouging you on price. Fair pricing, fast service, professional results. That's the Astro Locks promise.
Smart Lock Installation and Modern Security Solutions
Dedham homeowners are increasingly interested in smart home technology, and for good reason. Smart locks offer convenience that traditional keys simply can't match, especially for busy families juggling work commutes to Boston, kids' activities, and everything else life throws at you.
We install and configure all the major smart lock brands, and we'll help you choose the right one for your specific situation. Some smart locks work better with existing deadbolts, others replace your entire lock. Some integrate with alarm systems, others work standalone. Some have keypads for kids who lose keys, others use your phone exclusively.
During installation, we make sure everything's properly aligned, the batteries are positioned correctly, the app is configured to your preferences, and you understand exactly how to use all the features. We don't just slap a smart lock on your door and leave - we make sure you're comfortable with the technology and have our number if you ever need support.

We work throughout Dedham, and we mean all of it. The historic homes near the Fairbanks House in Oakdale where locks sometimes need special handling to protect architectural details.

The Manor's mid-century homes, East Dedham's family neighborhoods, and everything in between.

Testimonials
Customer Reviews from Dedham Residents
Called Astro Locks after I got locked out of my house at 11 PM with my two kids asleep inside with my mother-in-law (who's hard of hearing and wasn't answering the door). They understood the urgency and had someone here in 23 minutes. The technician was professional, fast, and didn't make me feel stupid for locking myself out. Got me back inside without waking anyone up. Cannot recommend them enough.
Sarah M., Oakdale
We bought our first house in Dedham last month and hired Astro Locks to rekey everything and install smart locks on the front and garage doors. They showed up exactly when they said they would, the technician explained everything clearly, and the price was very reasonable. The smart locks have been working perfectly - no more worrying about whether I locked the door when I'm already on Route 1 heading to work. These guys know what they're doing.
James P., Greenlodge
After our house was broken into, we called Astro Locks to upgrade all our locks to high-security deadbolts. They came out the same day, gave us a thorough assessment of our home security, and installed Grade 1 deadbolts on all our exterior doors with reinforced strike plates. The technician even pointed out that one of our doors needed adjustment because it wasn't closing properly. Two years later, everything still works perfectly and we feel so much safer. Worth every penny.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dedham Locksmith Services
How quickly can you respond to a lockout in Dedham?
Our average response time for emergency lockouts in Dedham is 20-30 minutes. We keep mobile service vehicles positioned throughout our coverage area, and Dedham is central to our service zone. During extreme weather or peak traffic times, it might take a bit longer, but we'll give you an honest estimate when you call and keep you updated if anything changes.
Do you charge extra for emergency service in Dedham?
We keep our pricing fair and transparent regardless of when you need service. While there may be a modest after-hours service fee for middle-of-the-night emergencies, we don't use emergency situations as an opportunity to overcharge. We'll tell you the cost upfront before we start any work, and that's what you'll pay - no surprises.
Can you rekey all the locks in my Dedham home in one visit?
Absolutely. In most cases, we can rekey an entire house during a single service call. We carry the necessary pins and supplies in our service vehicles, so we can handle everything from your front door deadbolt to your back door lock to your garage entry - all keyed to work with the same new key. It usually takes us about 15-20 minutes per lock, so a typical single-family home can be done in under two hours.
What should I do if I'm locked out of my Dedham home right now?
First, take a breath - we've got you. Call us at (617) 448-6554 and we'll dispatch a technician immediately. While you wait, check if any windows or other doors might be unlocked (though don't climb on anything dangerous or break windows). If you have a trusted neighbor who has a spare key, that might be faster, but if not, we'll be there soon. If it's cold or hot outside, consider waiting in your car or a nearby coffee shop if possible, and we'll call you when we're close.
Should I change my locks or just rekey them when I move to Dedham?
For most move-in situations, rekeying is the smart choice. It's faster, more affordable, and gives you the same security benefit—you get new keys and nobody else can get in. We recommend full lock replacement only when the existing locks are damaged, very old, or low-security models you want to upgrade. When you call us, we can assess your specific situation and give you honest advice about whether rekeying is sufficient or if replacement makes more sense.
Do you install smart locks for Dedham homes and businesses?
Yes, smart lock installation is one of our most requested services lately. We install and configure smart locks for both residential and commercial properties throughout Dedham. We work with all the major brands - August, Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, and others - and we'll help you choose the right model based on your specific needs, door type, existing hardware, and whether you want integration with other smart home systems. Installation typically takes about an hour, and we'll make sure you're completely comfortable using all the features before we leave.
