About us
As a member of the Massachusetts Locksmith Association (MLA) for 25 years I went from being the Marketing and Promotional seat to being elected President two years ago. I take this honor very deeply and lead with respect for all of our members and our business associates. I've been the proud recipient of the "Angie's List Super Service Award" every year consecutively since 2003! The first job I ever had was in my uncle's variety store in the nineteen sixties. My uncle's taught me to treat each customer as family and as I would want my family members treated. I carry this forward today as I try to make recommendations to my customers with only their needs and safety in mind. I founded Bonded Lock Service in 1992 as a single father, raising my 6-year-old daughter. After working for MIT Lincoln Lab for twelve years as a Metallurgical/Electro-Optical Technician. As a technician there I was also a union steward for numerous other technicians in my building . I learned my trade from another locksmith as an apprentice, and worked for him (unpaid) for nine months, 5 days a week to learn the trade. Besides that I have a Certificate in Locksmithing from the "Locksmithing Institute of America" and several others earned over the years via Mass Locksmith Association/Yankee Security. I also hold a "Home Improvement Contractors License" with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Presently Public Relations/ Marketing Chairman of Massachusetts Locksmith Association Besides me I have one "part-timer" Fred, who is a former Chelsea MA police officer and 2 other sub contractors. Bonded Lock Service became incorporated in the state of Massachusetts in 2002. While we've done jobs up into New Hampshire, west to Wachusett and down to the Cape Cod Canal. Today, I'm the grandfather of two beautiful children, a boy and a girl.

Gordon was wonderful. He explained the history of my old locks, rekeyed both locks so that I can use the same key for both, and they work smoothly.

Gordon was really impressive!! He worked on several locks for us. We had one older lock that was challenging to re-key for various reasons. He took on the challenge, demonstrating just how much knowledge and understanding he has about how locks work. This guy really knows locks! During his visit, he took time to ask us how we were going to be using the different doors/locks and then helped us figure out the best options for setting everything up. While he was there, he did not push unnecessary upgrades. He gave some instructions on how we could address some issues ourselves. We originally reached out over a weekend and he got back to us promptly, scheduled an appointment much sooner than we thought would be possible, then followed up about the work ahead of time to make sure he would have everything he would need for the appointment- which he arrived on-time for. He has a pretty impressive mobile shop that allows him to do much of the work onsite. All in all we would not hesitate recommending him to anyone.

Gordon was absolutely excellent to work with. There was solid communication (by text after initial call). He went way beyond what we asked. In addition to repairing the cylinder not working, he lubricated and checked/lubricated 2 other door locks. He found missing screws in door hinges, and as a courtesy, just put those in, as well as adjusting some pieces that were not done correctly. He clearly knew his stuff, and in addition, was just a pleasure to work with. Price was very reasonable, and would highly recommend him.

He was prompt and professional. I was also pleased with the price which was very reasonable. I would absolutely recommend him.

Gordon was excellent! I highly recommend him. He returned my call immediately and tried to trouble shoot the problem via text (I took pictures of all the parts as I had taken lock apart) Gordon told me “If It is a simple fix, I will walk you through how to fix”. Well it turned out to be pretty complex ( lock was likely original to house) so Gordon came out to our house the next day and luckily He was able to repair it and saved us a ton on money. Very diligent and knowledgeable. You will be in good hands with him!

I had Gordon Silva do the work. Within an hour of my contacting him, he returned my call, scheduled the job and the job was completed by the next afternoon. I was very impressed with Gordon Silva ! For price, quality, responsiveness and professionalism, Gordon gets straight A+ !! He is a very pleasant and knowledgeable man to deal with and I would certainly call him again for lock services. !!

Great! Gordon is super knowledgeable, prompt, responsive and professional. I emailed him through Angie's List to ask him about the job. He gave a very competitive quote. He came right on time and did an amazing job and gave my husband a free primer on locks at the same time. I previously had emailed him about fixing a sticking lock and he gave me free advice which fixed it in 2 seconds! He will for sure be our go-to locksmith!

"Thank You So Much!"

Bonded Lock Service took my call immediately, and offered to talk me through these repairs right away via FaceTime. They gave me clear instructions and helpful tips, and I was able to do these small repairs myself. They were very kind, patient, professional, and offered this help free of charge - although I offered to pay. I can't recommend them highly enough!

We had such a good experience with Gordon. We kept having to replace our front door lock due to it sticking. When we called Gordon he asked a lot of questions to ensure he had a clear picture of our needs, scheduled a day/time to come out, and was informative and polite throughout. He came today and we are so pleased with the job. Not only is the lock much better than what we previously had, he managed to work around the difficulties of old woodwork and left the whole space very neat, basically going above and beyond to ensure the door and frame looked nice after the work. He kept us well Informed throughout and was delightful to work with. I doubt I’ll have more lock needs, but if I do, Gordon will be the guy I call.

Gordon was very knowledgeable and professional. The house has old doors, some with what looks like 80-year-old mortise locks. Gordon was able to install new passage knobs and dead bolts and work around the many difficulties posed by the old doors.

Gordon is one of the most impressive service professionals we've had the privilege of working with. His knowledge of antique & modern doorknobs, lock systems, and overall approach is unparalleled. His skillset and expertise is incredible. Beyond that, he was on time, consistently provided updates on timing, and finished the job in a timely manner. He walked us through the details of each change and provided options and let us know the impact of each decision. I would highly recommend Gordon for any door/lock need, especially if you have older doors or even new ones. Thanks, Gordon!

Gordon was amazing! I would recommend him to anyone who needs a locksmith. He was very thoughtful and knowledgeable. He was able to squeeze me in the day I called. He showed me that the slipping was caused by a door knob that was the wrong size, replaced it on the spot and also replaced some screws that he noticed were missing, oiled the lock and made sure that everything was working well. He also installed a key safe for me.

They were excellent, in fact, at the times that I used them, AL has special deals and I claimed that to have a discount. They were very professional, trustworthy, friendly and very precise. They did a very good job. I've used them since I find them. The pricing was very fair, clean up afterwards and never left anything behind.
