Electronic Access Control
We design and install advanced electronic access control systems that integrate with existing security infrastructure. Our solutions allow property owners to manage entry permissions, monitor access activity, and enhance security through card readers, biometric scanners, and mobile credentials. Systems can be scaled from single-door installations to enterprise-level deployments across multiple locations.
Video Surveillance
Our video surveillance solutions combine high-resolution cameras with intelligent analytics for both residential and commercial applications. Systems feature remote monitoring capabilities, cloud storage options, and integration with access control systems. We specialize in strategic camera placement to eliminate blind spots and provide forensic-quality evidence when needed.
High-Security Locks
We install and service Medeco's patented high-security lock systems that resist picking, bumping, and drilling. Our solutions include restricted key systems that prevent unauthorized duplication, re-keying services for property transfers, and commercial-grade hardware that meets ANSI security standards. These systems protect properties ranging from historic buildings to modern commercial facilities.
Smart Lock Solutions
We offer KeyInCode smart lock technology with Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity for remote access management. These systems allow property owners to control entry through smartphone apps, manage temporary access codes, and integrate with home automation platforms. Our installations include cloud-based management systems for multi-location businesses.
Emergency Lockout
We provide 24/7 emergency lockout assistance for residential and commercial clients. Our technicians respond promptly to lost key situations, broken lock repairs, and door hardware malfunctions.

We needed a locksmith to replace some locks, and made an appointment for the next week. Because we only got a 12-4pm block, I called at the day of the appointment to ask if they could be more precise (both me and my wife have full time jobs), but they couldn't. But then the locksmith who was going to help us did give me a call around 1pm to say that he'd be late because he had some other jobs to do first.
Then he never showed up. Three days later I called to ask what happened, and they didn't really know, but they said that it could have been that the locksmith had had an accident. If that was in fact the reason, it is of course totally understandable that the locksmith didn't show up, but I think it can be expected if something like that happens that the company calls the customer the next day to explain what happened and make another appointment.

My mother's tenant had an issue with the doorknob, so I called Artery Lock on a Tuesday. They scheduled a visit on Friday and fixed the issue. As promised they called when they were 20 minutes away so I could give the tenant a heads up. I'm happy to have found a reliable lock company with pleasant employees. Thanks Artery!

We needed to have mortise locks installed as part of a renovation of an old house for pocket doors. My contractor didn't have the machine for this installation, and a locksmith recommended Artery Lock Service. David (owner) came to do the install, and they look great. Very happy to have found a local and reliable lock company! Thanks for the great service and skilled craftsmanship.

Awesome guy saved me and was able to duplicate my 1 & only car key which was bent and nobody else could. Sorry, forgot his name but will never go anywhere else again. Thank you

Artery was a choice of our management company, but we never regret that choice. They did an excellent job fixing the building locks and making new keys. Don't remember the name of the technician, unfortunately. When we needed extra keys, I called and ordered, yet there was some mishap with the order location. I had little time to wait and was very nervous as I was late for my work shift already. Alex took a lead, dropped everything and turned to my problem completely.
He reassured me that he will do my keys within 15 min or less, and he really did! Excellent service, excellent people. I regret I was too harsh with them, but they were nice, kind and professional. Highly recommending the place!

David does quality work! We use Artery for any work in the Greater Boston Area requiring electric strikes, mag-locks, etc. He's knowledgeable, hard working, and his work is top notch.
