The modern Boston homeowner expects more from a lock than a metal key and a deadbolt. With busy schedules, short-term rentals, and growing families, security must be smarter, faster, and code-compliant. CountBricks has become the go-to partner for “locks Boston” projects because our AI platform instantly converts job-site voice notes into precise material lists, real-time pricing, and installation timelines. Whether you are adding childproof cabinet catches in Back Bay or retrofitting smart locks in a South End brownstone, CountBricks streamlines every step.
• Deadbolts: Classic, robust, and still the first line of defense for entry doors
• Smart keypad locks: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth enabled, allowing code sharing with guests or contractors
• Childproof interior locks: Magnetic or lever-shield designs that keep curious toddlers safe
• Sliding-door bars and patio multipoint locks: Essential for Boston’s three-season rooms
• Window sash stops: Small devices that prevent upper-level falls while allowing ventilation
1. Egress requirements mandate that entry locks open from the inside without a key.
2. Multi-family dwellings must install fire-rated hardware on shared exits.
3. Short-term rental hosts must provide tamper-evident locks on owner closets.
4. Childcare spaces inside the home need tested childproof mechanisms meeting ASTM F2090.
CountBricks estimators automatically flag these code items as you dictate project details into the mobile app, ensuring compliance from day one.
Traditional lock replacement quotes can take hours of manual counting and phone calls to suppliers. CountBricks removes that friction:

• Auto-generated PDFs: Professional estimates and invoices brand-ready for your contracting firm.

• Match finishes: In heritage districts like Beacon Hill, selecting an oil-rubbed bronze keypad can preserve historic charm.
• Test jamb alignment: Many Boston brownstones have shifted frames; use adjustable strike plates to avoid bolt hang-ups.
• Use security screws: Three-inch screws on strike plates penetrate framing lumber, tripling resistance to kick-ins.
• Label childproof packs: Families appreciate clear cabinet labels when training babysitters and grandparents.
• Integrate with Wi-Fi mesh: Old masonry rowhouses mute wireless signals; recommend keypad locks that include Bluetooth fallback.
