What People Say About This Shop
Dealing with McIntyre's was a breeze! I was fortunate to get same-day service, and everything was handled perfectly. During the installation of my new deadbolt, I also learned that they offer surveillance services, which we fully plan to use in the near future!
Noel came out and did a fantastic job! He was super efficient, thorough, and very clear, taking great care with my original 1930s doors while installing the new locks. On top of that, he’s just a fun and cool guy—had a great time chatting with him!
My experience with McIntyre’s was fantastic from start to finish. I walked into their shop needing repair on one of the old mortise locks in our 100+ year-old home. Jeremy came to our house, fixed the problem quickly, and even explained how these old locks work. Everything was very reasonably priced. I would absolutely call McIntyre’s again for all my locksmith needs!
Jeremy came out and completed the work efficiently and perfectly, while also paying attention to the extra details I requested. Their pricing is very fair, and they were able to fit me in for a same-day appointment. They even had parts in stock that many other local vendors didn’t. I’m extremely satisfied with my experience and will definitely use them again. Highly recommend!
I’ve relied on them for over 10 years for lock replacements and repairs. They’ve also serviced our snowblower and lawnmower, offering pick-up and delivery. Their service is excellent.
I had a very tricky key that no one else could duplicate. Rich and the team at McIntyre's went above and beyond to make sure I finally got a working copy. I’ll definitely be returning to them.
The best place to get keys made! I’ve never had any issues with the keys they’ve made, and they also did an excellent job on my mower.
The serviceman was outstanding helpful, hardworking, and honest. The price was only half of what two major national companies quoted.

Basic repairs like blade sharpening typically cost $15-$30, while more complex repairs like carburetor rebuilds can range from $50-$150. Get a quote before authorizing work.
If repair costs exceed 50% of a new mower's price, replacement is usually smarter. However, quality mowers are often worth repairing even after many years.

Yes. Most repair shops in Westfield, NJ service riding mowers, zero-turns, and tractors in addition to push mowers.
Drain the fuel or run the tank empty, disconnect the spark plug, and clean off excess grass and debris. This helps the technician diagnose issues faster.
Many shops offer pickup and delivery services for an additional fee, especially for riding mowers that are difficult to transport.
Look for shops with good reviews, certified technicians, and transparent pricing. Ask about warranties on parts and labor.
