Your Local Partner for Complete Locksmith & Security Solutions
For over 30 years, A&B Lock and Security has served the people of New Hampshire and Southern Maine with reliable, professional locksmith services. From our roots in a backyard shed in Gilford to our state-of-the-art Dover retail location and 10-vehicle fleet, we have grown into the region’s most trusted name for mechanical and electronic security. Whether you’re locked out of your home in Portsmouth, need a masterkey system for your Concord office, or want to install a new safe in your Laconia business, A&B has you covered.
Our third-generation legacy means you get old-school craftsmanship with cutting-edge tools. We answer your calls, show up when we say we will, and solve problems quickly—even on weekends, holidays, or late nights. From keyless entry locks to panic alarms, safes to data cabling, our licensed team does it all. And we don’t just work here—many of our staff serve as firefighters and first responders in the communities we protect.
Experience the A&B difference: a family-run business that puts customers first, with fair pricing, rapid response, and unmatched professionalism.

Who We Are
Local, Experienced, and Community Driven
Founded by master locksmith Bill Akerley, A&B Lock is a third-generation company rooted in service and integrity. From his grandfather working out of a trunk in Boston to Bill’s own start in Gilford, the Akerley family has always been about helping neighbors stay safe.
Today, Bill leads the company alongside his son Brian Akerley, a career firefighter and VP of Operations and Sales. With a team of certified locksmiths, technicians, and support staff, A&B combines small-town trust with big-league capabilities. We’re proud supporters of police, fire, and veteran communities, and offer discounts to those who serve.
From our 10-truck fleet to our 24/7 emergency line, we’re equipped to meet every need—residential, commercial, automotive, and beyond.
