A Providence
Institution
What began in 1901 as a small locksmith shop at 135 Washington Street has grown into one of the most trusted names in security across Rhode Island. Through recessions, world wars, and shifting neighborhoods, Clark The Locksmith has remained a constant presence in the heart of Downtown Providence.
Today, the company continues to combine old-school craftsmanship with modern security technology. We are an authorized dealer for Medeco — the gold standard in high-security locks — and we stay current with card access, transponder keys, and the latest in residential and commercial security hardware.
With a team of experienced locksmiths and a deep knowledge of the Providence community, we bring a personal touch that big chains simply cannot match. When you call Clark The Locksmith, you are calling a neighbor.
