OUR HISTORY

In 1903 Joseph (Joe) Ethier founded Ethier Locksmith and Sharpening under J. Ethier & Sons at the company's original location on Rollstone St. in Fitchburg, MA.

The business subsequently moved to North St. in Fitchburg, MA which would become their most prominent location and is still remembered by customers to this day. They served the community with Locksmith and Sharpening services for many years in this location.

In the mid 1980's, grandson Robert (Bob) Ethier took over the company and moved to a few different locations before settling down on Hamilton St. in Leominster, MA where the company remained for over 15 years.

In 2008, Joshua Richard started working for Bob Ethier, running the day to day operations. In 2011, Bob Ethier suffered an unfortunate accident landing him in the hospital for over a year, making it very difficult for him to return to work. This ultimately lead to Bob deciding to retire from the business.

On April 23 2013 Mr. Ethier sold the company to long time employee Joshua Richard with the promise that the Ethier family name and business principals would continue on through him.

In 2019, due to the pandemic, we closed the Hamilton St. location and transitioned into a fully mobile Locksmith and Sharpening company.

Today we continue to operate proudly under the Ethier Locksmith & Sharpening founded by Joe Ethier in 1903 as one of the longest operating locksmiths in New England.
