A Family-Owned Business in Westfield, NJ, Since 1898

McIntyre’s Lawnmower & Locksmith Shop has been part of Westfield, New Jersey, since 1898. We are a family-owned locksmith and power equipment dealer. Owner Rich Herder and our team treat every customer like a neighbor.

Our Story

We opened our doors in 1898. Since then, we have grown into a trusted source for locks, keys, and landscape equipment.


Times change, and prices rise and fall. Our approach stays the same. We offer fair prices, straight answers, and service that lasts.



“We don’t just want to make a sale... We want customers for life.” – Rich Herder, Owner

Who We Serve 

Our customers come from every corner of the community. They include:

  • Homeowners
  • Professional landscapers
  • Government agencies, including boards of education and municipalities
  • Apartment complexes and assisted living residences
  • Real estate agents

Why Customers Choose Us 

We want to sell you your first mower and your next one. Then we want to service it for years to come. That is why we focus on relationships first.

  • Quality equipment and service at competitive prices
  • Prompt, friendly service from people who know the products
  • One of the area’s largest parts inventories for homeowners and professionals
  • Factory-trained technicians for repairs and maintenance
  • Parts sold to you if you prefer to do the work yourself

Our Team

Our team includes experienced locksmiths and factory-trained equipment technicians. They work side by side in one shop. That means a single stop for keys, locks, and repairs.

How We Treat Customers

We believe in building relationships, not just ringing up sales. Here is what that looks like every day:

  • We listen before we recommend anything
  • We explain our work in plain language
  • We stand behind the products we sell
  • We help you maintain your equipment for years

Giving Back to Our Customers 

Every March, we thank our customers with our annual Open House. Manufacturers’ reps come to the shop. We serve a catered breakfast and lunch, and we reduce prices for the event.

A Hometown Shop That Keeps Up

We have kept pace with the times. Today you’ll find electronic locks, biometric systems, and modern equipment on our shelves. Our commitment to honest service has not changed since 1898.

Most shops pick one specialty. We built our business on two. You can get a spare key cut and a mower tuned up in a single trip.

You may own a home, manage a property, or run a landscaping crew. Either way, you’ll find a knowledgeable person ready to help. Our staff takes time to answer your questions.
