I have an old interior door (1920s villa) that I needed to lock without changing all the hardware etc. I had no original key & they have taken the time to make changes to an existing key that I had for another room... so now I can use the one key on both doors. I couldn't be happier with the knowledge, service, price, speed & courtesy. Thanks so much

Fantastic!!!
Wont go with anyone else now, they were booked out for when I initially wanted them to rekey my rental - Im so glad I waited - Paul is the ultimate professional, shares the appropriate information so folks have worry free use of their locks. Price was best Ive had yet and 3 lock cylinders were completely replaced !!!! cos they were cheap rubbish, and time intensive to rekey. Now Ill have no rekey issues with those locks. Thanks Paul - thanks Port Locksmiths :)

Wonderful customer service! Went well out of their way to help me with my difficult car key. Even took the time to figure out why the key wasnt opening my boot, which I had not even asked him to do. Really happy with the service I received and will recommend. Cute store front with home locks, bike locks, key cutting and more. Extremely reasonable prices.
