The Best Locksmiths in Portesham, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

Outstanding service and highly recommended. We had just arrived at our campsite and I managed to break the locker key in the lock whilst unpacking. Arrived 15 minutes after calling and managed to free the lock and cut us a new key. Couldn’t be happier with the service!

Answered my call on Saturday afternoon and got me sorted within minutes. Reasonably priced for a Saturday call out. I would recommend C & S locksmiths to all my friends. Very happy with his service.

Fantastic service. Was with us within 20 mins on a Saturday night and got the job done efficiently, at a really reasonable rate. Would happily recommend to anyone needing locksmithing services.

I needed a replacement lock mechanism for a uPVc window, had exactly what I needed on the shelf

SW Locksmiths was brilliant, advising me over the phone prior to arrival and then once arrived. I had a non-standard lock problem, but Paul was able to sort this and leave me secured and raring to go. This mans a top bloke and will always help and find a solution. Very happy with service and outcome.

Paul came to our rescue after returning from the vets to find our front door unable to open. Mechanism completely shot in it, Paul arrived within 10 minutes of phoning him, he had all the tools and parts to hand; job done in 10 minutes. Couldn’t fault him at all. Fantastic service, reasonably priced and quality work. Would recommend to anyone we know.

Absolutely fantastic service. We rang at 9am and Paul was here before lunchtime, managed to open the door and fitted a new mechanism which he had on board. Finally, a really reasonable price for the work. Cannot recommend highly enough. You have restored our faith in humanity!

The Windowman let me down and couldn’t or wouldn’t help with a 3 year old front door they supplied. Fortunately found South West Locksmith’s and Paul was absolutely superb -excellent communication and customer service.Will definitely use again(hopefully won’t need to) - and I’ll recommend to all my friends & family.

Fantastic, friendly and helpful service. Contacted Wessex Locksmiths for help, with locks at a commercial premises, they really went the extra mile, nothing was a problem for them, and reasonably priced, highly recommend!!

Super friendly, realistic pricing. What's not to like. I needed a second key for my motorhome. Fiat wanted in excess of £300. Martin wanted £60. This is for a key with a chip embedded in it and is not something all key cutting places can do. Well Wessex can do it because it is not just a key cutting place though that is certainly on the menu. No, this is a proper locksmiths, the like of which are few and far between. If you are in this part of the world and need keys cut, door locks, safes etc etc. This is where you should head. So grateful to Martin.

I'm so glad I used this company to install locks in my new house. Sam assessed my house so he could order the correct size locks and he was very polite and informative when explaining the difference between 1, 2 and 3 star locks. I chose the 3 star locks as I wanted to make sure my insurance company couldn't refuse a claim if someone ever broke in. A few days later Lee visited and installed the locks. Lee was also amazing! He was super nice and installed the locks quickly. He even adjusted the hinges on a set of double doors that rubbed together when they closed. I could see that the locks Lee installed were much thicker and higher quality than the originals and the new keys were also a lot thicker. All of the locks work so much more smoothly than the originals. They turn very easily and there's no movement on any of the doors if you jostle the doorknobs when the doors are closed and locked. It's also so much easier to luck and unlock the new cylinders. And the adjustment of the double doors is incredible - I no longer have to lift the door to lock it :-) If I had purchased some cheap locks from a hardware shop they would have been cheaper, but they would never have worked as smoothly (or been as secure) as the '3 star' locks I purchased from Wessex Locksmiths. And these locks will last the entire time I own the house. Highly recommended.

Brilliant service. I needed a new key cut and coded for my car. Quote was a third of what the main dealer wanted and the service was second to none. I like the fact that my new key is actually better than the original. I would highly recommend this business for all your lock and security needs. Well stocked shop as well. Independent businesses like this should be supported.

Called ASL last week to arrange a new key for my van. Was given a few dates to choose from including today. They turned up at my North Dorset based business & completed the work (making a new key) in under 30 mins. Very quick, friendly & efficient service. Very happy customer. 👍🏻👌🏻

Amazing service and incredibly quick. I needed a new key cut within 30 minutes and they were all finished within 25! plus they only charged 1/6th of the quote I got from the AA. Absolutely brilliant

Communications brilliant. Scott handled my problem efficiently and quickly. Didn’t even have to go to their main HQ. Their engineer was local and redirected to my house within the same morning. Job completed within half an hour.

I managed to lose the keys to my old 1993 volvo. Another locksmith company didn't want to deal with it because of the age. I rang Martin at ASL late Monday eve, by Monday monday afternoon he had visited, helped me get into the car and had 3 new keys cut. Perfect, friendly service at a surprisingly low price.

Superb, I really can't say anything else. He arrived bang on, cleaned up after himself and the work was excellent. Does exactly what it says on the tin!

The service we received from Kevin during a power outage was outstanding! Kevin had to get us back into our garage (keys in the lock on the inside of the pedestrian door - doh! - and no power to the up and over garage door). This was a really tricky and urgent job so that our electrician could access our mains supply and restore the power to our house and garage. Kevin's skill and perseverance meant that the electrician was in very quickly and we had new locks immediately with no damage to either door - superb!

Honestly couldn’t fault Kevin and the service he delivered. He was friendly and calming in a stressful situation. Really reasonably priced. Thank you.

Kevin was super efficient replacing two patio door locks and a back door lock that needed considerable adjustment. Highly professional and friendly to boot and not overpriced. Highly recommended.

Had a very troublesome ignition barrel on my ford transit. Dave swiftly visited and fixed. Very impressed with the service and speed

If I could give Dave 10 stars I would!!! My car key completely broke and my car was stranded at work. My key was an absolutely pain to program, and Dave worked tirelessly for hours to get my key working and engine turned on again. I can’t thank him enough for his hard work. Highly highly highly recommend!!

I called Dave to get 2 new keys and remotes made for my fiat 500, imagining he might be able to help me within a day or 2 with a bit of luck. But far better than that he offered to drive over to me immediately and arrived within an hour of my call. He also had to break into my car as I'd lost my only remote and it literally took him 15 minutes from start to finish to complete the whole job. I found him to be very friendly, professional and efficient and i seriously can't recommend him highly enough.

I locked my keys in the car whilst parked at sandbanks car park. It was a busy evening and Dave came out to fix the problem. It took no time at all and he cut me a new key so I had a spare. Excellent service.

Tim is brilliant, swift to respond and very professional. He fitted a Simpled UK’ Smart lock’ for me and was kind enough to offer advice about the pros and cons of the different brands before I chose that lock. Tim was very quick to fit it , dealing with a couple of curved balls during the fitting. He even helped me set the app up on my phone and showed me the different functions. Thoroughly nice gentleman. Made me feel safe and secure.

Tim took my phone call very early on a Monday morning and was very helpful. He arrived on time later that day keeping me updated of his estimated time of arrival. Friendly, professional and polite. He was able to repair and replace our broken exit door lock with minimal disruption. Very reasonable costs with no call out charge either. I cannot fault Tim's services and would highly recommend, our 'go to' now for all locksmith services. Thank you Tim, keep up and great work.

Really helpful and quick response with clear and reasonable costs for change of faulty lock. Would definitely recommend!

Great service, called up and arranged to come the next day. A quick hinge adjustment and our door is locking and unlocking smoother than ever! Tim was on time, polite and friendly and was happy to have a look/advise on some other bits we need doing while he was here. Highly recommend You're in Lock! (and love the name 😁)

Amazing service. Came out quickly. Let me know exactly when to expect him. Explained exactly what he was doing (because I’m nosey!) and did a fabulous job. Also a thoroughly nice gent!! Would absolutely recommend!!

Dan came to my rescue with my front door and did such a wonderful job fixing the lock and even my garden gate! Highly recommend! Great communication and very lovely man!

Superb example of how you run a business. Absolutely faultless. Dan was highly knowledgeable and is obviously an expert in his trade. He put our minds at rest in which was a stressful time and after a super quick turnaround and handover it was all sorted and so reasonable for the work provided. Not enough stars to put in the review but I would never go anywhere else now. He’s got mine and families business for life. Thanks Craftkey!

Dan came out quickly when we were locked out of our house without keys. He was very professional, knowledgeable and provided great service. Good price too. Highly recommend!

Fast efficient and did what they said they would they would do and within the timeline given. The chap that visited was polite and friendly, with a range of experience for my job. Well done and will use again if needed.

We had a problem with our front door lock - Alex came out very promptly and was able to fix the lock quickly and expertly. Excellent service and would 100% recommend.

Give that Alex is now saved in our phones as Alex THE Locksmith I think that is the best testimony. Super quick, super communication, on time and even fixed another lock before he left... just because he could! THX

On the recommendation of my son, I called Alex to come out to my home to see to a front door lock that was causing me a great deal of concern. He was friendly and efficient - taking time to check for possible additional issues before replacing the barrel. I can thoroughly recommend him as a trustworthy and skilled professional.

We had Dan come out to us today. He was very friendly and a true professional . He did a fantastic job on changing our 4 locks. He was a wealth of knowledge and information on the subject and nothing was too much trouble for him. I would say he went above and beyond. So nice to have him do the job for us, we were very happy and now feel safe.

Called up and operator on the phone was useful… had an engineer booked to come in 30mins, took him less than 10 mins to get into our Mercedes sprinter van which had a dead battery. Price was reasonable. Great service.

I called this morning and they sent someone out within 30 mins. I was warned that my car may have extra security systems which would mean I couldn’t get a replacement key from them and this happened to be the case. I wasn’t charged a call out fee which I was grateful for. He said he was going to try and find out some more info and would call me back, which he did a couple of hours later. Can’t fault the service and I would highly recommend. Thank you

I broke my car key at work and found keytek locksmiths on checkatrade.com. I called and the engineer arrived quickly and did a great job, excellent service, would highly recommend 👍🏻
