Portal sits in the northwest corner of Bulloch County, a straightforward drive from our Statesboro shop. We handle automotive, residential, and commercial lock and key work throughout the area.
Portal is small and spread out, and there is no locksmith based in town. Everything we do here is mobile — we bring key cutting, programming equipment, and hardware to your location rather than asking you to get a disabled vehicle into Statesboro.
Lockouts in a place like Portal are more of a problem than in town, because there's usually no one nearby to help and towing is expensive. Professional lock picking and bypass tools open the vehicle the way a key would, without prying the door or damaging the lock.
Much of the residential hardware around Portal has been in place for a long time. Worn deadbolts that stick, locks that need the key jiggled, and doors that don't latch properly are all worth addressing before they fail completely — usually with a rekey or a hardware swap rather than a full door replacement.
We answer calls and run mobile service 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Our shop at 372 Savannah Avenue in Statesboro is available by appointment only — call 912-419-3368 first and we'll set a time. We're a one-person operation, so if we're out on a call there's nobody at the shop to meet you. A two-minute phone call saves you a wasted drive.
Also serving nearby: Statesboro, Register, Millen, and Swainsboro.
It depends on where we are when you call and what else is in the queue. Give us a ring at 912-419-3368 and we'll tell you honestly rather than promise a number we can't hit.
