Our story
Over 20 years in the trade
Portside Locksmiths is the new name for Perth Locksmiths. Owner Chris has worked in locksmithing since 2001 and previously helped build and operate Amco Locksmiths for more than ten years.
Today, Portside is a small team of two locksmiths and one office staff member. The team works with homeowners, businesses, strata companies, real estate agencies and motorists across Fremantle and Perth's southern suburbs.
Chris remains active on the tools. His work includes commercial key systems, complex automotive locksmithing, smart-key programming and smart-lock installation. The team works out the problem first, then recommends the lock or key that suits the property, the vehicle and the customer.

★★★★★Chris was friendly, quick, and got the job done! We felt like idiots locking ourselves out, but Chris smoothed it over and my wife was no longer going to kill me.

★★★★★I had Chris come out and change several locks in my home. He was a pleasure to work with. Very efficient and helpful and rates were very reasonable compared to other quotes I had received.

★★★★★Chris came by at the drop of a hat when we locked ourselves out of our new house and had us back inside with no fuss. We then got him back to install a new front door digital lock and it’s been a game changer. Could not recommend Chris’ services enough and to top it off he’s a bloody good honest guy

★★★★★Highly recommend! Chris did a fantastic job replacing the lock on my front door and he also fixed the handle on my back door (which I showed him when he was at my place, this job was not pre booked). Chris had great workmanship, very reliable and professional, and everything was done perfectly. Thanks so much Chris! I highly recommend Chris to anyone needing a locksmith.

★★★★★⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely amazing service! He arrived within 40 minutes and kept me updated with his ETA, so I knew exactly when to expect him. He was super polite, professional and well-priced, especially considering it was a Sunday! I live in an apartment complex, and he had me back inside in literally 30 seconds. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially in a stressful situation like locking yourself out. Highly recommend to anyone needing a reliable locksmith! 😊
