Portside Locksmiths is available seven days a week across Fremantle and the southern suburbs, with after-hours call-outs subject to availability. ### Do you provide a 24-hour locksmith service? We’re available seven days, with after-hours assistance subject to availability. Call 0403 232 113 to check whether a locksmith is available. ### Which Fremantle suburbs do you service? Fremantle, East Fremantle, South Fremantle, O'Connor, Hilton, Palmyra, Bicton, Melville, Hamilton Hill, Spearwood and the surrounding southern suburbs. We operate out of O'Connor and come to you. If you are further out, ring and ask rather than assuming, because it depends on the job. ### Do you come to me, or do I come to you? We come to you. Portside is a mobile locksmith service operating out of O'Connor, so the van comes to your home, business or vehicle with the tools and key blanks on board. There is no shopfront to visit. ### How much does a locksmith call-out cost? Daytime lockouts start from $185 and after-hours lockouts from $240. Call-out fees are $100 during the day and $220 after hours; ask us to confirm whether a call-out fee applies to your job. What your job costs depends on the locks, the access and how long it takes. We explain the expected costs before work begins. ### Can you rekey a lock instead of replacing it? Usually, if the lock is suitable. Rekeying changes which key opens the lock while keeping the hardware you already have. Rekeying can cost less than replacing a suitable lock that is still in good condition. Residential rekeying is $195 for the first lock and $55 for each additional compatible lock. ### Can you replace a car key when all keys are lost? For many vehicles, yes. Tell us the make, model and year so we can check the key system and confirm whether we can cut and program a replacement without a dealer visit. Replacement keys start from $400 when all keys are lost. ### Can you install a smart lock on a screen door? Often, but not always, and the door decides. We check the frame width and whether a secondary lock is already fitted before recommending anything. If the smart lock you have chosen does not suit your screen door, we will tell you why and suggest one that does. ### Are your locksmiths licensed? Yes. Portside is fully licensed under security licence #SA21364, and Chris holds Security Installer, Security Consultant and Security Agent licences. He is a member of the Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia and holds the Motor Vehicle Repairer certification and licensing required for automotive locksmith work. ### Do you work with strata companies and property managers? Yes. Portside works with strata companies, real estate agencies and property managers on rekeying between tenancies, lock repairs, commercial door hardware, master key systems and restricted key systems. We can assess the property, document the access levels required and recommend a system suited to how the building is used.
