The bedroom door latch broke with the door in the closed position at our 82-year-old house (no idea how old the latch is). After removing the handle and trying everything I could think of to get the latch to work, I watched some YouTube videos of professional locksmiths struggling with this challenge, I called Jack at ABC Lock and Safe because he was listed on Google maps as being closest to my house. It turned out to be a tricky fix, but he stayed with it, finally drilling the latch into oblivion to save the door. He replaced a latch that worked with the existing doorknob. Jack is amiable, professional, and quick to move onto the next solution instead of sticking to a solution that's not working. Total time from phone call to fixed door was a little over four hours. Charge: $90 for visit. $75 labor. $15 part. Total $180.

  • Allan Christian

I contacted Jack, Owner/Principal of ABC Lock and Safe LLC to have a broken –off key removed from my front door lock and to also have the door handle/latch adjusted, as the door did not properly close without using the door bolt to secure the door from opening. Jack came to my house the next day, removed the lock cylinder to remove the broken off key, adjusted the door latch on both the primary door and the steel screen door in front of the primary door. He also lubricated all the mechanisms so that both door latches are now properly adjusted and working well. He did great work and made sure that both door latches and bolts were working like new. I was impressed by the dedication to his work and would highly recommend ABC Lock and Safe to anyone looking for a well-skilled, experienced locksmith.

  • Jennifer Huffman

I met Jack the owner serendipitously when I had a sudden flat tire one night and found a safe place in front of his house. He immediately came out to see if he could help and over the next 2 hours used his own air compressor to find the leak, attempted to change my tire with one of his own he happened to have on the premise (which required his skills to unlock the hubcap), provided a safe restroom, and checked on me periodically until AAA arrived. Just salt-of-the-earth person and proof that despite polarized politics and rising crime and distrust in the world, there are still good people doing good deeds. If I ever need a locksmith, this is the place and it should be for you, too.

  • Andrea Vedder

Jack was absolutely amazing to me and my family when our keys, wallet, and phone were stolen out of a locker at the pool. We had no way to get home and no way to get INTO our home, plus two hungry and tired kids... and we were all in our swimsuits. Not great! I'm so grateful to Jack for helping us to the extent that he did and for seeming to actually care that we got home and were OK. (We are! Thank you!!) As a cherry on top, the keys he cut for our new door locks are smoother than our original ones were! I would recommend him to anyone 1,000 times over, and feel super lucky that he picked up the phone when I called. Thank you!!

  • Lien Hoa N

No review can do Jack enough justice. Jack is an amazing human being that I appreciate very much. I was locked out of my car, and he came to save the day in two heartbeats. The sun was extra bright & blazing today- blocking the gaze into all of my car windows. So although Jack could see nothing while working away, he still found a way to get my car door opened. Thanks to him, I am now home safe & sound with my rebellious car key (who is grounded until further notice). My life would not have been able to continue on without Jack. As a locksmith expert of 30+ yrs, Jack truly *is* Portland’s hero (and mine).

  • Sharon Kerns

Jack is a true craftsman who loves what he does and provides exceptional service. He repaired and cleaned my old school Schlage locks and they work like new. I appreciate his decision to restore the existing locks rather than trashing them and replacing with an inferior product. It would have been easier for Jack to toss them, but he is a person of integrity, so he put in the extra time to make them like new. His price was reasonable and he was able to respond to my request for help in a timely manner. I will definitely call Jack again should I need a locksmith.

  • Dezz

OH MY GOODNESS! THIS COMPANY WAS MY SAVIOR! I called ABC Lock & Safe on a Friday evening right before they closed. My key had broken off inside my lock and my dog was also locked inside my apartment. A man named Jack came to my rescue within 15 minutes. He was able to get my broken half of my key out of the lock and also made me a new copy! Thank you X1000. He was also really nice to my reactive barking dog. EVERYONE IN PORTLAND SHOULD USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANY SERVICE NEEDED.

  • Jessica Greenman

ABC lock and safe was recommended to us by our realtors. I am so glad we went with a recommendation for a lock smith rather than a random Google search. We had a great experience . Turned out to be less than what we quoted me on the phone because he was able to save me money with keys. He literally ran back and forth from his car to shorten labor time. I hope he doesn't ever retire. You always need a good locksmith! I would recommend and use again. Thanks, Jack!

  • Michael Marteeny

I highly recommend. Chose the nearest open locksmith for my lockout emergency around 6pm, and the technician came within 15 minutes. He cared, moved quickly, and burned off all the stress I had with his positive attitude. My car keys slipped into the trunk of my locked car and I had my 2 year old with me stuck in a parking lot. It was an emergency and the services costed accordingly. I didn’t like the price, but it shouldn’t have been for any less.

  • Michelle Downer

Locked out of my really old chevy blazer on Christmas Eve, my favorite thing was that he gave me a quote right away when I asked, didn't say 'oh we will give you an estimate when a lock-smith gets there', he was completely straight forward with me. On top of that he was extremely nice and he was really fast when coming to my location. Would highly recommend and use over and over again!

  • Matt Hintz

I highly recommend ABC Lock & Safe if your looking for professional and timley service at a fair price. I have had the pleaseure of working with Jack for roughly 5 years for locksmith services at both at my place of work and residence. He is an expert in his field and is truly dedicated to geting the job done right. I really appreciate the quality of work and great communication!

  • Dan Gutschenritter

As a business owner, I've had Jack's help multiple times between stores from securing a door with better equipment after a break-in, to re-keying doors, to fixing existing deadbolts. He's always willing to help and can typically get the job done same-day! He's also very positive, upbeat, and friendly. I won't settle for any other locksmith. I would highly recommend his services!

  • Megan Stephens

ABC Lock and Safe was super responsive! I called them when we had snow for a few days expecting them to be delayed because of traffic and road conditions but they were there in less than half an hour. The guy was nice and friendly and was fine with my very excited dog. He wore a mask- which is a big plus during covid and he got me into my house quickly. I couldn't be happier

  • Alex Ganum

Jack at ABC is as good as it gets. I called him after an attempted break-in at my small business in NE Portland and he was able to arrive quickly on the weekend and spent all the time needed to get the doors and locks fixed properly, even following up the next day to make sure everything was sorted. Best part was the super reasonable cost too. Can't recommend him enough!

  • Kim Lane

Jack was amazing. He was about 5 minutes from closing but didn't hesitate to come to my rescue and change my locks! This is old-school service you rarely find these days. He was quick, efficient, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. His price for a house call is reasonable and worth it to know it was done right. I highly recommend ABC Lock and Safe!

  • Jenn M

I locked myself out of my car earlier this afternoon and Jack came to save the day within 20 minutes of my call. I called one other company before I called him and Jack was definitely friendlier and he was a lot quicker getting to me than the other company was. If I ever locked myself out again, I will definitely be giving him a call back!

  • M Class

I called to see about getting my car key duplicated. Though they don't do automotive keys there the gentleman on the phone went out of his way to help me find a place near me with the best turn around time and cost even though he knew he wouldn't get my business. If I ever do need a house or officer key duped, this man will be my source!

  • Jason Keyes

Jack was like a magic genie, that popped up out of nowhere! I was trying to get in my car with a coat hanger, and he drove by and said hi. He helped me in my car for free, and just seems like a really good soul. I highly recommend him, and would definitely use him before some of the bigger companies. Great dude, big heart. Thanks Jack!

  • Natalia Sourdis

I highly recommend using ABC Lock & Safe. I locked myself out of my house, but Jack and his team came to the rescue. They arrived quickly, handled everything very professionally, and went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy with the job. Jack is clearly very knowledgeable. I'm looking forward to hiring him for a future job.

  • Benjamin LeGrand

Very fast and professional service, went above and beyond the call of duty to help when I got locked out of a door inside he even re-did the locks because my landlord lost the key that went to the indoor locks , he was able to retrofit the indoor doorknobs so they work with the key I do have for no extra charge excellent service

  • Berit Stevenson

Jack is amazing! He helped me out with a bad deadbolt at our Airbnb - making time to respond quickly to make sure the upcoming guest had no issues. He gave me some great advice about keeping the locks and deadbolt working well with all the wear and tear of the many guests coming and going. I will always call him in the future!

  • Amy Kinion

We have a vintage front door knob, lock & deadbolt that was not working properly, as well as a vintage Dutch door lock that needed attention. Jack set up a time quickly, arrived on time, was really pleasant to interact with and did a great job on our cool old hardware. We will be using him for all of our lock needs.

  • Lucas Pelton

I called late in the evening about getting a copy of my fancy car key. Jack spent five or ten minutes on the phone with me letting me know all the pitfalls of getting a key cut and programmed and also referred me to two other places that could help me get the job done. He was super friendly and really helpful.

  • Vanessa A.

A nice gentleman came to our house to fix our front door lock that was sticking. He was on time and very honest. The part we needed was cheap and we could do it ourselves. He saved us $150 by telling us how to fix it ourselves! Amazing service and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again! Highly recommend!

  • Mark Hnath

I’ve had great experiences with Jack. First, he came out to unlock & re-key the garage door in our new house. Then, he returned to re-key the house locks to a single key. As a bonus, he shared a lot his knowledge about locks in general and specifically on the door hardware that came with the house.

  • Michelle C

We needed a new lock installed. My husband had tried but was not able to get the door to close right. When jack came out he explained it needed a certain piece to make it fit right. He was fast professional and such quality work. I would highly recommend his company to anyone!!!

  • Amy Scott

The owner was so lovely! Jack responded immediately on a Friday evening and drove to us in rush-hour traffic. In the meantime, we had figured out that we didn’t need him so I offered to pay his service fee and he refused! Will call him next time I need a locksmith for sure!

  • Bob Bammerlin

Jack is the definition of Sudden Service. I called at 5:30 p.m., he was at my house by 6! Without a doubt he is the most personable man I have ever met. He re-keyed 5 locks after the theft of my wife's keys in no time and made it a pleasant experience. Highly recommended.

  • Anne Angelopoulos

Jack was a life-saver yesterday. I was pet sitting in Portland and locked myself out of the house after taking out the trash. He was there within 10 minutes and was able to get me in vey quickly without damaging the lock. Terrific service, would highly recommend!

  • Michael Duer

Jack got me out of a quick bind recently and was an absolute pleasure to work with! Super concise and patient with me while I was frantically trying to figure things out, and helped solve our issue asap! Wishing you and your cats the best Jack! 11/10 service!

  • Heather

Showed up 10 minutes after I called for help. He then walked up to the door, did his thing, and I was in my car in 2 minutes or less. Friendly, professional, and REALLY quick. Best services I've ever had with a locksmith, and I've had MANY.

  • Chase Holenstein

I would give more than 5 stars if possible. Jack went above and beyond during a difficult situation for our family. He responded after hours and was kind about it. He was fast and compassionate and we are very grateful we called him!
