I came to East Portland Locksmith for 3/5 of my key cylinders on my vehicle to be fixed or replaced. I left with not only all the locks in perfect working order but also with a huge smile on my face and some very memorable interactions! What a wonderful group of humans, they were so kind and extremely skilled at their jobs and trade. I rarely post reviews unless I feel that I want to let the world know about an amazing experience I have had. Max, Viktor and Sam were so friendly, kind and funny! I would have stayed all day to hang out, but alas they made quick and efficient work, and charged me less than they had quoted me -- I hope my review helps you make up your mind on supporting this local company. Thanks East Portland Locksmith crew, I hope I have a reason to come back!!!

I came in to get my scooter cargo box key copied, fully aware of this Locksmith being under new ownership. I knew this key was not a commonly stocked blank. The owner was unable to locate the right blank, however was persistent on finding a solution. After some minutes of searching, he managed to find a close-enough blank, and improvised a copy that worked marvelously. When a business takes on a non-standard issue as a professional challenge, I know I've found the right place! It did cost a tad more than a previous copy made elsewhere, but the pleasant service, great attitude, and cute accent made it all worth it. What a wonderful, 5 stars addition to our neighborhood!

  • Nancy Badawy

Max and Victor were the kindest, most knowledgeable and most helpful people I have ever met. I have never written a review for anyone before but just had to share how wonderful this company and these gentlemen are. I had a terrible situation (car and house keys were stolen) and they were out in an instant helping make the situation much more bareable, even pleasant. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart. I will ALWAYS call them for any of our locksmith needs. Professional, punctual, polite, kind, great quality and value! I wish I could give them 10 stars! Thank you all so much!!!

  • Adam Moore

Called a locksmith, waited for thirty minutes they told me it would be $200 to open my car when they finally showed up. Told them there's not a chance I'm going to pay that. The guy who showed up told me he would "work with me" and drop the $30 service fee. I told him to kick rocks. I called East Portland Locksmith and not only were they out to me in twenty minutes I paid less than half of what the other company said it would cost! Service guy was named Victor, super friendly and professional! I would highly recommend this place to anyone in need!!

  • Dana Evans

After calling and stopping at several local locksmiths I happened to call East Portland Locksmith. I have an Audi with a switchblade style key that the key broke off so I needed a new one cut. I called around and found a supplier that had a package of 10 key blanks for $8.85 and East Portland quoted me only $25 to cut the key. I was told $85, $65, $135 from other area businesses! Good job guys on staying honest and not trying to squeeze every dollar out of your customers. Definitely appreciated and I wish more local businesses would follow suit.

  • morgan Taylor

I called and someone picked up right away. He said they'd have someone out within 15-20 minutes. The guy they sent was right on time, he was very nice. I did not know locksmiths were so expensive but other reviews say this is cheap, 75$ to unlock my car. I didnt mind paying it too much considering the other place I called said they would "check to see if someone is available and call me right back" that was over 3 hours ago, if I had waited for them I may still be in that parking lot. So I paid for good service.

  • Robert

I got my 2017 BMW key fob programmed here today. I called many locksmiths, but they told me I had to go to the dealer. Fortunately someone recommended this place, so I gave it a shot. I bought a unlocked key fob from ebay, and made an appointment. Max did his magic and programmed my 2nd key fob. The whole process was not as simple as I thought. No wonder everyone told me I had to go to the dealer. The price was reasonable compared to what BMW dealer would have charged. Highly recommend this place.

  • Daniel Whitaker

Spoke with Tim to change the lock cylinder on my front door. After explaining my situation, he walked me through the process to remove my lock cylinder and bring it to him (saving me precious dollars!) and was able to re-key it in under 15 minutes. When i got home, I was having trouble installing the new lock and Tim helped me yet again over the phone. Originally chose this vender due to their fair prices, but they now have a customer for life based on their excellent level of service!

  • Karen Krettler

The technician was early and called to see if I'd be available. I was going to be a few minutes after he'd arrive, but he said he'd wait. He was quick and had a replacement door knob since the lock switch on mine didn't turn properly. He was so speedy at re-keying the locks and the keys he cut were much smoother and than what we had for our previous locks. I thought the price was reasonable and the technician was friendly. I'd definitely use them again if I needed a locksmith.

  • AJAN FOX

I manage an apartment building downtown and ALL my copies come from East Pdx Locksmith! This is my new go to for key copies and any other lock related issue I may have. In a world where quickness and convenience are paramount I appreciate the personal service I receive as well as the knowledge of the employees. I've even sent my construction foreman to get a few copies made and now he's hooked! These people are the best

  • Forrest Smith

We were referred to East Portland Locksmith from another company. Unfortunately the communication was extremely poor and has added days onto our project that we have been trying to accomplish. As a business owner myself that has a ton of customers daily, I have never let that amount of time go by without reaching out to the customer. Whether we can assist them or not, communication is key in respect to everyones time.

  • Oksana Medvedeva

I’m the individual who needs to have a locksmith on speed dial. I have had to use their services twice upon locking my keys in my car. Okay, I lied. Also once when I locked my house keys inside my home. Max and Tim have been the two individuals who have came out to assist me. They were efficient, quick to respond, friendly during such a stressful moment and compared to other companies, very affordable.

  • Ryan M (ryan_moto_)

Bought a new (to me) truck that only came with one key, called up these folks on a recommendation from a friend and they were able to get a second key programmed and cut in no time and at a very fair price. Stopped in right when they opened on my way to work and they got me taken care of right away and I still made it to work with plenty of time to spare. Will be back for any future key needs! Thanks!

  • Michelle Shively

The crew at East Portland Locksmith went above and beyond to ensure I felt safe and secure after my stolen vehicle was recovered. They fit me in during a busy week and stayed late on a Friday to finish the job. On top of that, they were knowledgable and downright fun to work with. Their prices are highly competitive as well. I highly recommend East Portland Locksmith for all re-keying/locksmith needs!

  • FENG DOOZY

I had called 4 other places about getting a transponder key duplicated and programmed and they were all either not very helpful or extremely expensive. I called east portland locksmith and the guy was very informative and to the point, he was also really friendly. Got the duplication all for $75. I would definitely recommend this hidden gem to anyone in need of duplicating transponder car keys.

  • Stephen Judkins

I brought my car here to have them program a new key fob. Unfortunately, there appears to be something wrong with my car and the multiple fobs they tried didn't work. However, the guy spent almost an hour trying, gave me a clear description of the problem, and then didn't charge me at all for his work. So I owe them one! If you're looking for someone honest this is the spot.

  • Scott Snyder

Incredible service and price. Max and Victor were super responsive. Communication is excellent and they did a remote control key fob program for my 2017 Porsche for half the price of the dealership. I'll be a customer for life. Thank you guys! There's a reason these guys have such excellent reviews because they're the best. Don't look anywhere else for your locksmith needs.

  • MYCYCLEADV MJ

Outstanding service & true expert. My RAM fob stop working the crooked dealer wanted $450 for one FOB . I bought two programmable FOB at amazon for $59 and these guys (EPL) program two FOBs including the new key for $140. I also need one for my 2021 4runner, Dealer wanted $650. These guys charge me $180 that included the FOB and a new key. Thank you, You guys are Awesome.

  • suzette kolbo

MAX answered the phone call and when he needed to call me back ,he called me right away within 5-10 minutes. Always polite and very helpful. VICTOR the tech that came did what he could do to help. Then his honest opinion let's me know the problem isn't the ignition. IaI need a mechanic to fix my car. For East Portland Locksmith I Am Very Greatful. THANK YOU GUYS

  • J Bills

Had a tricky one for them - an interior clip broke on an old Subaru microvan from the 80's. Tech at the counter recognized it and went digging through spare parts in between fielding calls, and miraculously had one. Even helped put it on. Really went the extra mile (or in my case, km) and I'm thankful gurus like this are helping to keep my unique vehicle on the road.

  • Liana Allen, LAc

They did such a great job getting my new smart key to program to my car! It was a very complicated and confusing system to work with so I appreciated the determination to get it to work properly. SO much cheaper than going to get it from a dealer. And I called a few places in town and they definitely had the best rates by FAR. Very Impressed! Thanks again guys!

  • Stephanie Rubin

Good work, good price, nice person. The key was stuck pretty good in the trunk lock of my 1980 mercedes. I was a little nervous to go to a locksmith because people not knowledgable about these old cars can mess them up. But, not to worry. I tried getting the thing our for a couple of days before taking it there; it took him about 15 minutes.

  • Adrian Black

I needed to have the ignition cylinder on my vehicle repaired and I used East Portland Locksmith. I found the service excellent, the staff knowledgeable, the price was reasonable and work was impeccable. All things that make being a customer of East Portland Locksmith easy. I'll be using them for all my locksmith needs in the future.

  • Tony Forhan

Tim and Max are fantastic. I manage a large complex we recently had rekeyed. They were professional, informative and very responsive to my questions. I've recently Called Tim for after hour service, he was immediately responding to my request, called the tenant and took care of the problem. I will use them exclusively. Thanks EPL!

  • Lev Dog

Big thank you. I brought my BMW in knowing everything on a beamer is expensive. The locksmith explained what I needed, my choices and helped me choose the best route for my needs. Professional, kind and very patient. Thank you so much for your assistance, I will tell all myfriends. Sincerly, Amy with the silver BMW X3 thanks you.

  • Maya Cruikshank

Don't call any other lock smith because this is the one. They'll get the job done the way you want it to be done. I called for a lockout service. They came much sooner than I thought they would, got into my car faster than I've seen it happen and even made me a spare key on sight. East Portland Locksmith is who you need.

  • Cameron Runyan

After getting scammed by A-1, I called Tim from East Portland Locksmith and he happened to be 3 minutes away. He showed up, opened the apartment lock in 1 minute, and took very good care of us. Can’t sing high enough praises for this Local East Portland Locksmith. Choose this one the first time and you’ll be happy.

  • Cloud City

LITERALLY BEST PLACE AND HUGE LIVESAVERS. no one would pickup my calls about my padlocks or even help me out about my questions. These guys got it all figured out for me within half an hour and at a good price. Would always recommend and I’m always gonna be here next time I need help with key issues.

  • Emily May Stack

The people here were extremely helpful, professional and warm. Earlier in the day I had contacted another company and was treated rudely. I called East Portland Locksmith instead and they were respectful and quick to help. I had a very positive experience with East Portland and highly recommend them.

  • Dawn Lamond

We lost the key to our shed! We called ( on Veterans day! ) And got someone to come out the following weekday. They were able to make our house key into a key for the shed! (I didn't know that technology was available!) Super quick and easy and the price was right. Thank you! …

  • Sarah Chaney

This place was able to make a copy of my programmed key and fob for a fraction of the dealership price. Called and got a quote, came in same day, and the copy was completed in 15 minutes. They honored the quote and it was the most painless process. Couldn't have gone any better!

  • Shannon Rhoads

Max was amazing. We had to rekey several doors due a set of keys and car being stolen and he patiently answered a million questions I had before doing the work, and even went above and beyond when he noticed our garage door had a potential problem. Absolutely recommend them!

  • R R

This place rocks! I got a 2nd key made for my Bmw after having no luck anywhere! They did it for a 100$ in about 15 mins.! Bmw dealership wanted 275$. So I definately wasn't wanting to go there! This place saved me so I definitely recommend! Very friendly easy service.

  • Terry Bushey'

Sam and Debb went way above and beyond when they took their own personal time to stay late to get me the party I needed to fix a business door. They were very polite and accommodating. Great people make a great business. I would recommend everyone use this locksmith.

  • Mark Rios

They’re legit. Had an issue with my vehicle and told me it wasn’t my locking system as reported by an error code. They happily referred me to a mechanic that specializes in the wiring of it which they suspect is the issue. No charge for 15 minutes of their time.

  • Jason Hoye

I was having an issue with a key fob and called East Portland Locksmith. The gentleman solved my issue over the phone when others may have have had me come into a shop for service. I appreciate the honesty and will keep them in mind next time I need a locksmith.

  • Chris Stone

Incredibly quick service and reasonably priced. I was quoted 40% more by two other locksmiths and both had no estimate when they would be able to come out, or if they could even get to me the same day. East Portland Locksmith was there in 45 minutes.

  • Sean Carr

Lost my second car's keys. Only had the ignition and key fob. Drove down there and within a few minutes I had a new set of locking door keys and a backup made for the ignition key. Really quick and great service. Fantastic prices too.

My car key wouldn't go into the door lock. The locksmith was able to take out half a key that someone must had been using while attempting a break-in. I was in an out in less than 5 minutes free of charge. Thank you so much.

Spoke to Barbara over the phone. Smart lady! Was easy to communicate with her and describe the multiple doors we needed keys for and the different situations for each. Flexible and able to work with my weird schedule.

  • Erik Collingwood

I've had lots of keys made here. I doubt there is a key they don't have or can't make. House keys and car keys. From a 79 Fiat ignition key copy to programming a 2010 VW key/fob. They do it well and they do it cheap.

  • william woollis

Quick and painless to get a new key to my car made after being a dummy and losing my last one. Great customer service and really nice experience. Cheaper than anywhere else. Will use again but hope I never have to!

  • Habibi love

The young man who worked there told me it would be $260 exactly to make just one car key. I’ve never felt so ripped off and disappointed with a business. They could really try to make their services reasonable.
