A locksmith shop, not a call center.

ABC Lock and Safe has been picking locks in Portland since 1985. Same shop, same neighborhood, same standards.

Our story

Forty years on the same trade.

ABC Lock and Safe has been picking, rekeying, repairing, and cracking locks in Portland since 1985. The shop sits in the same Northeast Portland neighborhood it always has, directly south of the airport, with vans on the road every hour of every day.

Locksmithing is a craft. The fastest, cheapest way to open most locks is to drill them, and most of the time, that's the wrong move. Picking takes longer, but it leaves your hardware intact. Forty years of doing it the slower way has built the customer base that keeps us in business.

Every locksmith on our team has gone through training and a background check before working on a client's property. That's a non-negotiable for us, and it's why repeat customers and property managers keep our number on speed dial.

What you can expect

Three things that don't change. Ever.

Background-checked techs

Nobody steps onto your property without first passing a background check and hands-on training. The list of people allowed to dispatch in our name is small on purpose.

Honest quotes

Phone estimates aren't bait. We give you a real range up front, explain what could change it, and stick to it once we arrive.

Pick before drill

Drilling is the last option, not the first. It's faster for us, but it's worse for you. The locksmith who reaches for the drill first is the one to avoid.

Service area

Portland metro and beyond.

Based at 3255 NE Wygant St in Portland, OR, directly south of PDX. We cover the metro daily and travel further on scheduled work. Call dispatch for ETAs to your specific neighborhood.
