How quickly can you reach me on Portland?

For most DT5 addresses across Portland we aim to be with you in 30 to 45 minutes, coming over the causeway from the Weymouth side. Fortuneswell, Easton and Southwell are all covered. The single road on and off the island means we give you a realistic ETA for the traffic on the day before we set off.

Does the sea air really affect locks on Portland?

It does, more here than almost anywhere in the DT area. Portland is exposed on all sides, so cylinders and multipoint mechanisms corrode and seize noticeably faster. A lot of our Portland work is freeing or replacing locks that have stiffened up with salt, and we can fit hardware that stands up better to it.

Can you work on the older stone cottages on Portland?

Yes. Portland has plenty of Portland stone cottages with original timber doors and older mortice or rim locks. We carry parts for traditional British Standard mortice locks and nightlatches, so a seized lock on an Easton or Southwell cottage can be freed or replaced without harming the door.

Are your Portland locksmiths vetted and insured?

Every engineer we send onto Portland is DBS checked and fully insured with 2 million pounds of public liability cover. You will get an ID-carrying professional who does the job themselves, not a subcontractor pulled off a directory at the last minute.

Which parts of Portland do you cover?

The whole island, so Fortuneswell, Chiswell, Castletown, Easton, Weston, Southwell and out toward Portland Bill. If you are anywhere in DT5 and not sure how long we would take to reach you, give us a call and we will confirm before you commit.

What Our Customers Say

The lock on our front door in Fortuneswell had seized solid with the salt air, would not turn at all. He freed it, then fitted a new cylinder that should cope better. 90 pounds and sound advice.

Tracey H. Lock change
Locked out of our cottage in Easton on a blustery evening. Took him a bit longer over the causeway but he rang to say so, and got the old timber door open without damage. 75 pounds, fair enough.

Gary M. Emergency lockout
Our uPVC back door in Southwell stopped locking, the mechanism had corroded through. He replaced it with better hardware for the exposed spot we are in. 115 pounds and no more struggling with it.

Donna S. uPVC door repair
After a break-in attempt at our place near Castletown he came out the same day, secured the door and returned to fit British Standard locks for the insurance. Patient with us when we were on edge, 230 pounds for all of it.

Neil J. Burglary repair
Snapped the key in our stone cottage door in Weston. He got the broken bit out and sorted a fresh cylinder, 80 pounds. Quick and no mess.

Karen W. Emergency lockout
Wanted anti-snap cylinders on both doors after a neighbour was burgled. Two done for 120 pounds and he explained why the old salt-worn ones were a weak point. Feel much safer.
