I needed to unlock my dad’s safe when he passed away. I called around and talked to a few business and seemed to be from a call center not the actual locksmith. One guy came out and he barely spoke English and came out in a Tesla wearing sweats and flip flops. He wanted to cut it open without even trying to crack the combo. I rejected him and then he asked for payment . When I called Ryan at Balport he assured me he could open it and when he came out he opened it with a few minutes. He was very professional and fairly priced. Good honest guy. I highly recommend him.
There’s a reason the have 5 stars. My car key was worn paper thin and truly seemed impossible to get replaced. These guys took their time, and managed to get me 2 copies! On top of world class service, everyone at the shop is very kind and hospitable. Absolutely recommend this place
As a Level 7 Local Guide, I was delighted to discover a small business with such positive reviews. I visited the establishment to obtain key copies and a new combination padlock. The staff demonstrated exceptional friendliness and expertise. While the prices may be considered moderate, it is understandable given the limited competition in the vicinity. I highly recommend this establishment and anticipate future patronage.
I manage an office building in Newport Beach and we have been a loyal customer of Balport Lock & Safe for over 20 years, and with each interaction, they continue to exceed my expectations. Recently, I encountered a unique problem when the key broke inside a specialized lock. Seeking immediate assistance, I turned to Balport, and once again, they demonstrated their unparalleled expertise. Within no time, they managed to fix the lock, provided new keys and restore the lock's functionality seamlessly.I can wholeheartedly recommend Balport Lock & Safe to anyone in need of locksmith services. Whether it's a routine maintenance task or a complex repair job, you can trust this team to deliver results at a reasonable price.BTW, they now have coffee and donuts while you are waiting! :)
Welcoming staff. I called before going to the shop to make sure they had what I was looking for. I wanted a key for my wetsuit when surfing that didn’t have electrics or a chip. They had the key I was looking for and took time to explain any questions I had about the key and the cost. The staff were kind and made sure the key worked exactly as expected for my car. Would recommend to anyone who especially isn’t looking to pay a premium for a driver to come out to your car if unnecessary.
