Locksmith in Portage, IN
By Jacob, licensed and insured locksmith and owner of Jacob Lock and Key, serving Portage and Northwest Indiana.
Jacob Lock and Key is a mobile locksmith serving all of Portage, from the neighborhoods near Founders Square downtown to the homes out toward the Portage Lakefront and the Indiana Dunes, usually arriving in 10 to 15 minutes. We work 7am to 11pm, seven days a week. Call (219) 342-5595.
Portage is the largest city in Porter County, with a mix of established residential streets, newer subdivisions, and the industrial corridor along Lake Michigan near the Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk Pavilion. That range keeps us busy with everything from house lockouts and rekeys in the neighborhoods to commercial and fleet calls near the steel and shipping operations off US 20. Many Portage homeowners call us after a move or a closing to rekey every door so the previous owner’s keys no longer work, and we handle plenty of car lockouts at the lakefront and along Willowcreek Road and US 20.
Whatever the address, we come to you mobile and finish most jobs on the first visit, without damage. If you just bought or rented a home in Portage, rekeying every door to a single key is the first thing we recommend so old keys no longer work.
House and Car Lockouts
Locked out anywhere in Portage, from the neighborhoods near Founders Square to the homes toward the lakefront, we reach you in 10 to 15 minutes and open the door without damage. We handle house, apartment, garage, and storage-unit lockouts, plus car lockouts at the Portage Lakefront and along US 20 and Willowcreek Road. We finish most lockouts in minutes without harming the door.
Rekeying and Lock Replacement
Portage is a mix of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions, and buyers here regularly call us to rekey after closing so the previous owner’s keys are retired. We change the pins in your existing locks so old keys stop working, key every door alike to one key, and replace worn deadbolts and doorknobs with Kwikset, Schlage, and Adams-Rite hardware.
Smart Locks
Smart and keypad locks are a popular upgrade for Portage households who would rather not track physical keys. We install and program them, set up user codes for family and guests, and make sure the deadbolt seats cleanly so the motor is not fighting a misaligned door.
Commercial and Safe Work
For the businesses along US 20 and the industrial operations near the lakefront, we handle storefront and office lockouts, master-key systems, panic hardware, and fleet and lock changes after staff turnover. We also open commercial and home safes without damage when keys or combinations are lost.
For upfront pricing on any of these services, see our locksmith prices page, or call (219) 342-5595 for a quote.
