FAQ

Common Questions,
Clear Answers

Yes. Balport offers 24-hour emergency service for house lockouts, business lockouts, and other locksmith emergencies — day or night, including weekends and holidays.

Rekeying changes the internal tumblers of your existing lock so only a new key works — any lost or stolen keys become useless. It's faster and more affordable than full lock replacement and provides the same level of security. If your locks are in good condition, rekeying is almost always the smarter choice.

We cut car keys at our Costa Mesa shop, not on-site. For house lockouts and most other emergencies, we do come to your location. Call us and we'll work out the right approach for your situation.

We carry the largest selection of safes in Orange County — from compact home safes to heavy-duty vault doors for banks, jewelry stores, and high-value residential use. Visit our Costa Mesa store or call us to discuss your needs. We also install, move, repair, and open safes when combinations or keys are lost.

Yes. Every Balport technician is licensed, bonded, insured, and background-checked. You should never have to wonder about the person coming to your home or business — and with us, you never will.

We serve customers throughout Orange County, California. Our store is at 1586 Newport Blvd in Costa Mesa, and our technicians travel across the region for installations and emergency service calls.

Absolutely. We install a full range of electronic locks — numeric keypads, fingerprint scanners, fob systems, and app-controlled locks — for both residential and commercial properties. They offer top-tier security without keys to lose.

If your locks are aging, you've moved into a new home, lost your keys, experienced a break-in attempt, or simply aren't sure who currently has access — it's time for an assessment. Older locks are often easy to pick or bypass entirely. Call us and we'll evaluate your setup and recommend the right upgrades for your budget.
