I've used these guys on a few occasions for various things around the house. Most recently I lost…read moreall my keys (they were stolen) in circumstances where the thieves also had access to my home address. I'm only moderately handy but was able to bring my Chubb locks to these guys to get them reset. That saved me a significant callout charge and, having got a few different quotes, Keymasters were both the nearest and least expensive for this job. I also had a safe key cut recently which cost a little more than I anticipated but if you are getting a few things done I have found them happy to haggle (a little) on price, which I always enjoy. I notice they also now copy key fobs and access cards so I'm going to get a spare made for my office also.

This summer my mom had a major dilemma. She couldn't find her car keys. This was the second time…read moreit had happened to her in a few months time. The first time she couldn't find her main set of keys and so she had been using the valet key ever since. Now that the valet key was gone she was really stuck and had no idea where she could get new keys. Luckily, we should realised that my sister had accidentally taken my mom's keys to work with her that morning, don't ask she's a bit of a bimbo! A few months later I was walking past The Keyhole and realised that not only do they do your standard door locks and keys for them, they also cut car keys! The perfect solution for my mom's dilemma! If she had just copied her keys in the first place she would have had an extra set lying around when the other extra set had gone missing. If you locked up something and threw away the key and are now regretting it get thee to the keyhole!

Efficient no-nonsense service. I was referred to Keyhole to get some keys cut and I was in and out…read moreof there within minutes. Not only that, I was also given a deal: 3.50 Euro per key or three keys for 10 Euro. Not bad! Hopefully, I won't have a need for a locksmith in the future, however, you'll find me here if I do! NOTE: CASH ONLY

I may have been smiling at the Yelp Goes Back To The Future but several hours earlier I was…read morementally in a foetal position and willing a sudden identity change and location change to transport me. I wanted to be a coconut seller in the Caribbean but alas. 6:30am - "Time to get the party prep ready. Uh oh spagehetti-o my car is clamped." 6:35am - Get taxi to storage place. 7:30am - After I paid €80 I got a delightful text message from Dublin County council. "Your vehicle has been declamped. Please drive safely." Ugh. 8:30am - Walk to declamped car. "Where the hell are my keys?" Get taxi back to storage unit, not there. Call receipt of first taxi. Bogus taxi driver. Call gardaí... "Hmm this is fishy there are several people registered under this taxi license and no contact info." 9:30am: Taxi man from heaven, Willie Price, calls locksmith Ken. "Ken all the wine for my event tonight is in that car. I also need that car to transport everything." 11:00am "Annie this car is breaking my heart I am going to have to shut the whole computer down." "It has a computer?" "Eh yeah..." "Just do it Ken I need the car!" "It will cost more." "Do it!" 11:45am: €230 poorer but with 2 sets of keys, one set which my boss takes and decides where to put it in my house as I'm too scatter brained. Ken saved the day. Without Ken I would have ran far away from the Science Gallery and got a new identity. Thank you Ken.

This is super handy shop. You may get a lot of things done in here. Need insoles? Got it. Need keys…read morecut? Done. Need something engraved? Just say the phrase. Need to repair you watch? Cheapest shop you can find in city centre. I was looking for 377 watch battery, which costs €1 on eBay. All other shops were asking €10 for a tiny 377 type of battery for my old simple watch that 15 years ago cost me €22. This is insane! Anyway, went through several shops in city centre until I found this helpful simple shop. They sold me battery for €5 without bargaining. I'd say could paid maybe €3-4, but that's fine. They have to to living as well, don't they? As I said, pop in there, if you need anything small done. They do more stuff that I written.

I'm very happy that I found this small multi-purpose shop in the Stephen's Green Shopping Centre…read more While primarily known as a shoe repair/cobbler, Timpson also engraves jewelry and knives, cuts keys, sells signage, and repairs watches. They even sell an assortment of random items like zippo lighters. I'm giving them 4 stars for the great job they did engraving my knives. For about 5 euro each, I had 1/2 dozen knives perfectly engraved in a nice scripture (you can pick from a large assortment of fonts). Major points for doing the engraving while I waited (took less than 20 minutes). I researched a few jewelers and they all wanted 1 to 2 days to do the same type engraving.
