Lee's Lock & Safe

The earliest known locks were made of wood, and created by Ancient Egyptians about 4,000 years ago. Metal locks were developed by British craftsmen in 900 AD.

The locksmith trade was somewhat hurt by the advent of modern mass production processes that could produce locks en masse and very cheaply. Traditionally, a locksmith did not only help to open and install locks, but also built them by hand, including customized variations for every application.

If your car key ever breaks inside the lock, you'll risk causing damage to the locking mechanism by trying to extract it yourself. This is just one of those times when it pays to enlist the help of a professional locksmith.

Were you aware that there are different grades of locks? While Grade 1 is most recommended for commercial businesses, Grade 2 locks are designed for light duty commercial interior use as well as heavy duty residential use. In a commercial setting, they are good for office doors.
