About Us
Founded in 1985 by Richard, our family-owned locksmith business has deep roots in the Ocala community. Richard moved from New York with dreams of working at Disney, but fate led him to a locksmith in Orlando instead. After honing his skills, he transferred to Ocala and decided to start his own locksmith company, focusing on general locksmith services.
Growing up, Seth watched his father make keys for antique cars, which ignited his passion for the trade. Today, we are proud to be one of the only locksmiths in Ocala specializing in keys for 30s to 70s antique vehicles—a testament to our commitment to preserving history and craftsmanship.
Seth took over the business in 2011 after having grown up in the business. Born and raised in Ocala, he carries on his father's legacy with a dedication to quality service and a deep understanding of locksmithing. As a family-run business, we value our community and strive to provide reliable, personalized service to every customer.
