Anderson Locksmiths

I started cutting keys at the age of 14 in my fathers hardware store, I then helped him start the locksmith business 30 years ago. My speciality was picking 3-lever back door locks with a coat hanger and I am pleased to say locks have evolved a lot since then. As a child I always enjoyed puzzles and finding out how things worked.
