Lock Around The Clock

An extra special job for a customer! As locksmiths we occasionally come across treasures & are so appreciative of the trust to have people’s history shared with us. This beautiful old box & ledger book were locked shut with no keys. Once opened & keys made we rang our customer who then came in & went through many of the documents inside with us. There were family records, baptism certificates, letters, titles, deeds, & photos dating back to 1836! A copy of a publication from 1588 & a copy of a letter from Gallipoli dated 1915 regarding a soldier’s passing & his brother. Many of these items may be kept at the National Library once family have finished “discovering” them. The ledger had entries dated from 1874 – 1877 & the neatest handwriting! 🗝️🗃️🖋️
I have our customer’s permission to post all of this

A custom key requested to symbolise the Holy Trinity was made by André using a beautiful brass mortice key 🗝️ The colour of the key doesn’t show very well in the photo as it’s bright brass / gold in real life 🌟 Needless to say our customer was thrilled 🤩 In case you’re wondering this key is for decorative use only and not for working in a lock 😊 As always customer satisfaction is our #1 🔐⏰

Great to be able to congratulate & celebrate Cooper Kupke completing his locksmith apprenticeship today 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 Cooper has been qualified for a long time but we were waiting for his certificate & a time to have lunch together. Thank you to Kitchen Farm Pantry for a delicious lunch and Cooper for being patient (a skill that is required as a locksmith 😉).
