St. Louis’ Trusted Security Experts Since 1995
Patrick Duncan, the current owner, started learning the trade at fifteen, riding along with his father Charlie on service calls, fetching tools, watching, asking questions, and eventually running jobs of his own. There’s no shortcut to that kind of education. You learn how a mortise lock is actually put together by taking a few dozen of them apart. You learn how a commercial safe behaves under stress by sitting with one at 2 AM while a bank manager paces behind you. You learn how to talk to customers by watching your father explain, patiently and without condescension, why the cheap option isn’t really cheap.
That hands-on apprenticeship shaped the company Patrick runs today. We hire technicians with the same mindset — people who are genuinely curious about how mechanisms work, who take pride in leaving a job site cleaner than they found it, and who know the difference between a fix that holds and a fix that merely appears to. Craftsmanship is an old-fashioned word for it, but it’s the right one. The locks, safes, doors, and access systems we install are meant to last, and the work we put into them should last just as long.

Built on generations of experience, we treat every client like family—delivering honest service, strong relationships, and care you can rely on.
We take pride in doing the job right. Our trained technicians deliver precise, secure, and high-quality work backed by decades of hands-on expertise.
Your safety is our priority—24/7. From homes to businesses, we provide dependable solutions and stand behind our work until you’re 100% satisfied.
Our service list is broad, but it’s organized around a simple principle: if it secures a building, we work on it.
On the commercial side, we serve banks and credit unions (vault service, safe deposit boxes, drive-up equipment, night depositories), retail and office properties (storefront doors, panic hardware, master key systems), industrial facilities (heavy-duty locking, restricted keyways, high-security cylinders), and institutional clients like schools, churches, and municipal buildings. We handle door and frame tear-out and replacement, light construction adjacent to security work, and access control system design and installation — from simple standalone keypads to multi-door networked systems with credentialed entry, audit trails, and remote administration.
On the residential side, we help homeowners upgrade beyond the builder-grade hardware most new homes ship with. High-security keys that can’t be copied at a kiosk. Deadbolts that actually resist a kick. Smart locks that integrate with the rest of your home without creating new vulnerabilities. Full home security systems — alarms, cameras, monitored response — sized and priced to match real households, not upsold into something you don’t need.
And when something goes wrong outside of normal hours, we run a 24-hour emergency line for established commercial clients and, when staffing allows, for homeowners across our service area. The goal isn’t to be the locksmith who races to every midnight call in the metro. The goal is to be the one who picks up when the businesses we’ve looked after for years really need us.
