Locks
Co. goes way back to 1946, When Milton Dorn grew up in
Connecticut, graduated high school and enlisted in the
US Army. He had learned the locksmith profession after
school each day by working at a lock shop called "Karpelow
and Co.' in Bridgeport. When he enlisted in the Army he
was listed as a locksmith and later put on special assignment.
This special assignment pulled him off the of the "D-Day'
invasion at
Normandy, and thus he survived World War II. After serving
his tour of duty he and his wife Betty came to South Florida
in 1946 where the winters are much milder. There he started
a locksmith shop. There were very few sources for locks
and keys then and the distributors that were around then
really did not take into consideration the needs of locksmiths.
He began getting difficult to get items from the manufacturers
and getting other locksmiths to buy them from him. Finally
in 1954 he closed the service end of his business to go
strictly wholesale and thus Locks Co. was born.
