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.
