A prime feature of my home is the beautiful French doors that open up to a private gardened area. On Thursday, rushing to go to work, I used a bit more force than normal to lock the courtyard doors, promptly snapping the key in its slot and leaving me holding the top end. Fortunately it did lock, so I could attend to my dilemma at a later time. Just a kilometer from my office is Armstrong, a small locksmith with a big name. Sensing my panic, the boys were quick to offer solutions, and managed to cut me a replica key in no time. The staff are full of banter and offered me a treasure trove of advice. I shopped around as I waited for the key, and found their little shop filled with useful security items. This is a good little community store, offering a vital service, and helping people secure their property in more ways than one. read more
