Mount's Lock & Key, Kennewick, since 1948.
Mount's has been working the Tri-Cities since 1948. That is the shop's own line, and you can see it on the building: a white clapboard house with yellow trim, KEYS LOCKS SAFES lettered across the front, and a MOUNT'S LOCKSMITH ENGRAVING pole sign hanging out over the walk.
Step inside and it is a working locksmith's counter. Key blanks run floor to ceiling on the wall behind it. Padlocks hang on the pegboard with their price tags. Safes sit on the floor for people to look over. Two locksmiths in blue work shirts stand at that key wall in one of the shop's own photos.
The counter handles keys, locks and safes. The full list of services also covers lockouts, car keys and fobs, commercial master key systems and the mobile calls that take the work out to you.
From the shop's own site
Operating in Tri-Cities since 1948.
Seventy-eight years at the same kind of work: keys, locks, safes and the people who lose or forget them.
The van, and who shows up in it.
The yellow van wears the same red lettering as the pole sign. It is how the work gets to Kennewick, Pasco and Richland when you can't get to the counter. Customers who write about it tend to name the locksmith: Chris, who came out on very short notice to repair a key fob, and Shawn, who laid out every option when a home lock had to be drilled out.
The paperwork is on the public record. Mount's Lock & Key Inc. holds Washington contractor licence MOUNTLK909QZ, active, in locks, security and alarm equipment, and its principal on the Washington register is Lonnie Peterson. On Google the shop has 410 reviews and a 4.5 star rating.
