About Us

Al Scott Lock & Safe was started in Vancouver from the ground up in 1973. The first service truck was a 1963 GMC pickup truck with a homemade camper for a shop on the back of the truck. The business was started by Allan and his wife Eileen Scott. Al saw the need for a locksmith company to provide professional locksmith service that would master key the large commercial buildings and keep an accurate file of the codes for the convenience of the building management people and also provide better building security. Over the next 13 years the Scott’s with the help of many people were able to build a company with 6 mobile units and 2 stores. By 1991 Al and Eileen decided that it was time to retire but were very concerned about what would happen to the customers that had come to rely on the master key systems that they had provided and also about the future of their loyal employees. In 1991 Peter and Vivian Anderson purchased the company and had the same goals of supplying professional service and master keying that our customers had come to expect. Peter had worked for the Scott’s for 5 years before purchasing the company. Today the company has over 2000 account customers and keeps track of all of their master key systems under strict security. The business of providing security for people and equipment of considerable value requires diligence and continued training to keep up with the changes in an ever changing industry. As of this date we currently employ 16 employees (8 road technicians, 3 office staff, and 5 shop technicians.) Every employee strives to be the very best and provide excellent customer service.
