A "Green" AA Lock & Key
As we said in a recent E-Newsletter, we are making every attempt to lessen our carbon footprint. Following are more ways we try: - We use key blanks that are already made from recycled metal. See the Kaba Ilco video to see where they come from...a surprising recycled material.
- Dave installed automatic light switches in the stock area and we use energy efficient lighting in the office.
- We use environmentally friendly cleaning products in the office.
- We attempt at the beginning of the day to schedule jobs in the field by location. But, emergency repair calls received on a daily basis can throw this out the window!
- In the office, we have transitioned to "paperless" with our invoicing system, using emailing and faxing.
- Our roadside signage is not lit at night, which also reduces energy consumption.
- This E-Newsletter is electronically produced. In the past, we've sent out a standard 8 1/2 x 14 brochure outlining what we do. As you know, we are able to provide readers with up-to-the-minute information via Key Communications.

Customer Testimonial
As Director of Maintenance at a local convalescent center for the past eight years, I have relied on your business to help me with the timely repair of many broken and damaged locksets. Over the eight years I have been in this position your business has been an invaluable service to our community.
Replacing or repairing a broken or damaged lockset is a critical aspect of the safety of patient care. Many of our aged residents are active and quite often try to enter a storage area, closet or stairwell out of curiosity or confusion; for this reason it is imperative that these areas are speedily secured for their protection.
Having a reliable, local locksmith is a necessity and AA Lock & Key has always provided speedy and professional service. I would like to personally thank you for providing this great service, in a timely and professional manner. Your customer service is always friendly and provides haggle free after sales service. I look forward to a continuing relationship with such a positive business partner in the community.
Congratulations on your 25th Anniversary and may you long continue with your success!!
Best regards,
John Sedgeman
(Director Maintenance)
Regency Heights of Norwich

History of AA Lock & Key
Here's another gem from a former employee!  A customer came into our office and asked one of the lock techs if he could stamp numbers on a key~he responded, "Yes, we can do it, but it is a pain in the ass!" He didn't last long here!
