On the 25th of February, warehouseman Dave will be celebrating three years at the Lock. Dave likes to change his hair color to match his job; this photo was snapped on the day he received a shipment of Schlage bright blue.

Six years and we still don't have a photo!

  John Larocco (02/04/04). 

On the fourth of this month, John (Dealer Sales) will be celebrating Seven years as an employee of Southern Lock.

"Seven years of being punctual every single day has been of no benefit what-so-ever." John bemoaned,  "There is never anybody around to appreciate it."

Employee Updates

A Farewell...


Haven, one of our Accounts Receivable Clerk and Southern Lock Events Coordinator, will be leaving on the 25th of this month to be a full time, stay-at-home mommy. While not everyone around here is thrilled with her decision, this will surely make her kids happy. "I get to sit on the couch, eat bon-bons, and watch Oprah Television all day," Haven grinned, "Pretty much the same thing I do at Southern Lock."


and a Welcome...


Now, let's meet Hilda, who was hired to take over Haven's position in A/R (She doesn't know about the Events Coordinator part of her job yet).  Hilda, who started on Wednesday, Feb. 9th, comes to us with over 9 years of A/R experience and will be a great asset to the department.

Welcome to the Lock Hilda, we hope your stay is a long and pleasant one.

Surprise Counter Day


Jeff Barnett, from Suncoast Marketing hosted a busy and productive counter day last week. It was sort of an impromptu event with little advertising, more of a bonus for all customers who walked into the counter and were treated to an expert on S. Parker Hardware products and Jet keys.


Inside Training Continues


The good folks from Paxton Access held a class on their product line for our electronics people. Jonathan, Wayne, Gabe, Robin, and Ted all viewed their current access system line, which according to Ted includes a line that is priced right and ideal for 2 to 8 door systems. They also sell custom made keypads. Look for more about this new vendor in the near future.
