Mike Bardsley is the only Certified Master Locksmith in Nevada County as recognized by the Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA) and he is the only Registered Safe Technician in Nevada County as recognized by the National Safeman’s Organization (NSO).

Mike started his locksmithing career here in Grass Valley in 1979. In 1985 he took a 4 year leave from the Gold Country to work for a major locksmith wholesaler in Southern California. This gave him an in-​depth knowledge of lock manufacturers and their products. While there he participated in many industry related classes, seminars and trade shows.

In 1989 he returned to Grass Valley where he continued as manager for his previous employer. Since 2009, he has continued his 35+ years of service as Bardsley Safe and Lock.

Business Owner

I grew up in Southern California but moved to Nevada City in 1978. I worked for, what was then, the only locksmith company in Nevada County. After 30 years there, I started my own company in 2009.

I’m married with two children, one in high school and one in college. We live on a small farm in the Sierra Foothills.
