History

Established in 1982.

My father Jerry Dorsett founded Dorsett’s Lock & Key Service and operated it for over 31 years until he passed away in May 2013 at just 69 years old.

Before he started the Locksmith business he spent most of his younger years working in various furniture factories in Lexington and Thomasville. He knew a lot of the jobs there would be going overseas eventually and he started looking for another career.

The first few years of the business he was doing it part-​time for some extra money and eventually he was doing better income wise with Locksmith work. With 2 kids to raise, my mother told him one of those jobs had to go. So he was able to start working fulltime and made a lot of happy customers along the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher or father.

Business Owner

I had been helping my father in the business since I was 18 years old starting back in 1998, I have 17 years of experience so far and counting. I feel there is always room to improve and I’m still learning new things every day. I’m happy to be able to follow in my father’s footsteps and I really enjoy the work I do and meeting new people.
