COMPANY HISTORY :

Modern Lock and Key was started in San Jose California in 1948 by Mr. Herb Lentz. Herb opened his shop at 821 S. First St., Modern Lock was purchased in 1985 by Ken Williams after Herb decided to retire. The shop stayed at the First street location until a fire destroyed the building. The fire completely devastated the shop and with no insurance all was lost. Ken relocated the shop to a very tiny location at 903 Vine street. and due to the size ,or lack of size, and the need to provide more mobile service to the Silicon Valley. We became more of mobile only locksmith. In 1993 I purchased Modern Lock and I am as determined as Herb was to continue the same, long-lasting, dependable service that we are known for. I am also to pleased to announce our new location at 1615 Westwood dr. in Willow Glen. We were the first Silicon valley locksmith to have a web site that we still (as you can tell) write and publish our selves since 1996.
