History of Love Locks

May 5, 2017

Through the centuries, humanity has come up with myriad ways to show our love for one another.

Spring Break Snafus: Avoid Calling The Locksmith!

March 1, 2017

Have you ever experienced that feeling of being totally out of sorts for no good reason? It crops up at the most unexpected (and inconvenient) times like, for example, when you’re standing in the airport security line. You can run through your mental tally of everything you need: ID, wallet, car keys, suitcase, easy to remove shoes. Yet, even as you stand there waiting, you find yourself growing more frazzled rather than less. There’s something about going on vacation that makes every routine and habit go straight out the window, which makes it so much easier to feel like you’re forgetting something or, conversely, to forget things and not even notice.
