A Real Business with Real Roots
From Security Technologies to Sprouse's Locksmith
When Tim Sprouse took over the family business in 1995, he operated under the name "Security Technologies Locksmith" for several years. The business had a physical storefront, professional work vans, and served the Lehigh Valley community with the same honest approach his father Tom had established.
Eventually, Tim made the decision to bring back the Sprouse's Locksmith name to honor his father's 60+ year legacy and the family reputation built since 1964. This wasn't a rebrand to hide from bad reviews or start fresh—it was a return to the family name that customers had trusted for generations.
This is what sets us apart from scammers: We have a real history. A real location. Real equipment. Real people. We're not a call center with a fake local number—we're your neighbors.
