Alabama Lock & Key

Alabama Lock & Key originated in 1936 when Dan Roegner opened a retail store in the heart of downtown Birmingham, Alabama to sell locksmith services and sporting goods. After a few years Dan Roegner retired and passed ownership of the business to his son Charles Roegner, who decided it was in his best interests to close the store; he saw a more promising business opportunity providing locksmith services as a sole proprietor out of his home in Norwood, an area in the vicinity of Birmingham. With the aid of his mother, who provided part-time bookkeeping and administrative services for the business, Charles Roegner was able to offer his customers a useful service while gaining valuable experience as a locksmith.

In 1963 Charles Roegner, along with his son Ron Roegner, formed a partnership to open a new retail store in the downtown Birmingham area specializing in locksmith products. They named the business Alabama Lock & Key Company and it proved a success. The newly formed father and son partnership enjoyed excellent sales growth and subsequently expanded into new service and product lines.
