A trusted name since 1984

For more than four decades, this locally owned business has kept Panama City's homes, businesses, and vehicles secure with dependable locksmith and safe services.

Owners

The people behind the locks

We built this business on a simple principle: show up, do the work right, and treat people the way we'd want to be treated. That's still how we operate.

Kimber Taylor

Kimber grew up around the shop—her mother Judy started as bookkeeper back in 2002 when Kimber was just six years old. After Judy's passing in 2023, Kimber stepped into her role and, alongside Dallas, became owner at the end of 2025.

Dallas Taylor

Dallas handles safe sales and moves, manages our social media, and works as a locksmith. Together with Kimber, they're continuing the legacy of Panhandle Key.
