About All Pro Locksmithing

---

I am a Locksmith. I am NOT a Salesman. When I suggest dead-bolt locks on doors that do not have them or having extended strike plates and door re-enforcer plates installed it is because I believe they help prevent crime. I have never and will never try to upsell just to walk away with a few extra dollars. This has been my life for over 20 years and my character and integrity are worth more than a couple of bucks.

My name is Hank Fuller, CPL and I unknowingly started my locksmith career when I was about 15 years old.  I used to help my father, Bill Fuller, at his shop at 224 North Main Street Horseheads, NY.  Most of the time I would only be allowed to hand him tools or clean the shop.  Once in a while however, he would let me duplicate a key or take a lock off of a door.  Earlier I said I unknowingly started my locksmith career when I was 15 because, at the time, I didn’t think that was what I wanted to do for a living.  Then in 1993, about 15 years later, my fathers health kept him from continuing the business.  At that time three of my brothers and I took over the business and I have been a locksmith ever since.
