KeyStop Locksmith Opens Retail Store at Becket Ridge Kroger Plaza. Behind Arbys Off 747

West Chester, OH, June 17, 2015 --(PR.com)-- West Chester, Ohio locksmith and inventor Rod Herdman has expanded his commercial locksmith business to now include a full service retail storefront near the Beckett Kroger Plaza.

Herdman opened KeyStop, LLC to offer area consumers and businesses owners a place to have their keys professionally made and their lock problems solved.

It’s a family business that offers a wide variety of locksmith services. They will get you in your home or car if you locked out. They can change your keys (locks) if you just purchased a new home or started a business. KeyStop is your one stop key shop.

For over four decades Mr. Herdman has served hundreds of area businesses, churches, schools and homeowners with craftsmanship, integrity and honesty. KeyStop owns the latest computer operated key machines and stocks common and vintage keys you won’t find anywhere else. “Precision made keys the first time,” said Mr. Herdman.

“West Chester desperately needed a retail locksmith store to provide expert services, advice and give consumers a choice other than the phony locksmiths working the area,” said Herdman. “Consumers now have a hometown locksmith they can turn to and trust.”

Herdman describes his locksmith business as part locksmith shop and part machine shop. Herdman said, “If we don’t have it we can get it, if we can’t get it we can probably make it.”

KeyStop also displays two of Mr. Herdmans inventions; SmartLoc self changing locks for business owners and WallHolster quick retrieve handgun safe. SmartLoc cylinders are engineered to retrofit into most commercial locks and permit the business owner to change his own keys in mere seconds. SmartLoc can often be installed for less than the cost to hire a locksmith. “Business owners can now change keys faster than they can change a light bulb” Herdman said. “No locksmith required.” Further savings are achieved by simply reusing the old set of keys the next time the locks need changing. It’s a remarkable innovation in key-change technology that will bring true value and savings to any business or facility.

Herdman of West Chester, has a 40-year career as a locksmith and award-winning inventor. In 2007, Mr. Herdman was recognized by the History Channel as one of the top twenty-five independent inventors in America. He holds ten U.S. patents and has several more domestic and foreign patents pending. If you have never met a professional inventor, stop in, I’m confident he will be glad to share with you his latest innovation.
