Proudly serving as locksmith to the Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and surrounding areas for more than 35 years. I specalize in residential and commercial locks of all types - mechanical locks, electrical mechanisms, self-locking doors, and more. A customized security solution, whether commercial or residential, requires a consultation and installation process based on knowledge and experience.
I have almost 40 years of experience as a locksmith and have been securing Chapel Hill since I moved here in 1980. I know the types of crimes that most often occur in this area and the techniques you can employ to prevent them. Unlike most locksmiths I do all the work personally and have never used employees or apprentices, so whatever job you hire me for, I handle it personally.
I earned a BA in Criminology at UConn in 1972 and moved to Chapel Hill in 1980 to start my own locksmith business. I operate a fully stocked service van to provide locksmith services efficiently and effectively. When I'm not doing that I pursue my hobby as a musician and play with several local bands.

I first met Pete Gamble nearly twenty years ago having lost the only existing key to the sprinkler room for my workplace, the local newspaper. I was immediately impressed by the breadth of his knowledge and his calm and professional manner and was back in business in minutes. Some years later while doing a renovation on my home, I had Pete upgrade all the door hardware and locks. Judging by the pry marks this thwarted more than one attempted home invasion. His knowledge and attention to detail really made the difference. Highest recommendation.

Rekeyed my house and outbuilding 5 sets total with matching deadbolts. All of them work with a single key now and the hardware he recommended was so much better than what the house came with. Great communicator and very interested in working with you on your particular needs and approaches with a total security mindset. Fine craftsmanship and obvious honesty and integrity.
