Anna Fouts, Anna’s Lock and Key

Anna’s Lock and Key, the mobile locksmithing service operated by Anna Fouts since April 2005, provides general locksmith service, master key systems, rekeying, residential hardware, door locks, installing locks, emergency home, auto and commercial lockouts, serving Arlington, Marysville and Stanwood, Washington.

Anna Fouts was nominated by her colleague, Michael Harold, owner of Harold Locksmithing. “I had just graduated from Foley Belsaw in 2012 and started reaching out to other locksmiths that might help me better learn the trade. Anna has been my mentor and trusted advisor in the locksmith trade every since. She has taught me everything the Foley Belsaw course didn't and more.  It's been an honor to know her and I am extremely thankful for all the knowledge her and her mentor Wayne have passed down to me. She is extremely deserving of this nomination,” Harold said.  

Thanking Harold for the nomination, Fouts added “Locksmithing can be a very lonely job sometimes, and locksmiths aren't, as a whole, very helpful to one another. I feel that when we help one another and refer customers to other legitimate locksmiths in our area when we are too busy to help someone, that's one less person who gets taken advantage of by a scammer.”
