Alford Safe & Lock Co. has been a trusted name in security for over 75 years. Our journey began in 1946 when the Alford brothers moved from Texas to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. They opened their locksmith shop at 1728 Main Street, laying the foundation for what would become a cornerstone of the Baton Rouge community.
In the 1950s, the business relocated to its current location at 1758 Government Street, where it continues to serve customers across southern Louisiana.
During the 1970s, Edgar Alford retired and his son, Gary Alford, took over the family business. Under Gary’s leadership, Alford Safe & Lock Co. continued to grow, earning a reputation for reliability and top-notch customer service. Gary was deeply connected to the Baton Rouge community, and he dedicated his life to both the business and the people it served.
In May 2021, Gary passed away surrounded by his loved ones. In the wake of his passing, his wife, Mary Alford, stepped in to lead the company alongside their grandson, Brayden Wilkinson. Together, Mary and Brayden proudly carry on the family legacy, staying true to the values that have defined the business for decades.

They are the Best of the Best! I had 10 locks rekeyed and Joseph came out close to noon the same day I called to help me. He was pleasant and knew what he was doing. He did the job in a reasonable amount of time and fixed some problems he noticed. I am so glad I called Alford Safe and Lock for my job and getting Joseph was a big bonus!
Came to get keys cut. Helpful service persons. Cute selection of blanks. Saw lots of other inventory. Would be a good place to get a gun safe or a safe that looks like a Bible. Cash transaction, a little bit of a wait but friendly good ol' days mom & pop vibe
We worked with this company to install a new set of locking hardware for one of our clients on a very tight deadline, and they exceeded our expectations. Their communication was excellent, their professionalism was top-notch, and their team clearly knows their trade. The work was completed quickly and correctly the first time.
We’re very glad we found them and will absolutely use them again for future projects in the area. Highly recommend — truly the A-Team of locksmiths.
