Dave Cochran of Decatur Lock and Key (Decatur’s oldest business) is retiring Friday after 28 years of faithful service. Dec Lock and Key will remain in business, same owners and great service.
Doh…We just missed him by a couple weeks. About to have all the locks in our house replaced/re-keyed after a renovation. Happy to call on his successors, though.
And I did not know that it was the oldest business in town. I kind of assumed that title was held by Sharian. Interesting.
I will miss Dave. I go in once every couple of months for this or that, and he is always patient, kind, and humorous. He’s made going to Decatur Lock & Key something I look forward to “having” to do, rather than dread.
I’ve always had a wonderful experience at Decatur Lock and Key. And Dave was always kind, calm and efficient. I wish you well Dave. I hope you have a wonderful time in retirement and thank goodness the shop will stay open! Wouldn’t take my key and security issues anywhere else,.
Wow! I originally thought he was the owner.

The only time I had to use these guys, once years ago, they were great. Glad they will still be around. Happy retirement!
Best wishes to Mr. Cochran, and so glad Dec Lock & Key will stay around–Decatur is very lucky to have a genuinely local locksmith in town.
