From property work to running Cairn
Before opening Cairn Lock & Key, Owen worked for a Las Vegas property management company as a locksmith. That meant working with the kinds of locks and doors found across managed properties. After eight years in that role, he started his own mobile locksmith business.
Owen continues to take responsibility for commercial property walkthroughs and planning master key systems. Other Cairn technicians handle service calls across the valley, so customers should not expect Owen to attend every appointment personally.

The standards behind Cairn's work
The company Owen founded uses a defined process for authorization, inspection, written pricing and completed work.
Know who is requesting access
Technicians verify identification and authority over the property before opening locks or making changes to access.
Inspect before quoting the work
The technician examines the hardware and explains the proposed work before presenting the price for approval.
Stop when the job changes
If additional work is needed, the technician stops and obtains approval for a revised written amount before continuing.
Leave the work checked
Keys, locks and door operation are tested with the customer. The completed job is documented on an itemized invoice.
