Owner Dell Nuzman was presented a banner by Chamber Board member David Esplin on Wednesday, Aug. 15. For 16 years, AM/PM Keys has been serving Spanish Fork with its lock and key needs. Nuzman's father, Mark, became a locksmith simply because he wanted to learn more about it. He enjoyed it so much, he started AM/PM Keys in 1991. Dell joined his dad four years later, and took over the business three years ago at his dad's retirement. "We do a lot of commercial work," Nuzman said. "We replace locks — we help with lockouts — we re-key anything." But, Nuzman admitted, the thing he enjoys most is making key copies. "I don't know why, but I just love doing it," he said. As a locksmith, Nuzman often rescues motorists and homeowners who are locked out of their houses and cars. And he gets a lot of crazy calls. "Too many," he said. "At least one a week." He has had to unlock a policeman's car, and one time, a woman called saying that the remote on her keychain no longer worked. "Do you have your keychain?" Nuzman asked. "Yes," came the reply. "Well, why don't you try your key," he said. "Oh, they open the door, too?" Nuzman is also a certified safecracker who enjoys refurbishing older safes. The business offers more than keys, however. AM/ PM Keys has a full line of prospecting equipment including metal detectors and gold pans. "It started as a hobby," Nuzman said. "It still is just a hobby. I grew up listening to dad talk about prospecting, but he was too busy to really get into it." So Nuzman gave it try. His enthusiasm was infectious and soon, his father Mark got involved. Recently, Nuzman added paintball supplies to his inventory. Not only does AM/ PM fill CO2 tanks, they carry guns, masks and ammo. Located at 45 East 400 North, AM/PM Keys can be reached at 798-1738. ^ Looking for Around Town? See B2 J These are your advertising $ $ $ going to waste, because you didn't buy this ad.
