At Atomic Lock & Key, we bring more than locksmithing skills to the table — we bring real business experience, community ties, and a track record of reliability. Owner Nate Elder has spent years managing full restaurant operations, leading teams, and training new recruits through accredited programs, learning firsthand the importance of trust, accountability, and customer care. That same level of precision and professionalism now defines how every locksmith job is handled.

Before launching Atomic Lock & Key, Nate managed full books of commercial insurance for local auto dealerships and repair shops across the Tri-Cities. Through that work, he gained a deep understanding of liability, compliance, and the unique security needs of local businesses. As a longtime participant in WSIADA and ASA meetings, he’s built lasting relationships within the regional automotive and business community — relationships now strengthened by the hands-on locksmith services he provides.

Today, Atomic Lock & Key stands at the crossroads of experience and service — combining business know-how, insurance savvy, and advanced locksmithing skill to deliver solutions you can count on. From your home to your fleet, we understand how important secure access is — because we’ve been on every side of the lock.
