The Tribute

Twenty-one years ago, John C. Kitchings, founder of Collins Lock & Safe, looked at his wife and asked where she wanted to live. She took out a map, pointed to Brunswick and said with a smile, “Right there, by the beach.”

John Kitchings had been in the security field much of his adult life, spending over 20 years in burglar and fire alarm installation and sales. He later joined his brother, Les Kitchings, in his business at Dixie Lock and Safe Inc in Martinez, GA. Dixie Lock and Safe grew to three locations with Les’s sons, Leslie ‘Bo’ Kitchings (Aiken, SC) and David Lampp (Thompson, GA) overseeing the new sights and his youngest son, Mike Kitchings, would eventually take over the Martinez location.
John C. Kitchings

Les Kitchings, now retired, and John worked together for several years before John decided he wanted to have his own lock shop. John would not open near his brother’s or nephews’ offices. So after researching the area, John and his wife Joanne moved to Brunswick in May of 1994. Opening in June of 1994, Collins Lock & Safe has called the Golden Isles home ever since. 


Collins Lock & Safe is truly a family owned and operated business. Although John C. Kitchings passed away in November of 2005, it still operates with Joanne Kitchings, his wife, at the helm. Her daughter, Melissa Ridener, and son-in-law, David Ridener, along with seven other long-time, loyal employees, have continued the business that John had previously envisioned.


Collins Lock & Safe celebrated 20 years in the Golden Isles during the summer of 2014. We want to thank all of those who have made our progress possible. And as we continue to strive towards service excellence for our community, we look forward to serving the Golden Isles for many years to come.
