A to Z Lock & Safe - Early Days on the Emerald Coast

The Beginning

1973 — Where It All Started

A to Z Lock & Safe is a family-owned and operated locksmith service dedicated to securing Florida's Emerald Coast. With over half a century of experience, we take pride in being the premier locksmith provider in the region.

The legacy began in 1973 when William "Bill" Zuppa opened our first location in Mary Esther. What started as a small family operation quickly earned a reputation for dependability and skill, serving a tight-knit coastal community with everything from home lockouts to commercial rekeying.

Growth & Expansion

Building a Legacy

Bill passed the torch to his son, Joe Zuppa, who steered the company towards innovation. In 1986, A to Z Security & Sound was born, marking a new era of integrated security service. In 2001, the business moved to its current headquarters at 124A Mary Esther Blvd.

Government contracts, GSA certifications, and advanced training placed A to Z among the most qualified locksmith services in the Southeast—while never losing the personal touch that set the business apart from day one.

Today

50+ Years & Going Strong

In 2022, Joe and his business partner, Brian Stone, made the decision to retire and sell A to Z Lock & Safe and A to Z Security & Sound. The new owners, Caleb Harmon and Rich Tiberg—entrepreneurs with backgrounds in mechanical engineering—grew the company by joining us with Resorts Locksmith Services.

This gives us three brick-and-mortar locations along the Emerald Coast: Mary Esther, Destin, and Santa Rosa Beach—and we continue to service the Panama City Beach area. We look forward to providing our customers with an even more comprehensive range of security solutions and locksmith services.
