History

Established in 1959.

ARO Lock & Key was originally started in downtown New Port Richey back in 1959 by a man named Chuck Angelroth who later sold to Norman Ritz back in 1981. Because of changes in downtown New Port Richey, the business moved to Gulf Drive and Crafts Street. Mr. Ritz was getting ready to retire and found an up and coming locksmith who was eager to learn the business and follow in his footsteps, so he sold the business and remained on staff.

The building that they were in was falling apart and the rent was going up so when an opportunity came up to move into a bigger building, the new owner took it and merged two companies to better serve their customers. It has been a year in the new location and we are definitely growing! ARO continues to pride themselves on growth and education, focusing on what is right for the customer.
