Robblee’s Total Security Inc. Turns 100, Offers Advice on Longevity in Security
Robblee’s Total Security Inc., a Washington state full-service, residential, commercial and industrial security company, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
The company began in 1913, founded as J.A Robblee & Company by James A. Robblee and his brothers in a shop that sold and repaired tires for bicycles, and an exciting new invention — the automobile. In 1918, William A. Robblee, a locksmith, joined his five brothers, beginning a safe and lock division. The business continued to grow and in 1947, right after WWII, William H. and his son-in-law Thomas H. Patterson bought out the safe and lock division so it could more efficiently serve within the budding security industry.
