About our founder

Chris C. Thatcher 9/26/28 – 8/19/19

Chris founded Bankers Security in 1981 at the age of fifty-three.  What started as a vault door and bank lock company, quickly evolved into a full service bank equipment company servicing the Midwest. He loved to teach and share his skills with anyone that wanted to learn.  Peers and Bankers have referred to him as a security expert. One of his many talents was working on vault door time locks.  These skills are similar to that of a watch/clockmaker.   Companies from across the United States would send Chris their time locks for repair and to be serviced. We are proud and honored to carry on his vision.  His legacy lives on with two generations owning the company after his retirement in 1997.
