💔 A Message from The Master Locksmith Family 💔

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Greg Rash, founder of The Master Locksmith, who passed away unexpectedly on January 9, 2026.

For more than 30 years, Greg wasn’t just a locksmith in Sequim — he was part of the fabric of this community. If you stopped by the shop, chances are you didn’t just leave with help for a lock or a key. You left with a story, a laugh, advice you didn’t know you needed, and the feeling that someone genuinely cared.

Greg lived and worked in Sequim for the past 32 years, and he poured his heart into this town. He was deeply passionate about locksmithing, especially old locks and the history behind them, and his knowledge was unmatched. Other locksmiths regularly called him for advice, and he always made time to help — no ego, just generosity.

But more than his skill, Greg will be remembered for who he was. He could talk to anyone, anywhere, at any time — always with a smile and a laugh. He went out of his way to help friends, customers, and family whenever they were in need. He truly loved people, and that showed in everything he did.

Greg was a proud father, uncle, friend, and mentor. His passing leaves an immeasurable void not only for his family, but for the many people in this community who trusted him, relied on him, and called him a friend.

We are deeply grateful for the years of support, kindness, and friendship this community has shown Greg and The Master Locksmith. Sequim was his home, and serving this town was one of his greatest honors.

Details about a memorial service will be shared when available.

Thank you for keeping Greg’s family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
He will be deeply missed — and never forgotten.

💙

Liquidation Sale

Tomorrow, Saturday, January 10, we will be holding a liquidation sale from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM as we work through a difficult transition and begin closing out the business.

In addition to remaining inventory, we will also have display units, office furniture, fixtures, and other shop items available. More items will be added throughout the day, so we encourage you to stop by early.

All sales are final. Cash preferred.

Thank you to our community for the support, kindness, and loyalty you’ve shown us over the years — it has truly meant everything to us.

It is with an incredibly heavy heart that we share this news with our community:
The Master Locksmith will be closing its doors.

For nearly 30 years, this shop has been more than a place of business. It has been a place of trust, craftsmanship, and care, serving generations of families and businesses in our community. That legacy has always been built by one man’s dedication and heart.

Many of you know that Greg has been facing serious medical challenges since early October and has been hospitalized continuously since October 31st. He remains under medical care with no confirmed timeline for release or recovery. While Greg’s heart has never left this business, his health must come first.

Because Greg is The Master Locksmith, his absence has made it impossible to keep the business financially afloat. As time has passed, both business and personal bills have continued to accumulate, and despite every effort to hold on, we have reached a point where closing is the only responsible path forward.

This decision has not come easily.

The shop will remain open to the public through January 9, and we will continue serving the community to the very best of our ability until then. We are required to vacate the building by January 15, with moving days scheduled between January 11–15.

In the days ahead, we will begin offering select inventory at discounted prices, and we will share details as items become available. All display cases are for sale but cannot be picked up until the January 11–15 moving window.

Please note:

The personal lock collection that serves as our in-store museum will not be sold.
Shop machines and tools are not available for sale at this time.
We will no longer be able to accept special orders due to time constraints.
All sales will be final.

This chapter is closing, but the memories, relationships, and trust built over the years will always remain.

If you feel led, please keep Greg and our family in your prayers, or share a kind word, a note, or this message. Your encouragement means more than we can express.

To our customers, neighbors, and friends, thank you. Thank you for trusting us with your homes, your businesses, and your security for nearly three decades. Thank you for allowing The Master Locksmith to be part of your lives.

With gratitude and heavy hearts,
The Master Locksmith Family

Thank you.

We know that 2020 has been a difficult year. There is no denying it. We all have been looking forward to moving into 2021 to get away from this year. Sadly, there are a lot of small businesses who will not make it across that line. We know of too many companies that have had […]
