Answer:Alex Trebek Question: What TV host entrusts his Security with Flam's?


There are hundreds of locksmiths so why does Alex Trebek choose Flam's Lock and Key?
Because'trustworthy people' trust 'trustworthy' companies and he is one person who does his homework.

If you watch Jeopardy you know that Alex likes to do home projects and likes to learn how to do it himself so here is the best story ever:

Years ago, when he was remodeling his own home, he asked Jack Flam, the owner of Flam's, to teach him how to re-key his own locks. Alex would come in daily when he was on hiatus from the show and Jack would teach him something new everyday. Sometimes he would work at the front counter and customers would walk in and just stare. Did they have double vision or was it really Alex? He even wore his Jeopardy USO jacket.

After a week of this Jack told Alex he asked too many questions and sent him to the back work room to work on his locks. One day we got really busy and I jokingly asked Alex to go into the showroom and help out. Guess what? He did, he went up to a customer who needed help with padlocks and she just stared at him in disbelief. Even with his Jeopardy jacket on, and the 'real' voice she was still not sure. When she finally asked him about the padlocks we heard Alex yell out to us that if we wanted his help we could at least tell him where they were.
We sent him back to his work bench.

I love this story!
