This month’s winner of the
Locksmith lottery, sponsored
by ABUS is Caversham based
Locksmith Melanie Mahabir.
»»MELANIE, WHO HAS BEEN
trading as Lady Kamalock since
qualifying in 2012, has won this
month’s lottery prize of £75.00
towards goods from Duffells’
online ordering site.
Melanie’s career choice to
become a Locksmith started
after her nephew managed to
lock them out of the home.
Melanie had previously
spent 18 years taking care
of her sister’s four children.
Unfortunately, from an early
age Melanie’s sister suffered
a severe mental illness and
Melanie stepped in to take care
of her children.
During this time, Melanie
took her degree in TV
and Media, assisting in
the creation of a short
film based on the block
buster movie – Lord of the
Rings. The movie can still
be viewed on You Tube

After finishing her degree,
and still looking after all four
children, Melanie sought out
funding to aid her to attend
an intense three day UKLA
course and gain herself a
qualification to trade as a
professional Locksmith.
Four years later, Melanie’s
business, Lady Lamalock
services domestic and
commercial businesses in and
around the Caversham area,
with an occasional interesting
job, such as the time when she
was asked to open a property
LOCKSMITHJOURNAL.CO.UK | JAN/FEB 2016
Sponsored by Gretsch-Unitas
by bailiffs opposite Windsor
Castle.
Unfortunately, Melanie
had to wait until the end of a
procession by the ‘Changing
of the Guards’ before she
could attempt to open up the
property.
