About Coventry
The first house in the area later to become Coventry was built in 1709 by Nathaniel Root along the shores of Lake Wangumbaug, with the town officially given its current name in 1711 after the namesake town in the former ‘mother country’ of England.
Coventry has the prestigious honor of being the birthplace of Revolutionary War hero and martyr, Nathan Hale, who was born there in 1755, who joined the Connecticut militia upon the outbreak of war with Great Britain in 1775, and who was hanged on September 22, 1776, as an illegal combatant, reportedly stating the now-immortal line of “I regret that I have but one life to give for my country” before he met his fate on the gallows, aged just 21.
Hale also reportedly said: “I wish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary”.
We here at Sure Lock & Key honor the memory of a dedicated patriot like the late Mr. Hale whilst also wholeheartedly agreeing with his expressed later sentiment, wishing to provide the good people of both Coventry and the great state of Connecticut at large with not just any valuable public service but the very best possible 24-hour residential, commercial, and automotive locksmith service in the current marketplace.
