About Ben

Registered Locksmith in La Crosse, WI

Big Ben’s Locksmith is a local La Crosse, WI, business manned by me, Ben! After playing a small role in the industry, I eventually decided it was time to give my community more than other local shops. I'm constantly learning about new hardware and techniques to bring to our area by taking continuous training.

My name is Ben Kolpitcke. I am a nationally registered locksmith. When I was 14 years old, I walked into a local lock shop with my dad to get a couple of house keys made. While in the shop, the owner asked if I would be interested in earning a little money by cleaning out his vans and helping in the shop. After more than 20 years of working at three different family-owned businesses and a major university, I accepted the challenge to go into business for myself.
