Early in 1920, the company moved to downtown Tacoma where their commercial clientele were located. Over the years, the business relocated several times and continued to prosper and grow. In 1930, James died and the remaining brothers incorporated and renamed the company Six Robblee's, Inc.
After World War II, the younger brothers still working at Six Robblee's wanted to expand into other areas and discontinue the safe and lock work. In 1947, William Robblee wished to retire but wanted to see the safe and lock work continue as he had worked so hard to promote that entity of the business. He encouraged his son, William H. (Bill) Robblee and his son-in-law, Thomas H. (Pat) Patterson to buy out the Safe and Lock Division of Six Robblee's, Inc. from the corporation. They did this and renamed the new company Robblee's Safe and Lock Company. They remained in the present location and Six Robblee's again relocated.
In 1962, Robblee's Safe & Lock Company was expanding and growing and needed more room. The Company was moved to the comer of 9th and Pacific Avenue. The store was years ahead of what most typical locksmith stores looked like at that time.
