Values & History
FlyLock Security Solutions has over 75 years of experience, evolving from a one-man locksmith shop - The Flying Locksmiths - founded in 1946 by William McMenimon. What began with a key machine in a Jeep has grown into a nationwide leader in commercial security.

In 2016, the company rebranded and began franchising, offering advanced access control systems, CCTV, intercoms, and more. FlyLock is redefining what locksmiths can do - delivering top-tier security solutions with a personal touch and a mission rooted in trust, innovation, and family values.
