FlyLock Security Solutions
Electronic Access Control Industry Specialists

Tradition and innovation are often seen as opposites, but FlyLock Security Solutions views them as complementary and mutually beneficial.

“Our company, rooted in the traditional art of locksmithing, began as The Flying Locksmiths in 1946 and has always been about more than just locks and keys. It is a legacy of installing confidence, trust, reliability, and a deep understanding of security as an art form. This tradition has been our solid foundation, our identity, and a continuous source of inspiration,” says Brett McMenimon, Chief Operating Officer.

The McMenimon brothers and their franchisees have carved a unique path in the access control market by embracing time-honored practices and cutting-edge technologies, serving security integrators and end users with expertise.

Their new brand, FlyLock Security Solutions, is revamping the electronic security sector. Skilled security specialists from FlyLock not only have access control expertise, but they also utilize decades of locksmith experience to ensure a secure and operational door and frame before adding electronic door hardware and integrating intercom systems, ADA-compliant door openers, security cameras, and other components. This expertise, being able to control an entire opening, ensures all clients’ door security systems are correctly specified, installed, and integrated.

The deployments of the security systems are preceded by site visits to assess security needs comprehensively. During these walkthroughs, technicians gather details for personalized security plans, engaging clients to understand their goals. FlyLock provides a range of choices, from basic access control to more advanced systems utilizing key cards, fobs, mobile credentials, door schedules, and audit trail capabilities while considering current and future needs, preferences, and operational costs.

After security assessments, FlyLock utilizes internally developed proprietary software, they call Flight Control, for estimating, scheduling, and integration with their National Account Managers for seamless coordination with end users. Flight Control serves as a vital communication link and represents a significant leap from traditional paperbased systems, ensuring precise tracking and execution of appointments.

FlyLock’s approach to access control systems is distinctive. Instead of fitting customers into a box, it builds solutions around them.

Collaborating with leading access control manufacturers, as well as partnering with national security integrators, FlyLock ensures clients receive the most suitable and personalized security solutions, effectively meeting their preferences and requirements.

“FlyLock Security Solutions’ key differentiator is a robust and technologically advanced network of locations across the U.S. At each branch, we employ Flight Control to guarantee consistency and reliability in our service. This uniformity is particularly beneficial for our national clients, who count on receiving consistent quality and streamlined experiences from us,” says Barry McMenimon, Chief Business Development Officer.

FlyLock showcased its effectiveness in a recent nationwide project for a major retail chain involving the installation of access controls and hardware in 6,000 stores. The challenge was to ensure uniformity and quality across all facilities. It successfully leveraged its franchise network and platform capabilities to coordinate the massive undertaking. Each franchise adhered to detailed protocols facilitated by Flight Control’s centralized scheduling and tracking, with no detail overlooked.

The project not only focused on installing new systems but also emphasized upholding a high standard of service. FlyLock security technicians consistently delivered quality work, showcasing the company’s organizational skills and commitment to excellence.

Such successes are attributed to its team’s expertise and dedication, their network of franchises nationwide is supported by an operations team of door hardware and access control experts, along with client service professionals, to ensure every customer receives knowledgeable and practical security solutions.

FlyLock Security Solutions’ resourceful team thrives in a family-oriented workforce culture, maintaining a close-knit atmosphere. This approach fosters a sense of belonging and responsibility, evident in the high service quality. The company believes in balancing hard work with a fun environment, motivating employees to excel while enjoying their work.
