About FlyLock Security Solutions
FlyLock Security Solutions (formerly The Flying Locksmiths) is a commercial security and locksmithing franchise serving businesses across the United States. The brand began in 1946 as a Boston locksmith shop and remains family-owned across three generations of the McMenimon family, with headquarters in Braintree, Massachusetts. Franchising began in 2015.
The business has evolved well beyond traditional locksmithing into commercial access control, door security and hardware, CCTV and video surveillance, building intercoms and ADA-compliant door operators. Franchisees primarily serve commercial clients such as property managers, schools, healthcare and government facilities, retailers and multi-family housing, alongside some residential and automotive locksmith work.
Each franchise runs a mobile, van-based service team within an exclusive territory. The brand positions itself as one of the larger connected networks of access control and door security professionals in the country, with a footprint of roughly ninety locations that pairs a long locksmithing heritage with modern electronic security.
Franchisee Support
Franchisees receive training from the operations, national sales and marketing teams, plus online classes for owners and technicians in locksmithing and access control. Day-to-day work runs on FlyLock's proprietary 'Flight Control' scheduling software and a Salesforce CRM, with a national call center handling customer inquiries and job scheduling. A Director of National Sales connects owners to a regional sales manager and the National Sales Partners network, and marketing covers online listings, design and pay-per-click ads. Resale buyers should confirm what onboarding and Flight Control and Salesforce access transfer at handover.
Brand Accolades & Awards
The Flying Locksmiths has been recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine as a Top 500 Franchise from 2017 to 2022, highlighting its strong market presence and consistent performance. In 2022, the franchise earned the #302 spot on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 list.
Industry / Market
The US access control market is estimated at roughly $3.9 billion in 2026 and is forecast to grow about 4% a year to $4.8 billion by 2031 (Mordor Intelligence). Demand is supported by the ongoing shift from mechanical keys to electronic access control, rising commercial security expectations and ADA accessibility requirements that increasingly apply across states. Because commercial doors, locks and access systems need service and upgrades regardless of the economic cycle, the category is often viewed as resilient. For resale buyers, local commercial construction activity and the density of business accounts shape territory demand.
Ideal Owner
The Flying Locksmiths ranked in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 across multiple years from 2017 to 2022, most recently at #302 in 2022, and has been recognized as a Franchise Business Review Top Franchise. The brand carries decades of locksmith and access-control experience, holds national accounts with well-known companies, and its technicians can earn AAADM certification for automatic door systems. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's reputation, including local reviews, commercial referral sources and standing with existing accounts.
