With more than one million locations in the United States alone, it’s not hard to understand why so many of our service calls revolve around the restaurant industry. According to the National Restaurant Association, on a typical day, the restaurant industry does approximately $1.9 billion in sales. That is a crazy amount and to think […]
Read moreGuys, it’s 2016! I shouldn’t be that excited, but I am. I like a new year. I like the fresh start. It’s a clean slate, and what better way to start off a clean slate than by reviewing a little lock terminology? Mortise and cylindrical locks are two of the most common locks used in […]
Read moreThe high here in Nicholasville, Kentucky today is 35 degrees. Right now, as I look outside, there’s a flurry of white flakes. I’m sitting at my desk wrapped up in a giant, cozy sweater and a fleece blanket because, to me, anything below 70 degrees is unacceptable and if someone offered me a house in […]
Read moreIt’s time for a chat. You might not like it, but it’s necessary. Let’s all make a commitment that we’re going to be nicer to our door and lock hardware this year. It seems like such a simple thing. We’ve heard it so many times, but when March rolls around we see it: Debris-filled strikes, […]
Read moreAs hard as it is to believe, we’ve made it to final week of 2015. And while we could talk about 2015 being the year the world brought us the scam that was “hoverboards,” (they aren’t hoverboards! There’s no hovering! There’s only rolling!

Read moreAs much as I want to talk about nothing but candy canes and all of the goodies Santa’s bringing this year, I suppose it’s best I at least treat you all to one lock-focused blog post this week. It’s been awhile since we touched on mag locks so I thought it would be nice to […]
Read moreDear LockNet, I got your letter last week. (Little late, but Whitney wrote it so it wasn’t a surprise.) I’ll do my best with most of your requests and, while this might be a little unusual, I actually have a question for you. First, let’s get this confession out of the way: I don’t actually […]
Read moreIt’s December and whether we like it or not our calendar is filled to the brim with holiday parties and events. Just last week I had to juggle four different events around that were all holiday based. Thankfully, since my parents live down the street from me (literally – 13 houses) they were able to […]
Read moreDear Santa, I know you’re super busy this time of year and, technically, this letter might be a little late. Let’s be honest, I’ve never been early to anything in my life. It’s part of my charm. I’m writing this letter on behalf of LockNet. First, we want peace on earth. Secondly, we want all […]
