How It Started – Caps for Carlie A while back I wrote about the generosity of one of our LockNet employees, Lena Thornton. Lena has been a Technical Service Representative for LockNet since 2007. She and her friend, Tonya Bruner, organized Caps for Carlie in order to collect hats and t-shirts for children battling cancer. […]
Read moreOk, I admit it(proudly). I am one of those “camp kids” that has about ten million stories that start with, “This one time at camp…” I was fortunate enough growing up to spend my summers at Camp Merrie-Woode (the most beautiful place on earth), an all-girls summer camp, nestled in the mountains of North Carolina.

Read moreAfter months of planning and an exhausting few days of moving, we are excited to announce that LockNet’s warehouse has a new place to call home: 120 Capital Court. Our shipping, production, and purchasing departments are busy settling into their new digs as I write this post. I can all but hear the collective sigh […]
Read moreI can’t believe it. The time has come – I’m working on the final post I will ever write on LockBytes. I’ve grown to love not only the world of blogging and digital media but the door and hardware industry as a whole – I never thought I would utter those words, but alas, you guys […]
Read moreAs I was editing this week’s newsletter I came across a pretty awesome number. 117. By itself it isn’t all that impressive of a number, but when you add meaning, its wow-worthiness increases ten-fold. My marketing second-half, Katie, and I wrote 117 blog posts in 2013. 117! Maybe I haven’t achieved my intended shock and awe effect; […]
Read moreAs you can tell from Kaitlyn’s review of the evolution of the LockNet brand, 2013 was a big year for us. We are growing like gang-busters and had a record breaking year – we have all of you to thank for this success. None of our achievements would have been possible without our excellent employees […]
Read moreI started working with LockNet as a temp in 2011. After my temporary contract expired, the staffing agency I worked through encouraged me to apply for a temp-to-hire position as LockNet’s administrative assistant. I worked in this position for a little over a year before making my transition to sales and marketing. This transition was […]
Read moreLike many companies, LockNet comes from humble beginnings – we started in the basement of Lockmasters in 1993. Around 1995 when the LockNet employee headcount was up to a mighty six, the decision was made to part ways with Lockmasters and venture out on our own. We made the big move and settled into the […]
Read moreEvery year LockNet chooses a charitable giving project during the holidays, and every year it seems to get more awe-inspiring. This year could be hard to top after the countless rolls of wrapping paper, dozens of toy aisles walked, and three truckloads of neatly wrapped packages were hauled away to the homes of 20 families […]
Read moreLockNet employees are gearing up for the holiday season. Secret Santa is underway and our holiday lunch is tomorrow (Kaitlyn will tell you all about it on Thursday).
