The Flying Locksmiths

We are incredibly proud of having been a locksmith company for over 70 years. Years of locksmith experience and business education are two of the main components that create the framework of The Flying Locksmiths leadership team. It began with William McMenimon Sr., working out of his Jeep with one key machine in 1946. He was training to become a pilot and working as a locksmith, hence the reason for the unusual name. He opened a small key shop in Dorchester and later moved to Randolph, where the storefront is still located 30 years later.

When William retired, he passed the business down to his sons; Barry and Brad, who expanded the company into the highly recognizable Boston based business it is today! The third generation, have also joined the leadership team, infusing the well-established family business, with the convenience of modern technology.

The combination of generations has created a blend of old school ideals and new age tech, resulting in a mix that offers the newest products with a friendly neighborly smile. The mission of the company is simple: provide top of the line security, utilizing all means of communication, while staying true to family values.
