FlyLock announces strategic partnership with ESA

QUINCY, Mass.—FlyLock, a provider of access control solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with the Electronic Security Association (ESA) to arm technicians with training and to enrich services offered by its growing network of nearly 100 franchise locations across the United States.

Through this partnership, ESA becomes FlyLock’s trusted provider of education, certification, and business resources. FlyLock franchise owners and their teams will have the opportunity to adopt ESA’s National Training School programs - widely recognized as the gold standard for security and life safety training, according to FlyLock.

In addition, ESA will serve as a business development partner, delivering tools, business insurance, and guidance designed to help FlyLock locations build profitability, increase recurring monthly revenue (RMR), and strengthen customer relationships.

FlyLock will hold its annual franchisee event in tandem with ESA’s Electronic Security Expo, June 1-4, 2026, in Irving, Texas, offering business owners in-person touchpoints with the organization and its membership.

Franchisees are encouraged to stay for ESX’s rich business development content, specializing in RMR growth. Programming specifics are currently in development.

“We’re excited to partner with ESA, whose expertise in training and business support will help accelerate FlyLock’s growth and ensure our franchisees are equipped with the highest level of industry knowledge,” said Barry McMenimom, chief business development officer. “This collaboration enhances our ability to deliver both cutting-edge security solutions and trusted professionalism to our customers.”

FlyLock joins a cohort of over 1,500 integrator members of the Electronic Security Association delivering access control, intrusion, video surveillance, fire, and professional monitoring services to homes, businesses, schools, municipalities, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, and more.

“ESA is proud to support FlyLock in its mission to innovate and expand,” noted ESA Chairman and COO of Doyle Security, Kevin Stone. “By equipping FlyLock franchisees with proven training and business development resources, we are strengthening not only their success, but the success of our industry as a whole. We welcome them to the ESA community and look forward to our collaboration.”

The partnership reinforces both organizations’ commitment to raising industry standards, advancing workforce development, and driving sustainable growth in the electronic security and life safety sector, the joint announcement stated.
