Doors, locks, and security services platform for retail and restaurant chains
LockNet operates a dual-sided business—supply and service—for retail and restaurant chains across North America, backed by a 30-year-old VB.NET codebase now being modernized through C# and cloud migration. Active projects center on legacy system evolution (2M+ lines of VB.NET), third-party API integration, and analytics infrastructure (Power BI, SSRS), while pain points cluster around production scheduling and data integrity, suggesting internal tooling strain as the company scales field operations and reporting. Hiring momentum is decelerating, with ops and construction roles dominating placements.
LockNet supplies doors, frames, hardware, and locking systems to retail and restaurant chains, while operating a nationwide locksmithing and installation service network. The company serves corporate purchasing departments and general contractors, offering single-point-of-contact management across new construction, facilities maintenance, and loss prevention. Operations span 8,500 technicians across North America, delivering both supply-chain logistics (products to locations) and field services (locksmith, repair, installation). Reporting and regional analytics are core to customer value—customers gain visibility into which products fail by location. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Nicholasville, Kentucky, LockNet is privately held.
