What the Lock?: We are a family business with an extreme PASSION for what we do. We decided to pursue our love for this industry by playing and realizing the important skills and factors fit for what we wanted to portray and share. We believe in the skills you use. The ability to work with a team to accomplish a set goal. Being able to communicate well when distractions and focus try to get the better of us. Time management ticking us down to our deadlines. Paying attention to the things that may be minor details in life but can get us far if we choose to look at them. We didn't start this to "own a business". We didn't start this because we believed it would be easy. We LOVE what we do. Every bit of the hardships and questions that come with figuring out the business pieces.
