Holmlund Mobile Lock & Key

Holmlund Lock & Key service was started in the 1980's in Miles City, Montana. The original operating premise was a simple one: provide the very highest quality lock and key services to the residents of Miles City at fair prices. The reputation for quality of service grew quickly, as did the list of services offered. As their sterling reputation for unparalleled service and expertise grew, so did the Holmlund Lock & Key service area.

First it was ten miles outside of Miles City, then twenty miles, then fifty miles - and by the year 2000, Holmlund Lock & Key was getting regular calls from as far away as Billings. Needless to say, travel was becoming an issue - for two reasons: 1) it meant that the locksmiths could work on fewer issues every day and 2) the customers' invoices had to include travel, which lead to higher costs.

Holmlund Lock & Key set about to eliminate both problems.

While there were many steps included in making Holmlund Lock & Key a more attractive alternative for both commercial and residential locksmith work in a much larger area, the four primary steps were 1) involve more family members with existing areas of expertise that supported growth; such as bookkeeping, scheduling and equipment maintenance 2) apprentice fledgling locksmiths to become highly skilled craftsmen able to tackle the most complex and demanding locksmith tasks 3) open service hubs throughout eastern Montana - thus reducing travel time, customer costs and providing faster service and 4) design, have built and fully equip the most sophisticated mobile locksmith vehicles possible.
