History

Established in 2007.

Owner Gary Lekan has been working in the locksmith industry for more than 30 years. After spending time as a technician and manager at security firms in the Bay Area, he established 1^st Lock & Security to bring his dedication to professionalism, craftsmanship and attention to detail to all types of security projects. «The locksmith trade allows me to combine many different skills,» says Mr. Lekan. «I’m a people person, but I also like working with my hands and doing detailed work that’s both enjoyable and necessary for my clients.»

1^st Lock & Security emphasizes the importance of customer service in every aspect of its operations. «The point of this business is to serve people and do whatever it takes to make sure they’re satisfied,» explains Mr. Lekan. «We give our customers what they want, but we also give them our professional opinion of what will make their projects complete.

Meet the Business Owner

Gary L.

Business Owner

I started in the locksmith business in Mount Prospect, Illinois in 1976, and moved to SF with them. I worked as a silicon crystal grower for a while, but decided to get back into the lock business in1979.

I worked for a local locksmith where I spent 25 years working my way up from an apprentice to the general manager. We had expanded the business from one shop to six and at the peak I was overseeing 65 employees. I decided to move on when things stagnated for me.

I became a general contractor and started a home improvement business initially, but the lock world called me back again and I started 1^st Lock and Security Technologies in ’07.

I bought a home in Mountain View back in ’87 and still enjoy living there. I spend my free time gardening, skiing and playing golf. I take a pilates class every week at a local studio, work out, and enjoy cooking and eating out. I’m a avid Sharks and Giants fan and attend games frequently.
