QUINCY, Mass. — Access control solutions provider FlyLock has announced a strategic partnership with the Electronic Security Association (ESA) to arm technicians with training and to enrich services offered by its network of nearly 100 franchise locations across the United States, according to a joint announcement.
Through this partnership, ESA becomes FlyLock’s provider of “industry-leading education, certification and business resources,” the announcement says. FlyLock franchise owners and their teams will have the opportunity to adopt ESA’s National Training School security and life safety training programs.
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,” according to the joint announcement.
FlyLock will hold its annual franchisee event in tandem with ESA’s Electronic Security Expo, scheduled for 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 business development content, specializing in RMR growth. Programming specifics are currently in development.
