Profile
Mike Cogan started to work in the “lock” business during his teen years when he worked for a Philadelphia locksmith company. Mike found the business fascinating. After serving with distinction in Vietnam in the US Navy as a jet engine mechanic, and later at the Naval Air War Center in Warminster, Mike received his BA from Temple University.
He started Mike’s Lock Shop as a mobile locksmith with one truck in 1972. Six months later he opened his first store in Warminster on Street Road. Within a few years he moved to a larger, more visible location on York Road. In 1980 he moved just one block to the current location. Mike built the business through involvement in the community.
