Glavin Security is one of the leading security and locksmith companies in the Chicagoland area and has been protecting businesses and families in the community for 50 years.

Family owned and operated, the company began as MJ Glavin Locksmiths and in 1978 was bought by Tom Glavin (the owner’s son) and his wife Pat. Headquartered at 1010 W. Jackson Blvd. in Chicago, the company provides professional locksmith services and other security protection programs to thousands of clientele in Chicago and the nearby suburbs. Whether you’re a large institution that needs ongoing high-security solutions, access control and security camera systems systems, or an individual that just needs a lock for your front door, Glavin Security Specialists are the experts in the field.

"We often get calls from people who have had several companies look at their problem without finding a solution," says owner Tom Glavin. "I like to think we’re the ‘Mayo Clinic’ of locksmiths, as we always take that extra step to satisfy our customers, no matter how large or small they might be."

Glavin Security offers a wide range of high-security products that go way beyond traditional locks. In fact, the number of new electronic devices are increasing everyday. To keep up with the industry, Tom and Pat Glavin employ more than twenty highly trained security professionals who are locally and nationally accredited in their field. They are also active members in the Chicago Police CAPS Program, the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), the Chief Engineers Association, and many, many other community-based and professional organizations.

"Many of our customers call us at a time of crisis," notes Glavin. "It is very important to us to have employees that are up-to-date on the latest products in our industry, while at the same time can service our clients with empathy, assurance and efficiency. We are in the business of protecting lives and property, and we take it very personally."

Customers of Glavin Security include Northwestern Memorial Hospital, The John Hancock Center, LaSalle Bank, the Daley Center and the John Buck Company, just to name a few.
