Heritage is Important... With the determination to achieve the "American" dream of free enterprise, John Junkunc arrived from Hungary initially as a railroad machinist in the early 1900's. As history has demonstrated that necessity is the mother of invention, he invented the first dial combination lock because of frequently misplaced keys. It could be said that the combination lock places American Lock on the map of the Americans.
