Build a Career. Serve Your Team. Strengthen Your Community. Own the Outcome.
You’ve built experience. You’ve led people. You know how to drive results.
Now ask yourself:
Are you in a role that’s building your future—or just maintaining your present?
At Locke Supply, we develop leaders who serve others, build strong teams, impact their communities, and think like owners—because they are.
Who Is Locke Supply
Locke Supply Co. is a leading regional distributor of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC products, serving contractors, businesses, and communities across the region. Built on a foundation of hard work, customer service, and promoting from within, Locke has grown into a strong, stable company with a clear focus on long-term success.
What sets us apart is simple:
we’re employee owned.

Ownership Isn’t a Buzzword Here
At Locke Supply, our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is at the core of how we operate.
- You earn ownership over time at no cost to you

- You’re part of a company that operates with an owner’s mindset
- Success isn’t just measured, it’s shared
Most companies give you a job.
We give you the opportunity to build something that grows with you.

What We Do
The Locke Supply of Today: We are a growing Plumbing, Electrical, Heating & Cooling, employee owned distributor located in Oklahoma City, OK on a 45 acre complex supplying over 160 stores in a 5 state trade area to better serve you. Locke Supply maintains only the highest standards in quality of merchandise and people. Where We Came From: Don J. Locke (1923-2000), founder of Locke Supply Co, began work in the plumbing business in 1946 while attending the University of Oklahoma. He graduated in 1948 after serving 2 years in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Locke Supply Co. started on a shoestring in 1955 when Don and Wanda Locke opened a Wholesale Plumbing Supply outlet in Bartlesville, OK. It was a Mom and Pop operation with no additional employees. In late 1956 and early 1957 the Locke's moved their company to Oklahoma City, OK. The marketing philosophy of taking the store to the customers began to develop when the first branch opened in 1958. His customers quickly proved they liked this way of doing business and today there are over 160 store locations in a 5 state area and a 45 acre distribution center to supply them all. Don's initial vision and zeal have been the driving force behind making Locke Supply the most progressive supply house in the Southwest.
