Yale Lock and Home Security

Yale is one of the oldest locksmith brands in the world, tracing its roots back to 1840 in Newport, New York. Founded by Linus Yale Sr. and further innovated by his son Linus Yale Jr., the brand revolutionized the security industry with the invention of the pin-tumbler lock based on ancient Egyptian principles.

Today, Yale is a global leader in home security, offering everything from traditional padlocks to advanced smart locks and alarm systems. The brand undergoes manufacturing in various locations worldwide, including major facilities in China, the United States, and Europe, to support its massive international distribution network.

Since 2000, Yale has been a premier brand under the ASSA ABLOY Group, a Swedish conglomerate that is the world's largest lock manufacturer by volume. The ultimate ownership remains with ASSA ABLOY, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, ensuring that this historic American brand continues to lead the market with integrated digital and physical residential security solutions.
