Yale locks and security products

Yale is one of the world's oldest and most respected names in the lock industry, with a heritage dating back to colonial America. The brand began in the mid-19th century when Linus Yale Sr. and Jr. revolutionized security with the invention of the pin-tumbler lock. This innovation fundamentally changed domestic and commercial security worldwide, establishing Yale as a global standard for protection.

Today, Yale is a cornerstone brand of the ASSA ABLOY Group, a Swedish conglomerate that is the world's leader in door opening solutions. Manufacturing is distributed globally across several regions, including the United States, China, and various European countries, to serve its vast international market. The brand continues to evolve from mechanical hardware into the digital age, leading the market in smart locks and integrated home security systems under its Swedish-based parent company ownership.
