When choosing mechanical security, what the customer can’t see is as important as what they can. Every time mechanical security locks a door or other opening — at home or work — a keyholder puts their trust in the technology, ingenuity and heritage of its manufacturer.
ASSA ABLOY’s history of inventing locks and keys stretches back more than a century. Since the invention of the pin tumbler by Linus Yale, ASSA ABLOY Group brands have led the way in developing locking technologies that inspire customers’ trust. The Euro Profile Cylinder — first patented by an ASSA ABLOY company in 1928 — has become the gold standard in mechanical door security in Europe and beyond.
