Custom Security Design & Application Support
Evaluate the equipment, dimensions, environment, users, access requirements and security level before selecting a locking solution.
In-House Assembly & Product Configuration
Assemble and configure locks, cylinders, cams, keying and related hardware around defined application requirements.
OEM Product Integration
Support manufacturers with lock selection, product configuration and integration into new or existing equipment platforms.
Key Management & Asset Control
Manage physical keys, credentials, tools, electronics and other shared assets with physical and electronic control systems.
Restricted Key Systems & Key Control
Improve control over replacement keys, duplication and key-set accountability with high-security keyways and physical key-control tools.
Installation & Deployment Support
Support implementation in the field from individual projects through larger security deployments and access-control programs.
National Account & Multi-Location Support
Develop consistent security standards, configurations and product programs across buildings, regions and larger operating networks.

Mechanical Security Through Electronic Asset Control
Product breadth matters because different access points require different solutions. Locking Systems can work across multiple technologies rather than forcing an application into one type of lock.
Mechanical Locks
Cam locks, switch locks, specialty locks and supporting hardware for equipment and enclosures.
Explore ProductsHigh-Security Locks
Cobra, Medeco and ABLOY technologies for stronger physical protection and controlled key duplication.
Compare BrandsElectronic Access
Intelligent-key and electronic lock technologies with programmable credentials and access accountability.
Explore Electronic LocksKey & Asset Management
Electronic cabinets, lockers, vaults and physical key-control systems for keys and shared assets.
Explore Asset Control
Configure the Product Around the Application
A locking product may need more than the correct cylinder diameter. Cam geometry, cylinder length, keying, mounting hardware, orientation and other details can determine whether the final installation actually works.
Locking Systems’ in-house capabilities allow products to be assembled, modified and configured around defined specifications before reaching the customer’s operation or production line.
- Lock assembly
- Cylinder configuration
- Keyed-alike and keyed-different systems
- Cam selection and configuration
- Mounting hardware
- Product modification
- Repeatable production configurations
Security Designed Into the Product
For equipment manufacturers, a locking system becomes part of the finished product. That means dimensions, assembly requirements, environmental conditions, keying and production consistency all matter.
Locking Systems can support the OEM process from initial lock selection and application review through repeatable product configuration for ongoing manufacturing.
OEM Support Can Include
- Application review
- Lock and cylinder selection
- Mechanical integration
- Cam and mounting requirements
- Security-level selection
- Key-system planning
- Product configuration
- Production-volume support
Electronic Access, Key Management & Asset Accountability
Some applications require greater visibility than a mechanical key alone can provide. Locking Systems supports electronic security technologies that can add programmable credentials, user-specific access and transaction accountability.
Electronic key cabinets, asset-control systems, intelligent locks and remote vaults extend that capability beyond doors and equipment to keys, tools, electronics and other critical assets.
One Partner Across the Security Project Lifecycle
The value of these capabilities is not simply having more products. It is the ability to connect product selection, configuration and implementation into a coordinated process.
Evaluate
Understand what needs to be protected, who needs access and how the application operates.
Select
Choose the appropriate mechanical, high-security or electronic security technology.
Configure
Match keying, cylinders, cams, hardware and other components to the application.
Deploy
Support implementation, installation and deployment across the required environment.
Support
Continue supporting replacements, additions, expansion and changing security requirements.
Scale a Security Standard Across the Organization
A solution that works at one location may need to be repeated across dozens or hundreds of access points. Larger organizations also have to consider replacement products, employee access, local operations and long-term consistency.
Locking Systems can support multi-location programs by helping define repeatable products and security configurations while maintaining the flexibility required by individual sites.
Multi-Site Capability
- Product standardization
- Restricted key-system planning
- Site-specific access structures
- Standardized configurations
- Deployment coordination
- Replacement-product support
- Program expansion
- Ongoing account support
