Yale

Yale Lock began around 1840 under Linus Yale Sr. in Stamford, CT. It specialized in handmade high security bank locks at the time. In 1852, Linus’ son joined the operation. In 1868, Henry Towne joined forces with Yale Jr. to become Yale & Towne. By 1894, Yale & Towne was a large name in the hardware industry and they purchased Branford Lock Works, incorporating some of their designs into their catalogues. In 2000, Assa Abloy acquired Yale but continues to produce under the Yale name.
