ABLOY
WebsiteABLOY is a Finnish lock manufacturer known for the disc detainer cylinder. The Abloy lock goes back to an invention by the precision mechanic Emil Henriksson in Helsinki in 1907. The Joensuu factory was established in 1968 to meet the growing worldwide demand, and Abloy later became part of the Swedish ASSA ABLOY group.
Range
- Cylinders and locks with the patented disc detainer mechanism
- Padlocks for high-security and harsh outdoor conditions
- Electromechanical locks and access control systems
- Master key systems for buildings and infrastructure
Good to know
ABLOY presents itself with the claim "for trust" and is used in public buildings, industry and infrastructure as well as in private homes. The disc mechanism differs from the common pin tumbler lock, and ABLOY products are usually installed by specialists. Because Abloy belongs to ASSA ABLOY, a Swedish group, the brand counts as European. For everyday padlocks and bicycle locks, other brands in this category may be more practical.
