Yale

Yale electronic lock is one of the oldest international brands in the world, and also one of the most famous brands in the lock industry. The development history of Yale not only marks the great innovation of Yale lock in its evolution process, but also epitomizes the development of the whole lock industry.

Yale originated in the colonial period of the United States. The Yale family decided to emigrate from North Wales to the new world. Several generations later, around 1840, Nanas Yale the elder began to design and manufacture a series of high safety locks in the Yale lock shop in Newport, New York. His strong point is the expensive manual bank lock.

In 1850, nanus Yale's son joined his father's enterprise, improved his father's cylindrical marble lock and obtained a new patent, known as the contemporary lock expert. In 1862, little Yale introduced the monitoring bank lock, marking the change from key lock to dial lock or number lock. The principle contained in its monitoring lock has become the national standard of number lock.

In addition, little Yale also carried out lock experiments on the basis of the mechanical device first adopted by the ancient Egyptians more than 4000 years ago. In 1861, Yale won a patent. In 1865, Yale finally created his most important invention, Yale cylinder lock. Nanas Yale Jr. changed the lock industry forever with his many breakthrough inventions.

The company was founded in 1868 with only 35 employees. At the beginning of the 20th century, the company expanded globally with more than 12000 employees. By acquiring joint ventures in the 20th century, Yale lock has become a world-famous brand.

In August 2000, Yale was acquired by Assa Abloy group, which has become an important part of the world's leading door opening solutions.

In 2008, Yale cooperated with irevo, the leader of Korean digital electronic lock, to integrate advanced electronic digital technology into lock products and develop Yale electronic digital lock. Yale electronic digital door lock inherits the core tenet of Yale brand, combines with the advanced electronic digital technology of South Korea, and brings people safer, more convenient and more fashionable door lock solutions.
