| About Us |
Accurate Lock and Hardware began in 1960 as a division of Accurate Tool and Die manufacturing specialty locks as a sub-contractor for Yale and Towne. In July of 1972, Accurate Lock and Hardware was founded as an independent lock manufacturer.
From humble beginnings, the company has evolved into the premier manufacturer of custom architectural hardware products. In the mid-to-late 1970s Accurate developed and furnished institutional locks specifically designed to retrofit existing preparations yet function to meet new code requirements. In fact, in response to the infamous Attica prison riot, Attica officials commissioned Accurate to manufacture custom high security locks. Within the next few years, Accurate introduced a robust dead latch, followed by a narrow backset mortise lock.
In the early 1990’s we began manufacturing our 9100 series mortise lock which has become the lock of choice among OEM trim manufacturers. Since then, we have expanded our product line to include interior mortise locks, pocket door locks and trim, pivot and Harmon hinges, and, most recently, heavy duty screen door locks.
All the while, Accurate has been manufacturing custom architectural hardware for historical restoration projects at some of the finest addresses in the world including the White House, Ellis Island, numerous State Capitols, and the House of Commons in Canada. In one instance, architects visited from Japan after searching around the world for a manufacturer who could replicate old knobs to work with modern locking devices. Accurate solved their problem and manufactured custom hardware for the Diet Building in Tokyo.
On a daily basis, Accurate sales people provide solutions to challenging hardware scenarios: from mounting an exit device with decorative trim to furnishing a 36" backset mortise lock, extending cylindrical locksets, rebuilding an ancient lock, or even refinishing existing hardware to a unique finish. We have built a reputation as a company eager to satisfy all of our customer’s needs. Quite simply, we believe our customers deserve the very best in quality and service on every order, with no exceptions! |
