Australian Made

Keeping it local, proudly Australian

An international leader in the design and production of mechanical and electromechanical locking and unlocking products, ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions is one of Australia’s most successful and innovative hardware manufacturers.

We carefully design and manufacture these Australian made products to meet the requirements of the Australian commercial market and various Australian Standards. This includes access and mobility, passive fire protection, safe egress, security, durability and corrosion resistance. Some product lines also hold Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and LBC Red List Free declarations. With our local manufacturing and optimised processes, we can customise products in a matter of days, making our Australian made products the ideal choice for complex construction projects. 

While in the short term it can be more affordable to manufacture some items offshore, there are other costs that come from relying on an international supply chain such as the timely availability of required low volume variations that are needed to serve the end-user applications best. We can not only provide those variations, we can do it quickly and competitively.

Due to our long reputation of producing quality Australian Made products, we have been successful in winning major security contracts around the country, including with the Victorian Police Complex, The Concord Hospital, Cairns Convention Centre, as well as the newly opened Burwood Brickworks Shopping Centre, which is currently in the process of being recognised as the most sustainable shopping centre in the world.

Local manufacturers can provide appropriate market solutions that consider Australia’s standards and regulations with no compromises.  Globally manufactured solutions mean many compromises, as they leave little scope for functional consideration of a relatively small population-based market such as Australia.

Lockwood is proud to be producing innovative and home-grown products for the Australian commercial market.
