About Arrow Lock
About Arrow Lock
Arrow Lock built its name in Brooklyn, New York, where it operated through the 1970s, 1980s, and into the early 1990s as a leading supplier to the locksmith trade. Its line of cylindrical knob locks, deadbolts, interchangeable core products, mortise locks, and door hardware became a standard reference point for commercial and institutional door hardware specifiers.
The company was later acquired by ASSA ABLOY, becoming part of the world's largest door opening solutions group, with a Canadian division also operating out of Markham, Ontario before that unit too joined ASSA ABLOY. Over time, Arrow Lock shifted away from manufacturing locking components at its own Brooklyn facility, moving production to sister companies within the ASSA ABLOY group.
The brand downsized from a 250,000 square foot Brooklyn manufacturing plant to a 60,000 square foot facility in Hicksville, New York, where it now focuses on assembly and warehousing. Buyers on ChatMRO can describe the lock function, finish, or interchangeable core format they need to find compatible Arrow Lock hardware.

Frequently asked questions
What lock types does Arrow Lock manufacture?
The line includes cylindrical knob locks, deadbolts, interchangeable core products, mortise locks, and related door hardware built for commercial and institutional applications. Buyers should specify the door function needed, such as storeroom, passage, or classroom.
Is Arrow Lock part of ASSA ABLOY?
Yes, Arrow Lock was acquired by ASSA ABLOY and now operates as part of that global door opening solutions group, along with a Canadian division formerly based in Markham, Ontario. Production has largely shifted to ASSA ABLOY sister facilities over time.
Where is Arrow Lock hardware assembled today?
Arrow Lock moved from a 250,000 square foot manufacturing plant in Brooklyn, New York to a smaller 60,000 square foot facility in Hicksville, New York, which now focuses on assembly and warehousing rather than full-scale production. This shift reflected a broader move to outsource component manufacturing to ASSA ABLOY sister companies.
Does Arrow Lock offer interchangeable core systems?
Yes, interchangeable core products have long been part of the Arrow Lock catalog, letting facility managers rekey locks in the field without removing the entire lock body. This remains a popular option for institutional and multi-tenant buildings.
