About Pamex
Pamex was founded in 1985 in Brea, California as a distributor of quality door locks serving the growing US building industry. The company has since relocated its headquarters to Chino, California while maintaining that original focus on dependable door hardware.
Over the decades, Pamex expanded its lineup well beyond door locks to include commercial and residential door hardware products, door closers, exit devices, hinges, bath accessories, and cabinet hardware ranging from knobs and pulls to functional hardware. That breadth lets builders and contractors source a wide range of door and cabinet hardware from a single supplier.
Pamex has built its reputation on industry-leading service and expertise alongside quality products, serving both residential and commercial hardware customers. ChatMRO's catalogue covers Pamex's door locksets, hinges, and cabinet hardware by finish and function so buyers can match hardware to a specific door or cabinet application.
