Yale Door Handle, 2 Pieces, Silver

Everything we are today, we owe to the inspirational ingenuity of Linus Yale Senior and Linus Yale Junior. The Yale lock tradition started around 1840 when Linus Yale opened up a lock shop specializing in expensive handmade bank locks. Find out more about who we are below. Yale has its roots in colonial America. The Yale family decided to emigrate to the New World from North Wales. A few generations later, about 1840, Linus Yale Sr., began designing and manufacturing a series of innovative, high security locks at his Yale Lock Shop in Newport, New York. He specialized in expensive, handmade bank locks.

Linus Yale Sr.'s son joined his father in the business in 1850 and perfected and patented his father's pin tumbler cylinder lock and became the considered locking expert of his time. In 1862, Yale Jr. introduced the Monitor Bank Lock, marking the transition in bank locks from key locks to dial or combination locks. The principles, embodied in his Monitor Lock, are now standard in combination locks throughout the USA. The company grew and broadened its scope with manually operated chain hoists, battery powered platform trucks and in 1879 a line of padlocks was introduced. Yale and Towne purchased Norton door closer company and H. and T. Vaughan Ltd.
