Schlage Commercial Locks for Chicago Buildings

America’s Lock Since 1920

Schlage was founded by Walter Schlage in San Francisco in 1920. Walter Schlage patented a lock that combined a doorknob with a push-button locking mechanism — a design concept so practical that it became the template for residential and commercial locks across the country. Today Schlage is owned by Allegion and stands as one of the most recognized lock brands in North America.

Schlage’s commercial division produces cylindrical locks, mortise locks, electronic locks, and wireless access devices used in office buildings, hospitals, schools, and multi-tenant properties nationwide. The Schlage name on a lockset is a signal of standard commercial quality and broad keying system compatibility.

Manufacturing Heritage

Schlage manufactures in the United States, with primary production facilities in Colorado. The company’s commercial locksets are designed to meet ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards — the highest commercial rating — ensuring durability in high-traffic Chicago commercial environments where doors cycle thousands of times daily.
