The history of Yale
The Yale history captures major innovations that have marked the evolution not just of Yale, but of the entire locking industry.
It all started with Linus Yale when he opened up a lock shop and small lock factory in Newport, USA in 1847. Since then Yale has been responsible for the most important contribution to lock history - the cylinder lock. The cylinder lock forms the basis of many locking cylinders and today it is the most widely used type of door lock in the world.
