Nationwide Industries, a Harbour Group company and leading supplier of specialty hardware in the fence and gate, railing and patio market, has acquired LockeyUSA. The acquisition brings a vital presence in the perimeter security market in multiple important customer channels for Nationwide Industries.
The acquisition isn’t expected to cause any immediate change. Lockey says its brand name will continue "for the foreseeable future."
Based in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, Lockey is a specialty supplier of high-quality perimeter security and gate hardware products, providing security and convenience for a wide range of commercial and residential applications. Lockey’s product portfolio includes keyless locks, hydraulic gate closing hardware and panic hardware.
“We are excited about the combination of Lockey with our company,” says Neil Yeargin, CEO and president of Nationwide. “Partnering with Harbour Group’s operational resources, we see the combination with Lockey as a prime opportunity to expand our product offering, supported by a team dedicated to providing quality products with attention to customer service.”
“Nationwide has a profoundly strong reputation in the market, and we are thrilled to partner with both the Nationwide team and Harbour Group,” says Doug Hill, founder of Lockey. “We believe our high-quality product offering and attention to customer security and convenience will be a great complement to Nationwide’s expansion into perimeter security. It also offers Lockey’s traditional customer base Nationwide’s complementary fence and gate hardware products. I am excited about the opportunity and look forward to helping create the next phase of growth.”
