Historical Background
Union Lock was founded in Birmingham in 1834. The company developed the Union detector lock — a mechanism featuring a tell-tale that records attempted picking — making Union a specialist security brand in addition to a general hardware supplier. Assa Abloy, the world's largest lock manufacturer, acquired the Union brand and incorporated it into its UK portfolio alongside Chubb. Both brands continue to be registered and enforced as separate marks.
