Norwich Lock Manufacturing Co.

Norwich Lock Company began in 1865 in Norwich, Connecticut. The name changed to Norwalk Lock Manufacturing Company in 1872. By 1888, it was one of the three largest manufacturers of locks in the US, although it produced more than just locks. They manufactured a full line of building hardware including keys, door plates, doorknobs and padlocks. The company moved to Virginia in 1891 and continued in business until 1905.
