What Taymor does

Taymor is a Canadian-founded architectural hardware manufacturer, established in 1948 by Jake Zalkowitz, that designs, produces, and distributes bath and door hardware products across Canada and the United States. Its product portfolio spans residential door hardware (deadbolts, handlesets, knobs, levers, mortise locks, sliding door locks, interconnected locks, digital locks), interior and exterior hardware (cabinet hardware, door stops, pulls, viewers, house numbers, knockers), bath hardware (towel bars, paper holders, robe hooks, towel rings, bath sets), shower door hardware, bath accents and bath safety (grab bars), commercial-grade hardware (levers, knobs, deadbolts, door closers, mortise locks, exit devices and trim including the 9700 Series), and a more recently added Faucets category. Technically, the portfolio is built around mechanical and electromechanical hardware with a Coordinated Finish Program enabling matching finishes across product categories, smart-lock functionality in the Centinel 3 Bluetooth digital deadbolt, and code-compliant commercial exit devices carrying cUL/UL, fire-rating, and ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certifications.

The business model is a traditional B2B one-time-sale hardware distribution model. Taymor generates revenue through the sale of physical products via three channels: a network of regional field sales representatives, an authorized distributor/dealer network across North America, and a B2B customer portal (portal.taymor.com). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted through sales reps or distributors. The company targets four primary customer segments: multi-family residential developers and builders, commercial and institutional customers, residential replacement/retail (homeowners and contractors), and architects/designers as a specification influencer. Taymor operates from a Canadian headquarters in Delta, British Columbia, a regional office in Mississauga, Ontario, and a US entity (Taymor Industries USA Inc.) supporting the US market. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding and 101-250 employees.
