Zephyr Secure

What Zephyr Secure does

Zephyr Secure, Inc. is a privately held manufacturer of locker locks, commercial locks, and industrial hardware founded in 1950 and headquartered at thirty Pecks Lane, Newtown, Connecticut. The company produces electronic and mechanical locker lock systems alongside a broad portfolio of industrial hardware components, including hinges, handles, latches, casters, drawer slides, cam locks, padlocks, and specialty custom hardware. Differentiated products include the E-Smart line of wireless-networkable electronic locks with RFID access and digital keypads, the Breeze key-free/cardless/codeless networked storage system, ADA-compliant lock models, and antimicrobial locker locks for healthcare environments. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and references patented technologies across its product set.

Zephyr Secure serves B2B customers in education (K-12 and university), healthcare and medical facilities, corporate and office environments, health/fitness/recreation, municipalities, data centers, office furniture manufacturers, trucks/RV/rack hardware, and OEM enclosure manufacturers. Its go-to-market is sales-led and quote-based, combining an In-Stock Essentials Catalog for catalog-direct procurement with custom OEM hardware programs that include sourcing assistance, prototyping support, fitment review, hardware optimization, and production continuity. Distribution operates through direct sales across the USA and Canada, with a US-based engineering team supporting bespoke component development.

Revenue mechanics combine one-time hardware product sales (in-stock catalog and custom OEM) with a managed-services layer delivered through a proprietary vendor-managed inventory (VMI) portal that the company states manages 60+ products per customer with multi-location shipping and 99.5% on-time delivery. In 2025 the company executed three acquisitions (Wind Hardware in January and Royal Hardware and Royal Components International in August) to broaden its industrial hardware catalog, and in June 2026 it launched an expanded OEM enclosure hardware solutions program targeting industrial, networking, automation, and control applications.
