Olympus Lock

What Olympus Lock does

Olympus Lock, Inc. is a US-based manufacturer of mechanical cabinet locks, founded in 1985 and headquartered in Lynnwood, Washington. The company designs and produces a portfolio of easily rekeyable pin tumbler, interchangeable core, disc tumbler (Cascade Series and CCL Series), combination, cam, showcase-style ratchet and plunger, and specialty cabinet locks, including non-ferrous (non-magnetic) variants for healthcare MRI environments and large/small format interchangeable core bodies for high-frequency rekeying sites. Its lock bodies are engineered to accept third-party mechanical and electronic cylinders, including Schlage-compatible formats, allowing facility operators to standardize on a keyway system without replacing the entire installed base. The portfolio is sold exclusively through a network of North American distributors, with end demand distributed across six verticals: airports, casinos, education (K-12 through university), retail, healthcare, and banking/credit unions.

The business is privately held, employs 101-250 people per firmographic data, and has operated continuously for 35+ years without disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or public ownership signals. Marketing is conducted primarily through the company website, with industry-specific solutions pages and downloadable collateral (e.g., the Custom Keying brochure) targeting locksmiths, facilities teams, and security specifiers. The relationship with FJM Security, indicated by a cross-linked homepage banner, suggests a distribution or corporate affiliation that is not explicitly defined in the available source material. No software, connected, or AI-enabled products are evidenced in the product set, and pricing is not publicly disclosed — customers are directed to distributors for quotes.
