• Securitas: Global säkerhetsjätt med bred närvaro i Sverige inom larm, passersystem och säkerhetsteknik. Även om Securitas primärt fokuserar på bevakning och värdetransporter, konkurrerar deras teknikdivision direkt med Låscenter om säkerhetsinstallationer för stora kunder.

• Certego: Skandinavisk leverantör av säkerhetslösningar inom lås, passersystem, larm och kamerabevakning med service- och installationsverksamhet. Liksom Låscenter betjänar Certego bostadsförvaltare, kommuner och företag i hela Norden, vilket gör den till den mest jämförbara direkta konkurrenten.
• Falck Lås: Svensk låssmed- och säkerhetskedja med både butik och fältservice. Liksom Låscenter kombinerar Falck Lås traditionell låssmedisk kompetens med elektroniska säkerhetslösningar och riktar sig till både privatpersoner och företag.
• Rapid Säkerhet: Svensk leverantör av säkerhetstjänster inklusive larm, passersystem, lås och kamerabevakning. Verksamheten är regional och inriktad på B2B-kunder inom fastighetsförvaltning, vilket gör den direkt jämförbar med Låscenter.
