Lockmasters has acquired Orchard Lock Distributors, a specialty wholesale distributor of commercial and architectural door locksets, door hardware and security solutions primarily serving the commercial glass and glazing market.

Orchard Lock Distributors has been operating for more than 50 years and is based in Connecticut.

Going forward, Orchard Lock will operate as the New England division of JLM Wholesale, the leading specialty wholesale distributor of commercial door hardware and security solutions that Lockmasters acquired in January 2024.

Daniel Carpey, former President and Owner of Orchard Lock, will maintain his leadership role in New Haven and serve as Vice President of Orchard Lock.

“Greater value and enhanced solutions”

“We are excited to welcome the Orchard Lock team to the Lockmasters family,” said Joe McCormack, CEO of the company. 

“This acquisition unites our customer bases, allowing [us] to deliver a more seamless and efficient experience.

“It also significantly enhances our shipping capabilities across the Northeastern US while expanding and strengthening Lockmasters’ product and service offerings.

“Together, we can provide greater value and enhanced solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”

Door hardware

Carpey: “We are fully aligned with Lockmasters in our mission to provide world-class commercial and architectural door hardware to our customers.

“Our unwavering commitment over the last more than 50 years has been to offer the highest-quality products, foster strong relationships and prioritize the customer experience in everything we do.”
