History

Yavne, Israel, headquarters of the company

Mul-T-Lock was established in 1973, with the invention of the 4-way lock. In 1976, its marketing efforts expanded internationally in 1976. As the company experienced growth, it expanded its manufacturing facilities.  ^[2]

In 1987 Mul-T-Lock opened its first business unit in the United States and its second manufacturing plant in Israel. ^[3]

Mul-T-Lock launched the Interactive patented platform in 1992 and expanded with new European selling units and entered the Asia Pacific market.^{[citation needed]}

In 2000, Mul-T-Lock became part of the ASSA ABLOY Group,^[4] a manufacturer of access solutions. The company introduced the MT5 + high-security premium cylinder platform and the KC5 key-cutting machine in 2006. It expanded its network of distributors and authorized locksmiths to over 80 countries.^{[citation needed]}

In 2009, Mul-T-Lock introduced the SMARTair access control system following the launch of CLIQ - electromechanical locking solution.^[5]

In 2020, Mul-T-Lock adopted a new scalable naming system for its advanced patented mechanical platforms to facilitate recognition amongst end-user.  Consequently, each of the patented mechanical platforms was renamed, and the Mul-T-Lock brand was integrated and assigned a role within each new name. The display boxes were redesigned to reflect the rebranding changes.^{[citation needed]}

In 2022, the company introduced the MTL CLIQ GO, an access control system.^{[citation needed]}
