COMPANY
Competence, consulting & service
In-house development, design and production, decades of experience and perfect interaction between all departments result in innovations and products of the highest quality. This ensures that all products meet the quality requirements that Lock promises.
Lock is big enough to supply you with an extensive range of products, all manufactured to consistently high standards of quality and in high volumes. At the same time though, Lock is also flexible enough to be able to listen carefully to what you have to say, and to meet individual wishes.
The logically structured range of modular products includes a great variety of drives, couplings, gear racks, gear units and accessories in order to offer the optimum drive system for every application.
In its market sector, Lock offers the biggest selection of all, featuring around 1000 variants of its EWA power drives. More than 500,000 power drives have already left our assembly line and have been delivered to customers.
With its order-related assembly operation and its great capacity, Lock is able to supply anything from single items to products for large and complex projects, and can do so reliably and rapidly.
The change of name from Lock Antriebstechnik GmbH to Lock GmbH in 2023 will further emphasise Lock's broader range of services and technological diversity. With its newly founded business units Lock Drives, Lock ProSystems and Lock SmartSolutions, Lock GmbH now offers a wide range of drive, positioning and automation solutions.
