Mul-T-Lock is an Israeli company that develops and sells padlocks, combination locks, and related security products. It was founded in 1973 by Moshe Dolev and Avraham Bahry and is a subsidiary of Assa Abloy.

History
Mul-T-Lock was established in 1973, a group of innovative thinkers set out to revolutionize the lock industry with the invention of the 4-way lock. In 1976, Its innovative lock design led to wider recognition when marketing efforts expanded internationally. As the company experienced growth, it expanded its manufacturing facilities.

1987 was a landmark year for Mul-T-Lock as it expanded its company portfolio and scaled globally, opening its first business unit in the United States and its second manufacturing plant in Israel.

The following years brought continued success for Mul-T-Lock with the launch of the Interactive patented platform in 1992. Mul-T-Lock continued expanding its global reach with new European selling units and entry into the Asia Pacific market.

In 2000, Mul-T-Lock became part of the ASSA ABLOY Group, a global leader in access solutions. This shift further solidified Mul-T-Lock's position as a major player in the industry. The company continued to innovate and introduce new products, such as the MT5® + high-security premium cylinder platform and the KC5 key-cutting machine, which were launched in 2006. Its international presence continued growing with the expansion of its network of distributors and authorized locksmiths to over 80 countries.

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

In 2020, Mul-T-Lock adopted a new scalable naming system for its advanced patented mechanical platforms to facilitate recognition amongst end-users, who would benefit from a better understanding of the hierarchy between the various mechanical platforms. Consequently, each of the patented mechanical platforms was renamed, and the Mul-T-Lock brand was integrated and assigned a prominent role within each new name. The result was a clear, scalable structure. The display boxes were redesigned to reflect the rebranding changes.

In 2022, the company introduced the MTL™ CLIQ® GO, an access control system that supplemented the company's wide range of locksmith-friendly locking solutions.

In 2023 Mul-T-Lock celebrated its 50th anniversary, a testament to the company's enduring commitment to innovation and excellence.
