Who knows how many secrets have stayed secret thanks to ASSA ABLOY, the world's largest lock maker. ASSA ABLOY produces mechanical, industrial, electromagnetic, and electronic locks. Although its primary business is providing locks for doors and windows, the company also offers locking systems for automobiles, parking meters, pay phones, and gaming machines. ASSA ABLOY provides complete lock systems for hotels, office complexes, hospitals, and schools. It also offers security planning, maintenance, and consulting services for large institutional locking systems. Finnish engineering group Wartsila (formerly Metra Oyj) controls about 29% of ASSA ABLOY, which has acquired Williams PLC's Yale lock operations.
