Willis Klein Commercial Sales

Company Overview

Willis Klein operates four distinct divisions that focus on decorative plumbing, door hardware, residential and commercial hardware, as well as locksmith/security solutions and safes.

We cater to homeowners, interior designers, decorators, architects, residential builders, commercial builders, and facilities managers.

In 1960, Willis Klein, a locksmith from the second generation, launched his business with a strong commitment to service.

Larry R. Klein, the son of Willis, now owns and operates the company.

At the age of 12, Larry began working for his father, sweeping floors and cutting keys during the summer.

In 1978, Larry assumed the presidency of the company, which consisted of one division—locksmithing—and employed eight people.

In the early 1980s, he broadened the company's services to include door hardware and locks to better serve customers.

Builders soon recognized our skill in lock installation, turning to Willis Klein for their door hardware requirements.

This expansion bolstered the decorative hardware division, prompting Larry to introduce designer and European hardware along with coordinating bath accessories.

The company expanded to offer decorative plumbing and created an impressive showroom to display these items.

We also collaborate with brands like Waterworks to provide exclusive products.

Larry became the President of Willis Klein Showrooms in 1978, 18 years after the company was founded, taking over from his father, Willis Klein.
