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, who followed in his father's footsteps as a locksmith, founded his company with a deep commitment to service.

Today, Larry R. Klein, the son of Willis, leads the company.

Larry recalls his first job with his father at 12, where he spent his summer sweeping floors and cutting keys.

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.

Due to our proficiency in lock installation, builders began to rely on Willis Klein for their door hardware needs.

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.

In 1978, Larry took over as President of Willis Klein Showrooms, succeeding his father, Willis Klein, 18 years after the company's establishment.
