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 serve a diverse clientele, including homeowners, interior designers, decorators, architects, residential builders, commercial builders, and facilities managers.

The journey of Willis Klein began in 1960 when Willis Klein, a second-generation locksmith, established his business with a genuine focus on service.

Currently, the company is under the leadership of Larry R. Klein, Willis' son.

Larry fondly remembers his early days working for his father at the age of 12, where he swept floors and cut keys.

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

To enhance customer service in the early 1980s, he expanded the offerings to include door hardware and locks.

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

As a result, the decorative hardware division flourished, inspiring Larry to provide designer and European hardware alongside coordinating bath accessories.

From there, the business grew to encompass decorative plumbing and established a beautiful showroom to exhibit all these offerings.

Additionally, we partner with companies such as Waterworks to offer unique products.

In 1978, 18 years after its inception, Larry succeeded his father, Willis Klein, as the President of Willis Klein Showrooms.
