History

The James Sargent Lock Company was founded in 1857 by James Sargent.[1] In 1865, Sargent partnered with a Halbert Greenleaf, a former employer. The company was renamed to Sargent & Greenleaf and began operations in Rochester, NY. In 1869 the company got the first of many government contracts to design and produce safe locks for the U.S. Treasury Department.[2] During World War I and II they produced a wide variety of builder's hardware as well as many lock and safe designs. In 1974, S&G relocated to their current home of Nicholasville, Kentucky. In the late 1980s Sargent & Greenleaf began producing a variety of high-security padlocks for the U.S. government. Among these designs were the S&G 831 and S&G 833 models that use Medeco cylinders. Production of the popular 6120 electronic combination lock series began in 1993.

In 2005 Sargent & Greenleaf was acquired by The Stanley Works, an international tool and hardware manufacturer.
