Our thanks to all who have been with us for the long haul. Watch us grow into the next half century!!

It has been over 50 years since we started this little operation in West Allis, on 76th & Becher St. Photo right is the original shop. Over the years we have moved several times, finally ending up here in Waukesha. We would like to thank our hundreds of loyal clients for their patronage over the years, and look forward to serving many more new clients in the coming years. You can expect Northwestern to continue our high degree of professionalism and detail we have always provided.

Keeping your Commercial or Industrial Property Safe

Our new lines are in house. We now have the Everest 29 System, and the new Master Lock door hardware. The Best Interchangeable Core lock products are now available thru our regular lock suppliers, so we can handle your order easier.

RETIRE??

"When are you going to retire?" I really do not understand why people think I am going to retire any time soon. I am at the age where most men retire from some other job and START A LOCKSHOP!??

The old Northwestern is going to be here for the forseeable future and probably a long time after that. So don't think we are going away any time soon. Retire? Not with all the investments we have been making in plant and equipment.
