Our Story

Commando Lock represents 3 generations and 80 years of American innovation. Founded in 2005 by Patrick Smith, we're celebrating our 20th year of continued growth building better security products at the best value. Simple . Safe . Secure .

The Commando method of interlocking each steel plate to the next under extreme pressure, then riveting them together creates the strongest laminated padlock assembly in the industry. It's a highly automated process that guarantees aerospace tolerance in our padlocks. The end result is a measurably refined locking mechanism at an affordable price.

Commando padlocks protect our US military assets worldwide, while protecting your assets at home.
