Baton Lock
Baton Lock is a UK-based locking-systems brand and manufacturer focused on commercial and industrial security hardware, particularly cam locks, access-control style locking products, and heavy-duty padlocks. The company markets itself as an international manufacturer of locking systems and associated security products, established in 1973, with a long-standing reputation for supplying a wide range of locking and access solutions.
They operate out of Trafford Park, Manchester (Baton House, Unit 1, Fourth Avenue), and the UK company entity (BATON LOCK LIMITED) is listed at Companies House as incorporated in December 1994.
What Baton is known for in the trade channel is disc-detainer / detainer disc style locking on key product lines (often promoted as highly pick-resistant), plus practical system options like master-keyed and keyed-alike setups depending on application. Their product lineup includes:
-
Maxi-security cam locks (NAMA-style formats, with multiple keyway options)
-
Padlocks including brass and disc-detainer models, and specialist variants for tougher environments
-
Wider “site security bits” you’ll see on distributor shelves (chains, key cabinets, tags), depending on the stockist mix
