KROMER Brand Profile

A Century of Precision Craftsmanship, An Unbroken Legacy

Founded in 1868 in Germany’s Black Forest by Carl and Theodor Kromer, the brand began with development and manufacture of devices for watchmaking and security locks. Rooted in technological leadership and uncompromising security, KROMER laid the foundation for German high‑security lock manufacturing.

Relocating to Freiburg im Breisgau in 1872, the brand focused exclusively on high‑security locks, pioneering anti‑pry, damage‑resistant mechanisms, forced locking, and springless designs under Theodor Kromer’s leadership. Its breakthrough double‑bit key technology revolutionized the industry, earning top awards at the 1873 Vienna World’s Fair. By 1914, KROMER’s Novum and Protector series were global benchmarks, trusted for finance, safes and premium architecture.

KROMER’s innovations were preserved and advanced by Lebtig Schließtechnik, building on its legendary engineering while adapting to modern security needs.

Today, as the successor to Lebtig Schließtechnik and STUV Lebtig, we uphold their German engineering DNA: Precision craftsmanship, ultimate security and continuous innovation. We integrate classic lock technologies with contemporary design, intelligent systems and advanced manufacturing to serve global sectors including finance, high‑end architecture, industry and premium residences.

Revitalizing a century‑old legacy, we deliver tailored, high‑standard security solutions, carrying forward the timeless heritage of German high‑security lock excellence.
