Framon Manufacturing Company: Precision. Durability. Made in the USA.
For over half a century, Framon Manufacturing Company has been a trusted name in the locksmith and security industry. Founded in 1972 and proudly based in Alpena, Michigan, Framon is a family-owned business that continues to set the standard in key machines, locksmith tools, and code software.
At its core, Framon is committed to building long-lasting, precision-engineered products that locksmiths can count on. While the industry has changed dramatically over the decades, Framon’s values have stayed the same: quality craftsmanship, industry-leading customer support, and a passion for helping locksmiths succeed—whether they’re just starting out or have been in the business for decades.
Framon’s key machines are recognized throughout the world for their accuracy, durability, and simplicity. The Framon #2, for example, has become the gold standard for hand-operated key code machines—capable of originating virtually any cylinder key with unmatched precision. On the electronic side, the FRA-2001 offers cutting-edge code-cutting technology, serving everything from automotive to institutional locksmithing needs.
But Framon is more than just machines. The company offers an extensive line of tools, key blanks, and specialty key assortments—all designed with input from working locksmiths. Its safe deposit killer kit, tubular lock saw, impressioning tool, and capping blocks are widely considered best-in-class.
In recent years, Framon has expanded its reach into the RV and camper security market, providing locksmiths with the tools, change kits, and knowledge needed to profit in this high-demand niche. With the rise of mobile and institutional locksmithing, Framon continues to lead the way in education and product innovation.
One of the company’s proudest distinctions: over 85% of its products are Made in the USA — a rare commitment in today’s globalized manufacturing world. Every machine is built and assembled in Michigan, and Framon continues to support U.S.-based key suppliers whenever possible.
Framon’s dedication to education is just as strong as its commitment to manufacturing. The team frequently teaches hands-on classes at trade shows and training expos around the country, helping locksmiths sharpen their skills and grow their businesses.
Whether you’re outfitting a new shop or upgrading your go-to equipment, Framon Manufacturing delivers tools you can rely on for years to come.
