Company & Manufacturing

Zhongshan Yanfeng Lock Industry has produced mechanical door hardware for residential and light commercial projects since 2013.

Zhongshan Yanfeng Lock Industry Co., Ltd

A lock factory, not a trading office.

We have made mechanical door hardware in Xiaolan, Zhongshan since 2013 — the town that supplies most of the world's residential lock hardware, twenty minutes from the zinc-alloy foundries and the plating lines our products depend on.

Everything we sell is made on our own platform: our tooling, our die-casting, our machining, our plating specification and our assembly benches. That is why a matte black handleset and a matte black hinge ordered eight months apart still match on the door, and why we can change a cylinder, a backset or a strike for an OEM customer without going back to a supplier to ask permission.

Zhongshan Yanfeng Lock Industry Co., Ltd produces mechanical door hardware for residential and light commercial projects — handlesets, lever locks, deadbolts, hinges and the components around them.

We are a manufacturer, not a trading company. The people who quote your drawing are the people who run the line that makes it, which is why a technical question gets a technical answer the same day rather than a forwarded email three days later.

One system across every collection

Every collection shares one finish system, one function-code system and one packing standard. A single project can specify a handleset on the front door, heavy-duty levers on the corridor and light-duty levers in the bedrooms, and all of it arrives keyed alike, finished alike and packed to the same standard — without anyone having to translate between three suppliers’ catalogues.

What we make

  • Handlesets — entry sets with tubular deadlatch and matching deadbolt
  • Tubular knob locks — interior and secondary entrance, 5-pin cylinder
  • Deadbolts — single and double cylinder, 1″ hardened throw
  • Heavy-duty lever locks — entrance and storeroom duty, ANSI Grade 2
  • Light-duty lever locks — bedroom, bathroom and passage
  • Sliding and pocket door locks — flush pulls and privacy latches
  • Combo locksets — lockset and deadbolt keyed alike in one carton
  • Pull handles — stainless steel, for glass, timber and barn doors
  • Hinges — butt, ball-bearing and three-way adjustable concealed

Where we ship

More than fifty markets, with the largest volumes going to North America, Australia, the Middle East and South-East Asia. We hold a US contact line for North American accounts so time-zone differences do not add a day to every exchange.

How we work with buyers

Most enquiries start one of three ways: a page from this catalogue, a competitor sample, or a drawing. All three end the same way — a quotation with the function, finish, backset, packing and carton quantity stated, so your costing sheet does not need a footnote.

On the floor

How a Yanfeng lock is actually made

Eight stations between a zinc ingot and a sealed carton. All of them are ours, which is why we can answer a technical question the same day instead of forwarding it to a supplier.

01

Die casting

Zinc alloy #3 ingot is melted and cast on 88–160 ton machines. First-article dimensions are checked against the drawing before the run is released.

02

Deburring & machining

Gates are removed, then keyway, spindle bore and screw holes are machined on CNC and drill-tap stations.

03

Polishing

Vibratory finishing followed by hand belt polishing. This is the step that decides whether a plated finish looks like hardware or looks like a casting.

04

Plating & coating

Rack electroplating, PVD or powder coat depending on the finish code. Bath chemistry and thickness are logged per batch.

05

Cylinder & key

Pin tumbler cylinders are pinned to the customer's keying schedule — keyed alike, keyed different or master keyed — and keys are cut and stamped.

06

Assembly

Latch, spindle, rose, lever and cylinder are assembled on a moving bench. Every unit is hand-operated at the bench before it leaves it.

07

Testing

Sampled units go to the lab for cycle testing, torque, salt spray and key-retraction checks against ANSI/BHMA A156.2 and A156.5.

08

Packing

Colour box, template, screw pack, strike and instruction sheet. Cartons are weighed, dimensioned and barcoded to the packing list.

Quality control

Eight checkpoints between the ingot and the carton

Every checkpoint below is written into our ISO 9001 procedures and recorded per batch. Ask for the records on your order number and we will send them.

Incoming material Zinc ingot certificate and hardness check on every lot
First article Dimensional check against drawing before the run is released
In-process Hourly sampling on casting, machining and assembly
Plating thickness X-ray fluorescence check per plating batch
Salt spray 24–96 h neutral salt spray per ASTM B117, by finish class
Cycle testing 100,000–800,000 cycles per ANSI/BHMA A156.2 / A156.5 grade
Key & cylinder Rotation torque, key retraction and pin-stack verification
Pre-shipment AQL 2.5 sampling on cartons, labels, screws and templates

Come and see it, or start with samples

Our factory is a ninety-minute drive from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport and about two hours from Hong Kong. We host customers year-round and arrange pick-up from Zhongshan, Guangzhou or Shenzhen. If you cannot travel yet, we will send samples in your chosen finish so you can judge the plating and the feel in your hand.
