Capitol’s investment in equipment keeps it competitive with import locks

Capitol's Montreal plant houses ample equipment.

For more than six decades, engineered industrial locking solutions have been the specialization of Capitol Industries Inc. As a Canadian manufacturer, the company is a convenient source for these products domestically – yet it also faces ample competition from import locks. But Capitol keeps ahead of these imports through its secondary equipment.

By continuous investment in state-of-the-art equipment, Capitol can offer additional services to customers, which add extra value to every project.

Die casting and more

As a leader in designing and developing locks, the company depends on a wide variety of manufacturing equipment in its ISO 9001:2015-certified facility. By constantly upgrading and expanding this machinery, Capitol boosts its abilities to make newer, bolder products for clients with changing priorities.

Among the more recent additions are automated key bitting and plug-assembly machines. This equipment boosts the company’s capabilities while lowering overhead costs and improving lead times for customers. Capitol stays updated on technological progress and customer demand by investing towards the future. In this way, it competes equitably with overseas suppliers of import locks and benefits clients through diminished supply chains.

The company’s range of machinery allows its personnel not only to manufacture the best industrial locks in the country, but also to offer additional customer services – including tooling and tooling design, die casting, and secondary operations with customized machining skills. The Capitol team also uses its equipment to provide the highest quality of finishing processes in the industry. These extra services add a value to Capitol that cannot be found in companies that supply import locks from other countries.

Capitol’s range of finishing abilities is complex and diverse, with several hundred processes at hand. The options include electroplating, powder coating, relieving, and assembly. The company offers epoxy, hybrid, polyester, and polyurethane powder coating. With belt-sanding and satining equipment, Capitol gives the final touch to parts in any condition to make them presentable. The staff conduct assembly according to client specifications, efficiently and accurately. All of these processes are handled with strict quality assurance.

By investing in the future, Capitol Industries stays on top.
