Our History

Like most security wholesalers, Doyle Security Products started out as a retail locksmith operation. The company was founded in 1921 by Howard Doyle, who like many locksmiths of the time, rode the street cars to get to his service calls. As early as 1927 he started selling supplies to other locksmiths. Over the years Doyle has had to move nine times.  Each time was because of a lack of space to handle their growth.

In 1962 the Doyle family sold the business to the Hromadko-Wilson partnership. In 1972 Hromadko bought out his partner and was now the sole owner of Doyle. In 1976, they put their first salesman on the road and the next year produced their first catalog. In 1980 Hromadko sold the retail part of the business to concentrate his total efforts on the wholesaling of security products. In 1996 the business was sold to its present owner who had served as the General Manager of the business for the previous nine years.

The Company has been able to show steady growth with a combination of exceptional customer service, provided by the most knowledgeable sales staff in the upper Midwest, and a commitment to an inventory stocked to meet our customers needs.  Doyle has been the leader for many years in the locksmith wholesale business.  We were one of the first to stock safes on an extensive basis, and also were one of the first high security keyway distributors. We also lead the way in offering electronic security to the marketplace.  The combination of a dedicated, knowledgeable staff and cutting edge products for today's market make Doyle Security Products the logical supplier for today's progessive locksmiths.
