BKS Türbeschläge GmbH

Foreman Adolf Boge and locksmith Fritz Kasten founded the „Rheinische Türschließerfabrik Boge & Kasten GmbH“ on 8th of May 1903 in Solingen. They developed a door closer, who allowes the door to lock nearly noisless. That was the foundation stone of the company's high reputation. Further developments made it the European market leader, then.

Yale and Town, a US-american enterprise, bougth this company in 1927/1928 and merged it with Damm & Ladwig and "Vereinigte Riegel- und Schlossfabriken" to BKS with headquarter in Velbert. In 1983 it changed to German ownership again and is now part pf the Gretsch- Unitas group.
