DeWalch was founded as a platform for the development and commercialization of technology and technology-based solutions. The first opportunity and still a principal focus of the company is in the area of securing the point of service for utility companies.

DeWalch revolutionized the industry in the mid-1980s with the introduction of the first high security locking system, offering utility companies a paradigm shift in product features and technology. With the DeWalch high security lock and key, utility companies were able to exercise complete control over their systems with exclusive key codes, multi-generational locking systems, and keys incapable of being duplicated or counterfeited.

DeWalch continues to develop leading edge products across the full range of applications in the utility industry. Most recently, DeWalch introduced the first electronic lock and key specifically designed for utility applications. A multi-year effort has produced a suite of hardware and software products that give our customers complete control over their locking systems, with such features as lock-specific and schedule-based key control and lost key self-destruction.
