Sales Pieces

Neither consumers nor retailers are immune to attractive sales collateral, and over the years, many lock and key manufacturers produced and distributed materials to drive sales through both wholesale and retail channels.  These examples remain from a time when salesmen worked circuits in person

Acquired in Lewisburg, PA, this sales piece was made by Eagle Lock Co. to enable workers to travel to homes and businesses with examples of locks for various applications

These sales / demonstration pieces traveled with a Corbin Russwin salesman in upstate New York for decades

This merchandising sales piece encouraged consumers to consider keyed-alike padlocks

This vintage Loxem sales display was found in an antique store in rural Massachusetts 

Commercial sales, service and maintenance can be expensive and complex. The Basement Museum has a variety of sales and service guides for commercial door hardware

These myriad installation templates and maintenance documents honor a career of over 30 years in commercial door hardware sales
