Canton Hyland
A door hardware maker in Xiaolan, since 1998.
We make the hardware that goes on a door, and much of it leaves our factory under our customers' names. After twenty-eight years of that, we know who gets the call when a part fails: the one whose name is on it. We build for that person.

Canton Hyland Hardware & Building Material Co., Ltd. was founded in 1998 in Xiaolan, Zhongshan, the town that ships close to a third of China's lock exports. We stamp, polish, assemble and inspect our own parts, and our quality system has been certified to ISO 9001 since 2002.
The range covers most of what a door needs: panic exit devices, cylindrical and tubular locks, deadbolts, mortise lock cases, profile cylinders, levers, glass door fittings, hinges, closers and the small parts that finish the job. Master key and construction key systems are a specialty. They are what a hospital, a school or an office tower asks of a lock supplier, and they are where a supplier's records either hold up or do not.
Much of what we make leaves Xiaolan under our customers' brands. Bring us a drawing or a sample and we tool it. If a design runs into another maker's patent, our engineers change the parts or the appearance until it no longer does. We ship to brands and distributors in Europe, Russia, the Americas, Turkey and Southeast Asia. We are set up for importers, distributors and brands rather than single doors: most models start between 300 and 5,000 pieces, and a sample is charged and credited against the first production order. We exhibited at the Cologne hardware fair for years, and our Spanish-speaking team has exhibited in Lima and Buenos Aires.
The best way to judge a factory is to stand in it. Buyers who want to see the floor before the first container are welcome in Zhongshan, and those who cannot travel can start with a sample.

Manufacturing
One chain, one roof
We are the factory, not a trading office in front of one. Everything below happens on our own floor, from the mould to the carton — which is why a change of finish or a customer's own drawing is a scheduling question here rather than a subcontracting one.
- 01
Tooling
The moulds and dies behind the catalog are ours. That is why changing a lever profile, a rosette, a plate or a backset is a normal order here rather than a special project — and why an OEM part starts from a sample, a drawing or a photograph instead of from a catalog page. Where no mould exists for the form you want, we cut one.
546 models in production
- 02
Stamping
Plate, rose and lever blanks are pressed in house from brass, stainless steel and zinc alloy. Working from our own tooling is what keeps the hole positions on the hundredth plate identical to the first — which matters more than it sounds, because a fixing center that has drifted two millimeters cannot be corrected on site.
- 03
Polishing
Every visible face is polished before it is plated, because plating does not hide what is underneath it — it magnifies it. This is the slowest step in the chain and the one that separates hardware that photographs well from hardware that still looks right after it is installed under a downlight.
- 04
Finishing
Polished brass, antique brass, satin nickel, satin chrome, black nickel, satin and polished stainless. A finish code is not decoration — it is what decides whether a handle survives a coastal doorway or a wet room, and it is the one specification most often left off a purchase order.
- 05
Assembly
Cases, cylinders, springs, spindles and trim are brought together and function-tested as a set. A lock is not the sum of parts that each pass on their own — a latch and a strike that are both in tolerance can still bind, and that is only found by turning the handle.
- 06
Inspection
Dimensional and functional checks run against the same drawings the catalog publishes, under a quality system audited to ISO 9001. Third-party inspection before shipment is welcome and does not need to be negotiated — tell us the inspector and we will book the date.
ISO 9001 certified since 2002

Packing + export
Your carton, your markings, your logo. We ship to distributors, contractors and OEM partners in export markets and issue the documents an importer actually needs at the border rather than after it. Production lead time starts at 30 days from order confirmation; the exact date depends on the models, quantities and finishes on your order.

What is tested, and in whose name
Each document below is listed with the one model it covers. A report on one model does not approve another, so before you specify, ask us which current models a document still covers. Much of what we make is tested in our customers' names, at their cost; testing in our own name is being prepared.
