CLARK Security Products started in 1950 as the Key Department of the Wilson F. Clark Wholesale Hardware Co. In San Diego. This tiny department occupied a space approximately 10' x 20' with an inventory of a short line of key blanks, padlocks, and a few Ilco key machines. At that time, our market was local and a few orders a day was cause for celebration. This little key department continued to function as part of WFC Co. Until 1953, when a new corporation was established under the name of CLARK Security Products.
