Exact tool has a unique niche in the manufacturing world. We are a metal stamper and a zinc die caster. To make long story short, many years ago we started producing a multitude of lock components. Locks contain many stamped and zinc die cast parts so we decided to expand and manufacture both metal stampings and zinc die castings to provide more of a one-stop shop for our customers. Exact Tool is not just limited to making parts for the lock industry. Exact Tool manufactures many types of zinc die castings, metal stampings and tools for all types of industries.
