HOBES, spol. s r. o. is a Czech engineering company from Horní Benešov in the Moravian-Silesian Region. It builds on the production of mortise locks that started here in 1950 and has operated as a private company since 1992. On its website it presents itself as a single manufacturing partner for six disciplines.
Alongside its own lock range, the company produces precision stampings and welded parts for the automotive industry, made-to-order sheet metal parts and assemblies, and cutting and progressive dies, provides electroplated zinc coating and powder coating, and manufactures steel door frames and doors, including fire-rated and security versions.

This profile is not the official corporate website of HOBES, spol. s r. o. It is a public editorial profile prepared by Intedat to complement the company’s digital footprint and provide a clear overview of its business activities.
The Intedat editorial summary complements publicly verifiable facts with additional business and industry context.
HOBES is an industrial company from the Bruntál area that combines its own product range with contract manufacturing for industrial customers. Mortise locks remain its foundation, and the company has gradually built further metalworking disciplines on top of them.
From a commercial perspective, the key point is that most of the production chain is handled on its own site: from the design and building of tools through stamping, laser cutting, press braking and welding to electroplated zinc coating, powder coating, assembly and packaging. A customer can therefore source a part from the drawing to the finished, surface-treated assembly from a single supplier.
IATF 16949 certification and the TISAX assessment point to experience with the requirements of automotive supply chains, while locks, door frames and doors are aimed at the construction sector, door manufacturers and builders’ hardware distributors.
A structured overview of the production areas and product categories publicly presented by HOBES, spol. s r. o. on its website.
The company’s oldest discipline is locks, which it has produced in Horní Benešov since 1950. The range covers mortise, rim, furniture and special locks, including euro profile cylinder, warded, bathroom and security mortise locks in several backsets, locks to ÖNORM, magnetic and multipoint locks, strike plates, BOMORO latches, key profiles, bolts, door stays and other accessories. The 2026 product catalogue and price list are available for download.
Precision stampings and welded parts for series production are made mainly on fully automated progressive presses with a pressing force of up to 500 tonnes. The company degreases and cleans the parts, welds fasteners onto them by resistance welding with 100% thread clearance checks, and packs them to customer specifications. It verifies quality by 3D measurement, PPAP sampling and weld strength tests.
Made-to-order and series sheet metal production from the drawing to the finished assembly on a 1,600 m² shop floor: punching, laser cutting with a 12 kW source, press braking with a bending force of up to 320 tonnes, MIG/MAG and TIG welding, drilling and tapping, stud welding, gasket bonding, assembly, packaging and dispatch. The company processes steel, stainless steel, aluminium and brass and can deliver series orders on a Just-In-Time basis.
Design, machining and production of individual parts, small batches and complete tools: cutting, piercing, riveting, progressive, bending and combined dies, as well as inspection, welding and auxiliary fixtures. The toolroom works with CAD/CAM software, CNC machining centres, wire EDM machines, a die-sinking EDM machine and grinders.
Electroplated zinc coating of steel on racks and in barrels, with a typical zinc layer of 8–12 μm and a thin-film blue passivation free of hexavalent chromium. A continuous high-capacity line powder coats runs of thousands as well as one-off products made of steel, aluminium alloys and galvanised material up to 3,500 mm long, in RAL colours and in textured, gloss and matt finishes, including masking of threads and contact surfaces.
Standard, wraparound and RC3 security steel door frames for masonry and plasterboard partitions, supplied with a transport primer or powder coated, and rebated and flush steel doors with fire resistance up to EW 90 DP1, in smoke-tight versions and with sound insulation up to 43 dB. The range is complemented by custom frames, frames with a transom and side light, X-ray frames with a lead insert, corner and hospital frames, and preparation for an electric lock or panic hardware.
