On July 12th, 2021, nine updated Assa Abloy U.S. catalogs included an additional surcharge ranging from 3% to 15% on various product series.
The affected catalogs include:
- Corbin-Russwin (all products)
- Markar (select series)
- McKinney (select series)
- Norton (all products)
- Pemko (select series)
|
- Rixson (all products)
- Rockwood (select series)
- Sargent (all products)
- Yale Commercial (all products)
|
The manner in which the surcharges are applied to the list prices is slightly different from other "adds" that may apply to individual products. As such, it is not presented as a typical price increase. The list prices of the various products and their related options have not changed; instead the surcharge is added to the calculated list price of each given product.
Unlike other optional charges that are generally applied to the base price of the product and then added to arrive at the list price, the surcharge applies to that final list price. The additional surcharges appear in the AVAproject 'Product Builder', showing both the calculated list price and the list price inclusive of the surcharge.

IMPORTANT NOTE: As the July Assa Abloy catalog updates are designed to work with the current version of AVAproject, users that have not updated their software will be unable to utilize those catalogs. They will instead receive a message indicating those catalogs cannot be "mounted" as they are designed to operate with an updated version of AVAproject.

AVAware has worked very closely with Assa Abloy to ensure a seamless transition to the new pricing model. Every effort has been made to notify users well in advance so that they may prepare for the upcoming releases.
As a final measure to ensure that all AVAproject users are made aware of the catalog and software updates, a bulletin appeared via the AVAwire Flash alert service on July 12th.
For additional information or assistance, please contact AVAware customer service.
The following is an official release from Assa Abloy, outlining the updated product pricing:
