4. UNINVITED GUEST
A rare and venomous
Huntsman spider, believed to have
travelled 5,000 miles from Taiwan,
was found in a container delivered
to Winlock Security last year. It
was spotted, photographed and
an expert called in to deal with it,
but they couldn’t capture it and it
escaped into the wilds of Telford!
Thankfully they don’t last long in
our climate.

5. GOING DUTCH
Winlock
supplies 33
different Espag
handle pin lengths,
ranging from a
7mm to 85mm,
so we can supply
handles to fit just about any PVC or
aluminium profile ever sold in the UK.
We even put logos on the spindle
for a Dutch customer where our
window handle has been tested to the
prestigious SKG standard.

6.TURN OF THE CENTURY
Winlock Security Limited
was acquired in 2013 by
Alan Parker (previous MD of
Heywood Williams Group),
Michael Davidsen (CoFounder of Mila) and Harry
Budhrani (owner of Imperial
Hardware Asia). Together
the three men will next year
reach over 100 years of
combined experience within
the Industry.

7.TRIED AND TESTED
Winlock has its own inhouse Burglar Bill who tests
all potential new door security
products to way above and
beyond PAS024. If he can’t get
in with his bag of tricks, then
we don’t think anyone else
can!

Winlock Security Ltd
designs, develops, produces
and supplies across the gamut
of door and window hardware
from handles, locks, cylinders
and hinges, to vents, patio
locking systems, strikers and
security devices.
