The Springlock concealed security fixing was developed by a company with many years of experience installing pictures in hotels , pubs , clubs & restaurants . Frustrated by the shortcomings of existing hanging devices , the Directors decided it was time for picture installation to evolve & they began engineering an entirely new concept . This was designed & created by brothers John & Roger Hough , formally of Ovolo Designs Ltd , based in Barnet , North London . They patented the idea and worked tirelessly on business development immediately afterwards . It took extensive effort to develop the Springlock branding without the power of the internet . No webpages to explain how it worked , no email to connect with potential customers and no social media to spread awareness of the product .
Convincing picture framers that Springlock was a more sophisticated fixing was a feat of endurance to say the least . Nobody had even heard of it , let alone sampled it ’ s working . But since then , Springlock has rapidly grown by it ’ s own merit . It has become a market leader in picture fixings used throughout the United Kingdom with many wholesalers showcasing it within their online brochures and throughout physical stores with their over the counter sales .
From embryonic design to today ’ s market , Springlock Ltd is still a successful family run business . We pride ourselves on it ’ s UK manufacture and work only with the best tools makers and shipping distribution services .
Having gained experience in the industry working on picture frames and their installation for Ovolo Designs many moons ago , Kate Heath , daughter of Roger Hough took the reigns in 2017 .
Kate is happy to share her Springlock knowledge and experience should you have any queries . We are based in Hertford , Hertfordshire where collection is possible .
