7 THINGS YOU
DIDN’T KNOW
ABOUT…
WINLOCK
SECURITY LTD
You may know Winlock Security Ltd as the only
volume supplier of window handles manufactured
in the UK. Or, perhaps as the specialist supplier of
innovative door and window hardware including timber,
aluminium, PVCu and composite applications to UK
and European fabricators? But here are 7 things
you might not know about Winlock Security Ltd…
1. WORTH ITS WEIGHT
Since commencing window handle production in
1987, Winlock Security
has made and sold more
the 25 million window
handles. This is over
5,500 tonnes of metal
and equates to:
• Twice the weight of
the steel in Blackpool
Tower
• Enough to fill 5 Olympic swimming pools
• Laid end-to-end the
distance across the
Atlantic from England
to the USA
STILL NOT READY FOR DOC Q?
2. WAY BACK WHEN
Diane Roberts
Winlock Security will be
celebrating 30 years as a
window handle manufacturer in 2017, but before
1987 the business made
camlocks and locking cylinders for cabinet locks,
lockers and garage doors.
Our longest serving employee is Diane Roberts,
who has been with us for
43 years… We think she
must have started when
she was still at school!
