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.
7. TRIED AND TESTED
6. TURN OF THE CENTURY
Winlock Security Limited was acquired in 2013
by Alan Parker (previous MD of Heyward Williams
Group), Michael Davidsen (Co-Founder 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.
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.
