London & Locksmiths
London has a centuries long locksmith tradition. From ancient Roman designs to cutting edge modern security.
London locksmiths have made several ground breaking contributions over the years:
- Robert Barron: In 1778, this English locksmith invented and patented the double-acting tumbler lock, which involved levers falling into a slot. This design was later developed further by Jeremiah Chubb.
- Joseph Bramah: Only a few years later, in 1784, Bramah created the first high-security lock in London. In 1790 his Piccadilly company created a padlock known as "The Challenge Lock," he famously put it in public view with the equivalent of a £30,000 prize for anyone who could pick it and never saw it picked in his lifetime. It can still be seen in the London Science Museum.
- Chubb Brothers: Charles and Jeremiah made advancements in lock and safe technology during the Victorian era. Working out of Cowcross Street, London they patented the first iron safes to protect against fire and enjoyed royal charter.
- Banham Locks: Founded in London in 1926 by William F. Banham, Banham patented unique bolts to prevent forced entry in the 1930s. In 1965, Banham was awarded a Royal Warrant. It continues to this day with a fourth generation of family leadership.
Same-day service for broken key extraction when others couldn't help for weeks. Flexible, accommodating, and did excellent work too.
