The Jackloc Company is thrilled to announce the commemoration of its 20th anniversary. Established in 2003, Jackloc has consistently led the way in manufacturing the most secure and dependable window restrictor products. Their primary goal is to enhance property security and reduce accidental falls on a global scale.
Founded in 2003 by the late Derek Horne, a renowned expert in fenestration, the inspiration for this venture struck during a property survey in Kings Cross. While on the job, Derek observed a child perilously perched on the window ledge of a hotel.
Recognising the potential harm posed by unlocked opening windows, especially to children and vulnerable adults, this incident served as a catalyst for him to create a solution that could prevent such tragic situations from occurring. Consequently, Derek embarked on designing the first retrofit cable window restrictor.
In 2005, the company installed its original restrictors at The Ritz Hotel in London, and from there, its influence extended worldwide. The company’s journey continued until its acquisition by Eric Collins and Jit Singh in 2019.
The Jackloc mission is to reduce avoidable accidents, to make window security and safety a ‘normal’ conversation and to have restrictors fitted to windows where people can still have natural ventilation without the risk of intrusion or an accidental fall. The Jackloc team have worked closely with the Security and Locksmith sector, over many years, with the aim of keeping homes and businesses as secure as possible.
The company designs, engineers and manufactures their world-renowned range of window restrictors in the UK. Jackloc has continued innovating with their product designs and all their products have been independently tested to exceed every element of BS EN 13126 and BS EN 14351.
Furthermore, the launch of the Titan folding window restrictor demonstrated the Jackloc desire to offer the strongest and most secure window restrictor in the world. The patented design of The Titan window lock provides extra security for open windows and is awarded Sold Secure status by the Master Locksmiths Association, making it the first, and only, window restrictor to achieve this accolade.
Over the years, Jackloc has grown to be a market leader in the supply of window restrictor products. Through unwavering dedication and a relentless pursuit of excellence, the company has been successful in securing a number of prestigious awards, including: Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation 2017; Mother & Baby 2020: Best Safety Product; MadeforMums 2020: Best Home Safety Product; Sold Secure 2020: Domestic Security approval (for the Titan product).
Eric Collins, Managing Director, states: “At Jackloc, we want to demonstrate to our customers, partners, suppliers and other stakeholders that we truly care about people and ensuring their experience interacting with Jackloc is the very best. Ultimately, we want Jackloc products, and the customer service that we offer, to provide total peace of mind above anything else.
After 20 years in business, we are incredibly grateful to our customers, partners and loyal colleagues who have, and continue to, contribute to the Jackloc success through this journey. This 20-year milestone is a momentous occasion for the Jackloc team, and we look forward to the continuing potential that lies ahead for keeping people secure and safe. We will continue to make a difference in delivering high quality products to homeowners as well working closely with the security sector across the globe.”
