New retro lock to save lives in style
Award-winning window lock supplier Jackloc has created a new
retro-look restrictor to combine safety with style.
Jackloc, which exports its unique
window and door restrictors all
over the world, has come up with
the new transparent design to fit
in with the modern trend for a
more stripped-down, utilitarian
look to fixtures and fittings.
The lock has all the features of
existing Jacklocs but has a chrome
finish with a transparent sleeve to
reveal the metal cable beneath.

‘Improving safety
and reducing the
risk of falls from
windows is still
the driving force
behind our work’

It was produced after two
prestigious hotels in Dubai asked
Jackloc to create a purely polished
chrome lock, to fit in with the
modern décor in their rooms.
Emma Wells, Director of
Jackloc, said: “Improving safety
and reducing the risk of falls from
windows is still the driving force
behind our work.
“But, with this new retro-style
product, we can cater for different
modern trends and tastes. It is
vital now, with people’s increasing
interest in interior design, to
provide a product that can fit in
with this environment.
“By appealing to modern tastes,
we hope to appeal to a wider range
of customers, and thereby help
save more lives.

“We believe this new product
could open up a whole new
market, offering a design which
fits in with a variety of settings
– whether the rustic charm of a
cottage, the minimalist chic of a
contemporary apartment or the
characterful features of a renovated
Victorian home.
“Safe does not have to mean
dull or stuffy – the new retro lock
combines style with substance,
making safety more appealing.
“We are really excited by this
idea, which has been suggested by
hoteliers in the Middle East. It’s
not only potentially a huge deal
but it really opens up the way in
which we design our new products
moving forward.” Family-run firm
Jackloc, which created the original

universal window restrictor 11
years ago, also recently unveiled a
new ‘push-and-turn’ design which
doesn’t need a key to lock it into
position or release it.

‘Safe does not have
to mean dull or
stuffy - new retro
lock combines a
style with substance,
making safety
more appealing’
