Jackloc creates
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.
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.
‘We believe this new product could
open up a whole new market’
“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
Jackloc is the original,
award-winning universal
window restrictor
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.
