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 strippeddown, 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.
“By appealing to modern tastes, we hope
to appeal to a wider range of customers,
and thereby help save more lives.
‘Improving safety and
reducing the risk of falls from
windows is still the driving
force behind our work’
“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.
