Made in Britain

British Standard Mortice Lock

Our latest 5 lever Mortice sashlock, (product code 1215), is now manufactured to BS3621. It is supplied complete with fitting instructions and Antique style endplates which will compliment the look of our Antique range of door furniture.

Featured product: 582 automatic door catch

If you need a strong, reliable catch to hold open a gate, for example you should look no further than this product. Simple in construction, easy to fit, it will give years of service.

New Products rack bolts

We are constantly looking for new, innovative products to offer our customers and end users. Home security is an increasingly important area and we have now introduced a rack bolt for locking either a window or a door.

The endplates are painted black so now it is possible to have security bolts which match our Black window and door fasteners.

Our reputation is based upon supplying a quality product. You may find a cheaper alternative but will it last? Once these products are fitted you want them to last. You don't want to have to replace them.

Its a cliche, but you generally get what you pay for. Specify our ironmongery and you know you will be getting a high quality, durable product.

Carbon footprint

Whatever your views on global warming it is something that we cannot ignore even if we want to. Nearly every single day there seems to be a news bulletin about the subject.

Large organisations tend to make make a lot of noise about their care for the environmentand about reducing their "carbon footprint". It led us to thinking about what impact our products may have on the environment compared with similar, but inferior copies imported from India or China.

Well, here in Walsall we have a modern foundry with an Electric Induction furnace. It is very efficient and because we operate under the Environmental Protection Act our emissions to the atmosphere are minimal. Add the fact that our products do not need to be sent half way around the world to satisfy the UK market and it is probably a "no brainer", to use popular parlance. Kirkpatrick Antique Black Ironmongery is more environmentally friendly than cheap imports!
