Banham Patent Locks is a family owned company established in 1926.[1] William F. Banham invented the first automatic latch bolt lock in 1926 after a series of burglaries on his wife's dress shop. After shortly opening up his own locksmith shop on London's Oxford Street, He offered £25 to anyone who could pick or break one of his patented locks [2][3] Banham continue to offer their expensive redesigned patented locks and security key registration system.[4][5]
The Company prides itself on being a one stop shop, providing all aspects of security. Which include high-tech CCTV systems, intruder alarms and solid doors.[6] The company also specialises in personal security for celebrities and politicians[7]
Banham expanded their operations and reconfigured their website for customers to purchase their Patented locks and products online in 2008.[8] The company head office is based in Vauxhall, London. With stores in Kensington, Golders Green, Maidenhead and Guildford.[9]
Banham plan to move to a purpose built headquarters in Earlsfield from their offices in Vauxhall in 2015[10]
