About Bramah
Bramah is London's oldest lock manufacturer and Marylebone's only specialist Locksmith and Burglar Alarm Company. Our offices, workshops and retail outlet have been in Central London since 1784. We manufacture our locks in Romford, Essex. Offering enhanced resistance to tampering, our locks are distinct, proven and well documented in classical and modern literature. We employ 23 people and work in partnership with a number of high quality sub-contract businesses to produce traditional products using modern methods.
With its unique mix of knowledge and capabilities, Bramah provides security solutions for a wide range of commercial, retail and domestic clients. Our security solutions not only work well today, but will work well for years to come which allows our locks to be passed down from generation to generation. Many of our products are installed in some of the greatest architectural and engineering properties of the 19th and 20th century in the United Kingdom. Our highly personalized service ensures that your facility, house, or flat will receive the same attention to detail as the architectural masterpieces we service today
Our three areas of excellence consist of:
- Lock Manufacturing, Design and Distribution;
- Locksmiths Services;
- Burglar Alarm, Access Control, Door Entry and CCTV solutions.
Locks Manufactured: The Bramah Product Line
The Bramah product line has at its core the Bramah Lock Mechanism which was designed by Joseph Bramah in 1784. This mechanism, in its updated mode is harnessed into a range of mortice deadlocks, sash locks, switches, cabinet locks and cylinders, which can be set up to work on the same key or differ to suit. In addition, full master suites on a local, national or international basis are possible. The finishes we use are of the highest quality, designed to compliment traditional and modern architectural ironmongery. The locks exceed latest British Standard and are built with the highest European Standard in mind. We make our own keys and key machines. No two keys are ever repeated and all keys can be registered directly through us.

Precious warm walking, isn't it? Said Lowton drawing a Bramah key from his pocket with a small plug therein to keep the dust out!
~ Pickwick Papers, Charles Dickens
For this he repainted the box, traced her initials on and affixed new hinges, a Bramah lock and brass handles.
~ An Unsocial Socialist, George Bernard Shaw
Billy knew the door was secured by a shunt lock, which he gratefully identified as Chubb rather than a Bramah which is reputably unpickable
~ The Fourth Protocol, Frederick Forsyth
Jagger demonstrated how to attack various locks. Bramah locks, used for diamond safes, were by far the most difficult. The pins moved horizontally through the lock and it is impossible to pick.
~ Spycatcher, Peter Wright
