William Channon

Now trading for over a 100 years our professional team can assist you at all the critical stages of your project, from initial consultation, product selection and installation, through to on-going product support and maintenance. We have a comprehensive range of key cutting machinery including 3 electronic machines which cut precision keys to the fine tolerances required by the original lock manufacturer. Keeping your building and colleagues safe is crucial. If you experience a break in, loss of keys or just need advice on an existing system having a locksmith and access control specialist at hand, who are ready to react quickly and efficiently is essential.

As a leader in secure ironmongery solutions we know how important looking after your door hardware is. The entrance to any building is the busiest area, so the continued operation of your entrance products is vital. Undertaking regular service and maintenance can prevent unexpected hardware breakdowns and assist in prolonging the life of your products. As a busy facilities manager or business owner, keeping on top of what needs checking by when could lead to problems if you're not adhering to regulations.

We've been in operation since 1917, and our experienced and trusted locksmiths are here to help you decide on the most cost-effective and timely installation for your premises. Unfortunately, the UK doesn't currently have a licensing scheme, but we are accredited by the Master Locksmiths Association, the leading trade body overseeing the standards and training in our industry. As such, you can rest assured William Channon can be relied upon for all your business locksmith needs, operating with integrity, honesty and skill.

We have solutions for customers who like to stay connected and those who prefer their access control solutions to operate separately to their network. When choosing online, businesses can benefit from a system without wires, saving on the cost and hassle of wiring your building. Whether you choose online or offline solutions, you'll be able to benefit from CLIQ Go and eCLIQ (digital cylinders), ASSA Abloy CLIQ (electromechanical cylinders), door handle sets (escutcheons) and wall readers. CLIQ, although appearing the same as a traditional mechanical cylinder, offers users a higher standard of security thanks to innovative technology.

We have a comprehensive range of key cutting machinery including 3 electronic machines which cut precision keys to the fine tolerances required by the original lock manufacturer. Using our expertise we can advise on the best, most effective ways to keep you and your property secure. We would like to advise customers that we will continue to be open for business although our retail area will be closed (from Thursday). All other departments will continue to operate, including sales, cylinder assembly workshop and locksmith services.

Descendants of the founders continue to own and operate the business today. Despite our longevity we never take your custom for granted and continue to strive to excel in meeting your demands. This history has allowed us to amass great knowledge within the architectural ironmongery and security industry as we've witnessed first-hand the products and practices as they've evolved over the years. This experience allows us to exceed your expectations as we understand not only the products that offer the maximum security for now, but also for the future.
