What we make

Three ways into one press shop.

01

Metal pressings

Components stamped from strip on our own presses, backed by Initial Sampling Inspection Reports and Statistical Process Control, in small runs or large volumes.

02

Wire and strip forms

Spring clips, hangers and brackets formed from wire and strip, including security clips and the head track clip, made to your drawing or from our catalogue.

03

Fixings and fasteners

Since April 2022 the P&M Fixings and Fasteners range has been part of the business: screws, anchors, supports, tapes and tools, plus Arrow, Bulldog, Estwing and Marshalltown tools.

Heritage

Keymakers first. Still making things people rely on.

Since 1881 the business has grown step by step on a long tradition and continuing investment in modern processes. It became the UK’s leading manufacturer of keys and key blanks, supplying lock makers and the key replacement trade worldwide.

Today that same press and wire-forming know-how goes into ceiling clips, dry lining parts and bespoke components for the construction trade.
