Family Values
The Banham family, employees and our customers are now in their fourth generation. Skills continue to be passed down from senior to junior members of staff, often from the same families, and employees that began as trainee locksmiths are now division leads. Our family values extend throughout our business, and together with our academy and apprenticeships, we continue to invest in the security experts of the future.
About Banham
Banham has been a name that the residents and businesses of London have been able to rely on for their individual security needs since 1926, when William F. Banham invented the first ever automatic door bolt. Since then our reputation has grown throughout London, south east England and beyond. From our patent locks, to our state-of-the-art alarms and stunning front doors, we're the premium one-stop shop for our customers' security needs. We're also still family-owned, into our fourth generation and pride ourselves on our family values which are at the heart of everything we do.
