ILS
ILS (Italian Locking Systems) is a UK trade security brand best known for heavy-duty locking products aimed at two very specific, very real-world sectors: the roller shutter trade and the container hire / site security world. In other words: if it’s metal, outdoors, and someone’s trying to defeat it with an angle grinder and bad intentions, ILS is probably in the conversation.
ILS started trading in 1987, initially selling roller shutter locks, padlocks and shutter components, and later became affiliated members of the British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA).
What they’re known for
ILS built its name on roller shutter locking and the hardware that goes with it:
-
Bullet locks for roller shutters (common models like the FDM007-1 round-face style), typically sold with features like 5-pin locking and key removal only in the locked position.
-
Central shutter locks / espagnolette-style locks (including “Prefer” variants that accept a Euro cylinder, useful when you want to standardise keying).
-
Trade channels also position ILS as a major stockist/supplier for container padlocks, bullet locks, guide locks, ground units, and related site-security components.
