Aldridge
Aldridge Security is a private, family-owned, trade-only security wholesaler and one of the biggest names in UK & Ireland distribution for locksmiths and security installers. They position themselves as the largest trade-only security wholesaler in the UK & Ireland, built around a simple promise: right product, right price, on time - and they’ve deliberately stuck to the independent trade rather than supplying DIY superstores.
Based in Birmingham, the company has a long operating history: the Aldridge Security Limited entity was incorporated in January 1965, while Aldridge itself markets 75+ years of industry experience as a wholesaler.
In practical terms, Aldridge is a “one-stop trade cupboard” for security: they advertise tens of thousands of products in stock, live stock/price info, and same-day despatch, covering areas like access control, locking, ironmongery/hardware, locksmith tools and accessories, key cutting, UPVC, and more (including their own-brand ASEC range).
