Legge
Legge is a heritage British lock and latch brand with roots in Willenhall (the UK’s traditional lockmaking hub). Allegion UK traces the brand’s history back to 1881, and Legge is still best known for dependable “everyday” mortice locks, sashlocks, latches, nightlatches, and bathroom locks—the kind of core door hardware that shows up everywhere from period homes to general commercial fit-outs.
Today, Legge is part of Allegion, sitting alongside other door-hardware brands in the group’s portfolio. Allegion positions Legge as a premium, durable hardware line for commercial and institutional use, while in the UK it’s particularly associated with residential-style lockcases and latches sold through trade and ironmongery channels.
On the compliance side, Legge ranges include British Standard options such as BS 3621 5-lever mortice deadlocks (often used for insurance-friendly front door security), with product pages calling out attack resistance features and UKCA/ratings where applicable.
