“This new partnership is a reflection of our dedication to providing dependable solutions”

ZOO Hardware was established in Carlisle in 2009 with the aim of supplying unique, quality hardware for the discerning customer. 

From three employees in a portable cabin within a decade, ZOO had become a multi‐million pound business with their products featuring in some of the country’s most striking buildings. Architects and contractors across the country now rely on ZOO for attractive, design‐led hardware that represents outstanding value for money without ever compromising on quality. ZOO’s wide range of products mean that they can always offer the right hardware solution whatever the project or application, not only for commercial properties but also residential projects. 

ZOO’s acquisition by UK security experts ERA in 2018 started a new chapter in the company’s history, with more investment in innovation and new technology to develop new, stand out products at affordable prices.
