Hand & Lock

Hand & Lock is an embroidery company that is a fusion of two, great, long established, embroidery businesses.In 2001 these two, extraordinary companies; S. Lock and M. Hand, merged to form Hand & Lock. And more recently in 2003, joined with MBA Costumes bringing all the elements of military, fashion and couture, and entertainment together under one roof. The Hand & Lock brand was thus created.

Hand & Lock's commitment to produce only the highest quality hand embroidered products, ensures that the company maintains its place as the leading supplier of all types of embroidery. Hand crafted work will always give a touch of quality to any garment. Investment in new technology to the business will provide a faster design service and a better response to customer enquiries. All of which leads Hand & Lock confidently into the 21st century, whilst preserving all that is the best of its proud history.
