JB Architectural Ironmongery - The Wholesalers To The Trade

50 Years of Wilka

Just three months after opening for business back in 1968, JB Architectural Ironmongery became the sole UK distributor for WILKA’s product range of door locks.

WILKA has been operating in Germany since the mid-1800s, with the company having had six generations of founder Wilhelm Karrenberg’s family involved in operations.

JBAI has now had half a century working alongside WILKA – and this partnership remains as strong as ever.

A JBAI van from the ‘olden days’

With WILKA having a long and impressive history of innovation and product development, we at JBAI are delighted to be able to bring their exceptional door locks, handles and other door furniture to architectural ironmongers across the United Kingdom!

You’ll now find more about WILKA throughout our website, including a dedicated product category that groups all of their fantastic products in one place.
