About Lockmaster
We are a family run business based in Burton Upon Trent. The LockMaster was invented by narrow-boat owner, Mel Errington, after his wife, Julie, struggled to open the locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal.
The Idea
Talking to friends and other boaters at marinas and on the towpath, it became apparent that some were thinking of giving up their beloved hobby because negotiating the locks was such a strain. Mel put his mind to designing something to help and the LockMaster was born.
Pride in our Product
The LockMaster’s durability and ease-of-use lies in the fact that it is so simple and beautifully made. Every tool is hand-assembled and individually quality checked before it is packaged. It is a great example of reliable, rugged British engineering.
Personal Service
