Introduction

A category we know by hand.

Aligarh has been making locks since 1870. A 154-year-old craft ecosystem of foundries, key-cutters, and precision-engineering units packed into a 12 km radius — producing more than 75% of India's annual lock exports. We source direct from twelve BIS-certified factories there.

Locks are the most regulated category we ship. Every African destination — SONCAP in Nigeria, KEBS in Kenya, SABS in South Africa — has specific testing requirements for security hardware. Our docs team handles all of them in-house, with PVoC agents pre-paired per route.

/ Africa relevance

How this category
moves across Africa.

High demand across all African markets. Compliance-sensitive — we manage all of it.

Every African market we ship into has its own buying rhythm. Furniture refits in Lagos run on different cycles to hotel build-outs in Mombasa or chain retail launches in Johannesburg. Our export teams track these cycles so production windows line up with sell-through, not the other way around.

/ Packaging

Built for 35-day
ocean transit.

Four-stage export packaging protocol, refined over twenty-five years and three thousand containers — designed for African port handling realities, not showroom shelves.

Stage 01

Inner protection

Individual wrapping in tissue, foam or air-cell — per product fragility. Anti-rust treatment on metals; humidity sachets on hygroscopic items.

Stage 02

Inner cartons

5-ply corrugated inner cartons with internal dividers. Cartons sized for one-person handling at African distributor warehouses.

Stage 03

Outer cartons / crates

7-ply outer cartons or ISPM-15 fumigated wooden crates for fragile items. Steel-strapped & corner-protected.

Stage 04

Container loading

Block-and-brace technique. Desiccants per CBM. Container photo manifest at door-close — sent to you on dispatch day.

Bulk pricing

FCL discounts
that scale.

Volume contracts get locked-in rates for ninety days. Mixed-category containers count toward total volume — you don't have to take a single SKU to hit the discount band.
