The report provides detailed analysis of all major product groups within the market and contains insight into all major trends and issues impacting the market & a review of the supply and distribution channels.

The UK door and window fittings market is characterized by a wide range of products, with larger companies in the market being part of the wider security and access control industry. Although the market is partially linked to the door and window fabricator market, there are notable differences – with the fittings industry featuring a mix of foreign and domestic-based companies and a heavier reliance on overseas manufacturing. This, and the fact that hardware can be replaced both separately or as part of a new door/window system, meant the fittings market was more resilient during pandemic lockdowns compared to the fabricators market.

Locks is the largest product sector, followed by handles, door closers and hinges. There is much opportunity for innovation currently, with the rise of smart home products allowing an interactive home locking system offering convenience and enhanced security. Fittings can also contribute to the new Building Regulations requiring improved energy efficiency, ventilation and security.

Assa Abloy are the global leader in access control and dominate the UK fittings market with brands including Yale, and acquired competitor Arran Isle in 2022. Other major companies operating in the UK include ERA, Dormakaba, Winkhaus, Avocet and VBH. In addition to these well-established market leaders, British companies including UAP, Brisant and Hiatt are increasing their market shares year on year.
