Why Magenta and Travis Perkins Chose Jackloc for Window Safety in Social Housing
When it comes to safety in social housing, quality and reliability aren’t just nice to have – they’re essential. For Magenta Living, one of the largest housing associations in the North West, selecting the right window restrictor for their high-rise buildings was a critical decision. Their choice? Jackloc – the UK’s leading name in window safety and security.
We recently spoke with Magenta Living and Travis Perkins, who supplied the Jackloc products for this project, to understand what made Jackloc the standout choice and how it performed during installation and delivery.
Why Jackloc was the right fit
From the outset, product quality and variety stood out for Magenta.
“The quality of the locking mechanism and the different options available – like the Pro-5 and Perma cable – really gave us confidence we could get the right fit for the job,”
Jackloc offers a range of BS EN 13126 and BS EN 14351 compliant window restrictors, giving housing associations like Magenta the flexibility to select safety solutions that suit different types of properties and refurbishment projects.
Safety, quality and installation that sets Jackloc apart
For Magenta, using Jackloc meant a step up in quality compared to previous window restrictors used.
“We needed consistent, high-quality products throughout our high-rise portfolio. With Jackloc, we’ve found a product that’s not only concealed and easy to install, but one that we can trust in the long term.”
Ease of installation was also a big plus for the teams on-site. Installers praised the clear instructions and the simple fitting process, making large-scale rollouts faster and more efficient.
UK-Made, Trusted Quality
Magenta and Travis Perkins both highlighted how important it is that Jackloc’s products are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the UK.
“The build quality is up to British Standards, and the strength of the cable is unmatched by alternative brands,” said the Magenta representative.
From the robust product lifecycle to next-day delivery, Jackloc offered a dependable solution tailored for demanding social housing environments.
Service you can count on
When asked about the experience working with the Jackloc team, both Magenta and Travis Perkins pointed to the professionalism, responsiveness, and customer service.
“The team was always at hand for advice and support,” said Magenta.
Gavin Paget at Travis Perkins added, “Jackloc delivers a high-quality product that exceeds current safety legislation, giving our clients additional peace of mind.”
Looking ahead
Magenta has already set its sights on future uses for Jackloc window restrictors.
“We’ll be using Jackloc again on upcoming high-rise refurbishments and window replacement projects.”
With safety and security at the heart of every housing association project, Jackloc’s combination of British engineering, stringent safety compliance, and trusted service is setting the standard in the sector.
