A Family-Owned Business, A Legacy of Expertise

Since 1992, we have been dedicated to the craft of architectural ironmongery. At our core, we are a family-owned business, built on a passion for quality hardware and genuine, expert advice. Today, our close-knit team of dedicated specialists continues a story that began over three decades ago.

When you work with us, you're not just buying a product; you are partnering with a team that is invested in the success of your project, whether you are a trade professional or a home renovator.


Our Story: Over 30 Years in British Ironmongery

Our journey is built on the life's work of our founder, Ron Backhouse. In 1992, after a long and successful career in the industry, Ron and his son Brad founded Wyatt Crocker Limited, the company that would grow to become the Ironmongery Experts you see today.

Though we sadly lost Ron in 2020, his legacy of knowledge and his personable approach to service are the cornerstones of our business. Today, his sons Brad (Finance Director) and Dean (Technical Director) proudly continue this legacy, leading a dedicated team and ensuring those founding values live on.


A Legacy of Professional Expertise

The "Experts" in our name is a title we take seriously. From our founding, we have believed in investing in the highest standards of professional knowledge. This principle was established by our founder, Ron, and is a core part of our company's DNA.

We are proud to continue this legacy, ensuring our team is equipped with the skills and training needed to provide advice that is accurate, reliable, and up-to-date with the latest industry standards. This long-standing commitment to the training principles of the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) is your guarantee of quality.
