About CES Security Solutions UK
More than just a manufacturer, we offer full service. Our experience, our knowledge and our precision engineered products exceed standards.
As experts in security, we work in collaboration with architects, AIs and the end-user to design systems to their bespoke requirements, not around our products.
CES Security Solutions (UK) Limited was established in 2009. We are a full member of the GAI and the MLA.
We pride ourselves on being a unique team of engineers focused on providing optimum security and flexibility for our customers through precision engineering and quality product.
We work in collaboration with architects, design teams and the end-user, as early in the process as possible, to plan a locking system specific to your project.
Our Managing Director, Mario Del-Signore has worked in the locking industry and specifically within master key systems for over 35 years. His commitment to the industry and his leadership career in ironmongery has been recognised by the GAI. He was appointed as President of the Guild in 2021.
