THE THRULANE LTD STORY
In 1981 Gary Barrs founded the company now known as Thrulane Ltd. The first locksmith shop was opened in Shepherds Bush, London, shortly followed by another in Fulham. A sister company was established installing electronic alarms and access control systems. In 1990 the locksmith company was sold, and the first factory was opened manufacturing grilles, gates, railings and full height turnstiles. A service for the installation of these products was then introduced, as well as automatic gate operators and access control equipment to compliment the company’s excellent manufactured goods. This marriage of electronics, steel and Thrulane Ltd's capabilities, has created a cutting-edge company unique in the marketplace. With our manufacturing site, we are able to control costs and provide a quick turnaround for clients requiring turnstiles, electric gates, automatic barriers and access solutions in London and across the UK.
OUR MISSION
At Thrulane Ltd, we manufacture and supply high-quality products and carry out the whole installation without the need to subcontract any of the works. This includes all ground works and electricity supply being undertaken by Thrulane's own NAPIT qualified engineers. Having worked for the company since they were very young, Nick Barrs (director) and Mark Barrs (site supervisor), the second generation of this family run business, have been brought up with the view that service is paramount to the growth of the company. Our customers and clients can be assured of the best service available. We now export our manufactured goods such as turnstiles, barriers, and other security and access products, as well as our expertise, to Africa, Asia, and the United Emirates. We have also just been given a grant by the EU for developing a unique range of turnstiles that have been sold all over the world.
