Founded in 1818 by brothers Charles and Jeremiah Chubb, the Chubb lock company was well-renowned in London. In 1823, the firm was awarded with a license to work for King George lV and the royal household. Chubb was also known as the sole supplier during this time to the General Post Office and Her Majesty's Prison Service.
Chubb opened its first location in London on 57 St Paul’s Churchyard. Here they remained until 1877, until they moved to 128 Queen Victoria Street. They have since expanded and changed locations over time and the firm still remains in business today.
