Dindigul 2.5 Inches Handmade Iron Safety Padlock

Dindigul locks are truly remarkable and deserve high praise. The first Dindigul lock is said to have been commissioned by Tipu Sultan, the 18th-century ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore in southern India, to guard a fort on the summit of a steep hill in the heart of the city.

With a history spanning several generations, these locks have stood the test of time, reflecting the traditional craftsmanship of the skilled artisans who create them. The artistry and attention to detail that go into each lock are truly remarkable.

A product of indigeneous craftmanship, the Dindigul lock owes its fool-proof design and strength to the rich imaginative ingenuity of the locksmiths, which perhaps draws inspiration from the Roman lock designs or those designed by Chubbs or Bramah or even the modern Yale Lock.

Dindugal Locks got its recognition of Geographical Indication tag in 2019 for its remarkable quality.
