Brothers Charles and Jeremiah Chubb began their careers as ironmongers in Portsmouth.
In 1818, Jeremiah invented and patented the famous Chubb 'Detector Lock' after a government challenge to create a lock that couldn't be picked. The lock had a built-in mechanism that made it unusable if tampered with, and it remained unpicked until the Great Exhibition in 1851.
In the early years, the Chubb brothers focused on designing and making locks. They later expanded into other security products, and in 1835, they patented their first burglar-resistant safe.
After Charles died at age 75, the business was continued by his son and partner, John Chubb.
