Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Patlock After Dragons’ Den?
Patlock appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2017, Series 14 Episode 13. The business was a home security device for conservatory doors. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Craig Knott walked into the Den in 2017 with a home security device for conservatory doors. They were asking for £90,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Craig Knott left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Patlock is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2017, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Patlock Still in Business?
Yes. Patlock appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
