Company Profile

Back in 1976 a horrific news report inspired the creation of India's first pin-tubular security device. The newspapers carried a story of a murder, where an unsuspecting young girl was stabbed to death by her regular milkman. This gruesome incident prompted the erstwhile Mr. Henry Lasrado, from being a technocrat who made mechanical spares for IBM to venture into the engineering business by creating a one-of-its-kind security device that ensured safety and security for homes without disrupting the household routine. With this, SOBEET introduced to India pin-tubular technology.

SOBEET is presently run by Keith Shenoy (Second Generation), a Mechanical Engineer from the Manipal Institute of Technology.  As CEO Keith Shenoy has grown the business to its present status as a quality-driven lock manufacturer and is the key person behind the excellent rapport SOBEET enjoys with all its clients of 30 years and more — builders, project managers, architects, site engineers, hoteliers and end users.
