THE STORY OF RUGLOCK

It all began with an idea…

…as most everything does. After 16 years of manufacturing premium, water-based flooring adhesives for Spray-Lock, Inc., inspiration struck. What if we could use our flooring adhesives for rugs? Our chemist and technical team set out to do just that. They wanted a product that could be applied to the back of rugs that kept them from slipping, forming a permanent rug backing with enough tack that would adhere to any surface without damaging floors. This was no small feat! After months and months of testing and tweaking the formula, RugLock was created. During this time, Fred Land, the President and CEO of Spray-Lock, Inc., received horrible news. His mother was injured after tripping on a loose rug in her bathroom. Just two months later, she passed away from complications from that very fall. Hitting so close to home, this tragedy gave Fred the determination to make sure RugLock was in every house, on every rug, to help prevent as many trip and fall accidents as possible.
