The ila Security Difference

ila Security constantly evaluates the question of personal safety in order to give women the confidence they need to run their lives. Creating ultra-reliable security alarms is only the first step; what customers need are innovative products that make a real difference. ila’s accessories not only help keep women safe – surveys reveal that 68% of women are seriously concerned about their personal safety – but they are as multi-tasking as the women who use them.


The stylish ila Dusk Personal Alarm looks great so that you’ll be proud to keep it on display. And instead of emitting a simple alarm, it ‘screams’, an innovation following research that reveals passersby are more likely to respond to a human voice than to something that sounds like a house or car alarm.


Everyone has to carry keys, which means needing a keyring. ila's great-value and tactile version, the ila Pebble Keyring Alarm, features an in-built, high-decibel alarm activated at the touch of a button.


You could just carry an alarm to help give protection when out jogging or walking in the dark. But wouldn’t it be better if that alarm could be combined with a great-looking, easy-to-use pedometer, milometer, and calorie-counter? Enter the ila Sport Pedometer Alarm. Hopefully you’ll never have to activate its ear-piercing alarm, but it’s there on your arm if you need it. And its backlit panel means it can also be used as a torch.


The ila Wedge Door Alarm is for travellers, university students or anyone uneasy about sleeping solo in a hotel room, hall of residence or other shared accommodation. It's stylish and easy to use: simply place the wedge under the door to make it harder to open, and should anyone try and force entry they’ll be repelled by an ear-splitting alarm which will also summon assistance.


It’s not just women that ila Security protects, but their possessions. And there are few possessions that are as valuable, in financial, practical and emotional terms, as a handbag. The sturdy ila Handbag Hook clips a bag firmly to a table, out of view and reach of potential thieves; not to mention off what might be a grubby floor. Adding the essential ila Security difference, the ila Handbag Hook incorporates something every handbag needs – an integral mirror. Use it to check your make-up, and even more importantly, to discreetly check if you’re being watched. 


In a word, the ila Wordlock Combination Lock helps keep your luggage under wraps. Traditional padlock number codes, unlike a favourite word, can be hard to remember. The ila Wordlock Combination Lock comes in a range of bright and buzzy colours, and is TSA (Travel Sentry Approved). This means when travelling to the US airport officials can open it with a special key, rather than forcing entry and damaging it and your bag.
