TrimLock™ Roof Hip & Ridge Systems
Patented, Industry-Changing Performance for Tile Roofing
TrimLock™ is one of East Coast Metals’ most significant innovations and a defining product within the tile roofing industry. First introduced in 1999, ECM engineered the industry’s original metal hip and ridge anchor, establishing a new standard for durability and long-term performance.
Driven by the need for stronger connections and fewer roof penetrations, ECM later developed and patented the first metal hip and ridge anchor featuring a foam interlocking system. This advancement improved installation efficiency and enhanced wind uplift resistance, making TrimLock™ one of the most trusted solutions in hurricane-prone regions.
Today, TrimLock™ and TrimLock Plus™ continue to be relied on by leading tile manufacturers, roofing professionals, and distributors throughout the United States and Caribbean.
