the most extensive range of PN reversible

53% increase in unique visitors, while there
were ten times more followers on Facebook
at the end of 2018 compared to the start.
Even consumers are now talking about the
super security products in the form of Lock

shown.
While the consumer statistics have been
impressive, the improved sales performance
have been equal with 24% more businesses
selling Brisant Secure products in 2018
than the previous year. These include
composite door manufacturers, PVCu
door fabricators and many respected
locksmiths.
On average each of these companies
sold 30% more than they did before,

secure has now become the norm.
Collectively these customers made 61%
more doors Brisant Secure in 2018 and
the expectations are again for significant
growth in 2019, as homeowners look to
make their respective properties more
secure for a very modest investment.
