RESEARCH REVEALS PITTING EPIDEMIC
In a question to installers,
of which 270 replied, a de-
pressing 88% have reported
that they have had pitting
problems on their hardware
in the past 12 months. In
a second question, Brisant
asked installers if they
were happy in how their
suppliers were handling
the pitting problems. Only
Brisant Secure have
recently conducted market
research into the issues of
pitting hardware and in the
way in which manufactur-
ers deal with the warranty
issues. The results clearly
show that the industry still
faces a significant pitting
issue.
22.5% in reply said they
were happy, meaning 77.5%
are not happy with their
suppliers.
With the composite door
market showing continued
strong sales performance
the issue of hardware lon-
gevity has never been so
important. With consumers
paying £000’s for a new
entrance door they will have
been sold the merits of a
near maintenance door with
a life expectancy in excess
of 20 years.
Installation companies are
still having to replace hard-
ware and with it the poten-
tial loss of referral sales.
