During the years of this report, homeowners have become more aware of their home security weaknesses and after doing very little research, they realise that unskilled intruders can be in their home in under 10 seconds. They then start searching for the best protection possible. The Sunday Times reports Brisant’s Ultion and Lock 12 Lock sales growth at 111% every year for these three years. CEO Nick Dutton says: “There is homeowner demand for the best, and when they realise how little the cost difference is between normal and best, they buy it.What separates our products is designing them to achieve as much as possible and not down to a standard. Whether it be doing a 1,100,000 lock cycles when only 100,000 are needed, 8000+ weather test hours when 240 are needed or having the only Sold Secure accredited door handle on the market.” www.brisant-secure.com JAN/FEB 2020 locksmithjournal.co.uk Issue Takeover Magazine Sponsor
