A Complete Federal Offering
» » NEARLY 12 MONTHS ON FROM
becoming Federal Lock stockist for the
UK, Brisant Secure has seen strong
sales growth, thanks to over 1,000 stock
lines, online ordering and a next day
delivery promise, as Steve Stewart CEO
explains…
While our business has primarily been
built on the overriding success of Ultion,
our 3 Star Sold Secure Diamond cylinder
and more recently the Lock Lock
security handle, our sales of Federal
branded products have increased
substantially since we started in January
this year.
Based in Taiwan, Federal Lock
Company is a world-class manufacturer
of quality security products that
was established over 50 years ago.
The company also remains a family
business boasting over
30 worldwide patents and
registered trademarks in
36 countries.
The Federal brand
includes a wide range of
padlocks and cylinders
as well as door, window
and furniture locks, all
carefully engineered to meet the
highest industry standards. Its ultra-high
security padlocks and lock cylinders
have attained ASTM 883 grade 6 in the
USA, Sold Secure Diamond grade and
BS EN1303 in the UK and CEN 5 rating
across Europe.
But the previous long-term supplier
of Federal Products ceased trading,
so we took the opportunity to stock
over 1,000 product lines satisfying the
requirements from locksmiths across the
UK. By utilising our already established
infrastructure we have introduced a
service to Federal product not seen
before, including next-day delivery,
on-line ordering and text notification of
delivery times.
Our online ordering system means
that locksmiths can order 24/7 and
there’s even real time tracking of stock,
so locksmiths can see how many items
are available for them to buy. Deliveries
can be made to locksmiths or to any
other address directly.

Our personal
relationships with
Federal Lock go back
over 10 years so there’s
a mutual level of trust that brings with it
a dependable, consistent supply service.
There’s also the reassurance that we
have the infrastructure and resources to
offer such a broad product range from
stock, acting as a single source.
We’ve added a dedicated ‘Federal
Product’ section on our website at www.
brisant-secure.com, which includes
many of the popular padlocks and also
the Federal UCF Sold Secure Diamond
grade cylinder, which offers much greater
key control thanks to its magnetic pin.
Other popular products include hasp and
staple, garage door locks and patio locks,
standard cylinders and there’s an express
Master Key service across the range.
The feedback has been very strong
from customers who previously suffered
with supply issues for Federal Products
and now have the re-assurance that
they are dealing with a strong business.
