• Brisant Takes To ALPS As New Year Arrives

As the new year started, Brisant Secure acquired the business and intellectual property and critical security patents, including ALPS, of Deseo Locking Systems Limited for an undisclosed sum.

The Deseo Automatic Lock Protection System (ALPS) cylinder is UK and European patented. It is claimed the system resists all well-known and many lesser-known forced entry methods.

Deseo’s Mark O’Sullivan says: “Unlike other 3-star cylinders that give protection when attacked, ALPS gives maximum security at all times. This clever, innovative design therefore protects against all existing attacks. And it’s this elegant, simple design concept that also protects against most of the attack methods burglars and locksmiths might imagine.”

Mark and Marcus O’Sullivan will stay on with the business, with Mark joining the Brisant-Secure board as Deseo director.

Brisant CEO Nick Dutton says: “This is our first Brisant-Secure acquisition. Mark and Marcus are both successful innovators.”

Growth

Dutton adds: “Following the growth of our award winning, smart security range, including Ultion Nuki, Ultion Bolt and more recently our Ultion window handle range, this is a major step on the road to future proofing home security. And it’s a significant development in the evolution of Brisant as a hardware house.”

Beat the burglar

He continues: “Burglars will never stop trying to find new ways to break locks. It will continue to be a constant tussle between attackers and defenders, a see-saw when one side achieves a temporary advantage over the other. I think it’s true to say that in this see-saw Deseo firmly tips the balance in favour of homeowners. Not only does it protect against all existing attack methods, it also protects against most of the future attacks we can imagine.”

Synergy

O’Sullivan says: “I don’t think Deseo Locking Systems could have found a better home. Brisant will be an active partner with the resources and the mindset to help us develop the Deseo products and achieve the full potential of Deseo and Brisant Secure. In my new role as Deseo director for Brisant Secure, the opportunities for synergy and growth are particularly exciting.”
