We asked...
”If you own a glass shop, a showroom, a trade counter or a depot... read on”.
You did!
In the September issue of Glass News we asked ‘If you own a glass shop, a showroom, a trade counter or a depot…read on. You did!’ The response to our appeal in last months edition has been outstanding, and has proven to us that the MPL Approved Stockist model has hit the right note with the industry. We believe becoming an MPL stockist is the most exciting, the most cost effective, and the most profitable opportunity in the market at the minute.
MPL is a supplier of all the multi-point locks the industry has ever seen To re-cap, MPL is a supplier of multi-point locks; more accurately we are a supplier of all the multi-point locks the industry has ever seen, with an incredible range of stock unrivalled in our field. Our business is very simple, to supply replacements door locks ( along with window hardware) to the industry for where original installations have broken down or are at the end of their natural lifecycle and need replacing.
The replacement lock market is one of the fastest growing sectors in the industry The replacement lock market is one of the fastest growing sectors in the industry. At our existing trade counters and via our internet sales we continue to see a rapidly rising trend towards people needing to replace their door and window hardware due to failure and breakdown of the original components. This shouldn’t surprise us, the industry is now in a mature phase, and door and window hardware was never designed to have a lifetime guarantee. What we are seeing is a real growth spurt in this area and what is really interesting is that it is not just the trade lads who come to our counters, it is also members of the public who bring their existing locks and ask if we can replace them. The big thing for us now is to have as many locally based outlets as possible.
