Bricard

Bricard is a French brand of locking, access-management and door-security products. Its professional website presents the company as a manufacturer and describes its offer as a broad range of products for managing access and equipping doors while respecting building regulations. The site addresses professional customers and projects across several building types, including housing, hotels, offices, healthcare and education. Its catalog spans mortise locks, surface-mounted locks, cylinders and master-key systems, access control, panic and rapid-opening hardware, door closers and controlled-closing systems, safes, bolts, padlocks and security doors. The site also highlights connected access control and named ranges such as Serial XPi, Révolution and XE360. These offerings address both security of property and safety of people, as well as practical requirements for different buildings and projects. Bricard describes its manufacturing expertise as French and points to an industrial site in the Vimeu, a historic lockmaking area. Its company page emphasizes product design, analysis and conformity, continuous improvement, industrial production and logistics, alongside technical and commercial support for customers. The brand's history, as summarized on that page, is connected to the Sterlin hardware business, the Bricard family and the CISA group. The same page identifies Allegion as a group whose portfolio includes Bricard, but the supplied material does not specify the date or legal details of Bricard's current ownership. No founding year, headquarters address, named current executive or dated product launch is established by the supplied evidence.

The supplied company history traces Bricard's origins to the Sterlin hardware business. It says Louis-Charles founded the Sterlin hardware store in Paris, selling locks made in Feuquières-en-Vimeu. The account then says he welcomed Eugène Bricard, who became manager five years later and took responsibility for the Sterlin brand. It does not provide calendar dates for these events, so the founding year and chronology cannot be established from this source. The company account credits Bricard with inventing a lock using pass keys, described as the origin of what is now known as the Bricard master-key system. It also says Bricard created and developed standards in the lockmaking sector. The page mentions Alfred Bricard's retirement, but supplies no date or further biographical details. The subsequent corporate history is presented as a sequence without dates. It refers to the formation of the Allegion group and identifies Bricard among the brands in Allegion's portfolio for the French market, alongside SIMON&VOSS, CISA, Interflex and Normbau. It also recounts the SOFER group's acquisition of control of CISA, the full acquisition of CISA by the US-based Ingersoll Rand Limited, Bricard's acquisition by CISA and the grouping of subsidiaries, and the opening of a new industrial site at Feuquières-en-Vimeu in the Somme. The supplied material does not give dates for those transactions or establish a more precise sequence among them. Today, Bricard's professional website presents it as a manufacturer serving building projects with locks, cylinders, access control and other door-security products. It describes French manufacturing expertise and an industrial site in the Vimeu, and emphasizes product design, conformity, continuous improvement and technical customer support. The available evidence does not establish a founding year, current headquarters address, or dated milestones for its product ranges.
