We understand the paramount importance of security, especially when it comes to safeguarding a home or business.

Recently, our advanced SIEGENIA security hardware was put to the test. An attempted break-in was met with resounding resistance, showcasing the effectiveness of our state-of-the-art systems, as generously shared by our valued customer, Berdick Windows & Doors.

Here’s a glimpse of the attempted break-in:

A staggering 77% of burglars gain access through windows and doors, making these areas critical points of vulnerability.

This incident underscores the critical role of robust security measures in safeguarding your property. SIEGENIA offers a range of advanced hardware solutions, meticulously designed to provide maximum protection against unauthorized entry.

Resistance is achieved through our specially engineered hardware. For example, mushroom cams, strategically positioned around the sash or slab, lock securely onto flat, robust striker plates anchored into the frame. This formidable system ensures intruders face significant obstacles when attempting to breach your security.

Fentro Lift & Slide Doors were developed in combination with some of the best components available, including high quality hardware to allow for smooth and elegant door operations of even the biggest and heaviest doors.

Standard Hardware configurations include:

• Smooth Gliding Bogie rollers carrying up to 300kg of Sash weight effortlessly.
• Spring Loaded Comfort Gears for controlled Handled swing.
• Gear Dampers, transmitting handle force without stroke loss or cracking noise.
• Security Features conforming to RC2 resistance class.
• Virtually maintenance free rollers.

Optional Hardware Features

• Enhanced Bogie roller Kit for sash weights up to 400Kg distributed across 8 rollers.
• Compact Bogie roller design or greater glass to frame ratios.
• Additional pneumatic damper for greater handle rotation support.

We are pleased to be at FenCon18, happening March 1+2 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We will be at Booth 15 to speak with attendees, and to learn from the great lineup of speakers. Come by, say hi and chat with us about how Fentro can help your business!

It has often been said that when a door closes, a window of opportunity opens.

That was the case for the founders of Fentro Technologies, a trio of entrepreneurs who immigrated to Canada from Germany with a vision to bring European tilt-and-turn windows to North American fabricators.

Having operated a manufacturing plant for many years, they understood the challenges associated with the industry’s supply chain, and they knew there had to be a better way.

“There were too many different European suppliers required to complete the final product,” says Fentro general manager Eduard Braun.

“The company’s mission from the beginning has been to bridge the gap between the window and door fabricator and its European-based suppliers of profiles, hardware and accessories, through support and service.”

Fentro grew rapidly after it was founded in 2001 in Delta, B.C. In 2006, its head office was moved to a 30,000-square-foot building in Morden and today, the company is a leading distributor of window and door systems, focusing on three core areas of service: Patio doors and uPVC profile systems, hardware and tools, and interior shadings.

“Our extensive knowledge of tilt-and-turn window systems and European door systems, from engineering and development to warehousing and logistics, allows Fentro to provide North American window and door manufacturers with cutting-edge European fenestration products and solutions,” Braun says.

“With more than 60 years of combined experienced in the fenestration industry, we are dedicated to sharing our knowledge of the tilt-and-turn system to help fabricators offer their customers a high-quality window product that meets North American building codes and requirements.”

Fentro also offers preassembled lift and slide doors that can easily be integrated into product offerings.

“Our experience has equipped us to be able to assist our customers in not only the supply chain, but also in helping create the manufacturing process,” Braun says.

“Our knowledge of work flow, equipment requirements, and scaling allows us to aid our customers in a large part of the fabrication process.”

The company provides a wide range of products, including French shutters and balcony systems. However, one of Fentro’s greatest assets is its staff of close to 20 full-time workers.

“Our staff is experienced with design, fabrication and distribution of these products,” Braun says. “We strive to offer superior customer service with support to the fabricator just starting up or the seasoned fabricator.”
