The origins of a longstanding collaboration
Why form a partnership like this?
In the early seventies, Michel Pion, the founder of Portes et Fenêtres Verdun, was interested in the products Standard Doors had to offer. On a quest for excellence and out of a desire to collaborate with a reliable Quebec-based supplier, he was impressed with the long-term vision of Standard Doors, as well as the company’s automated equipment, which was on the cutting-edge for its time.
He saw Standard Doors as a company that was offering not only a high-quality product but also exceptional service and guaranteed dependability. Over the years, the numerous interactions and mutual exchange of advice between the two companies reinforced this impression, solidifying their status as commercial partners and strategic collaborators.
A relationship built on friendship and trust
As their professional partnership developed, Michel Pion and Barry Yane forged a strong bond based on mutual respect and confidence. Their professional interaction gave way to a sincere, long-lasting friendship. Barry has fond memories of Michel and considers him one of the people who had the most profound influence on his life. Michel earned this high esteem thanks to his unfailing honesty, vision and integrity. As Barry likes to recall, if Michel said he was going to do something, he did it!
Patio door security: the strong suit of Standard Doors
Security is a top priority at Standard Doors. At a time when burglaries were increasingly common, the company invested heavily in research and development to guarantee its clients unrivaled protection.
Not surprisingly, statistics show that approximately 22 percent of break-ins occur at the back door. Aware of this vulnerability, Standard Doors developed an exclusive patio door locking system to thwart the efforts of potential burglars.
This exceptional mechanism doesn’t just meet, but exceeds industry standards. The locking system complies with Canadian standard CGSB-82-1M89, and more impressive still, it passed the most rigorous burglary break-in test in North America with aplomb, earning Level 40 ASTM F842-83 certification. With these virtually impenetrable doors, you can sleep soundly.
The key elements of this exclusive locking system include the following:
- Double stainless steel hooks
- Stainless steel load distribution bolts
- Anti-lifting blocks, preventing thieves from lifting the panels from the outside
- Level 40 locks with “D” handles
- Sturdy stainless steel strikes bolted to security plates, which reinforce the strike in the wood frame
These safety elements are integrated in an elegant design that will harmonize perfectly with your décor and underscore the look you have in mind for your yard.
Choosing products from Standard Doors means opting for incomparable security. Their innovations are veritable bastions against intrusion, offering peace of mind like no other. It’s this determination to offer the very best to our clients that has brought us together, nourishing a collaboration that goes far beyond simple security.
