FBS Partners: Trusted Security Collaborations
Perfecting The Art Of Partnership
We are introducing a new kind of partnership. We have resisted the idea of “dealers” and we have a lot of reasons.
We have always known there was more demand for our products, but we never wanted to be about just selling boxes. However, we are pretty sure we have a winning strategy for the right partners.
Step 1 Avoid “Middlemen” Resellers
The idea of selling security or specialty doors is not new. There are a lot of so-called purveyors of these types of products. However, when you look a little deeper, what they are is “the middleman”. They buy a product made outside the US (Typically Europe or China) and mark it up and sell it to a “dealer” who sells a few pieces a year. This is exactly why we have resisted the urge to have “dealers”, as they never become well versed in the capabilities and they are just another layer in the profit chain.
Step 2: Built with the Finest Components and Assembled in the USA
At FBS, we do things differently. We combine the finest components from across Europe and North America to build what we believe are the world’s most secure, most beautiful specialty doors and windows.
We’ve sourced the best from each region: precision-forged locks and hardware from Germany, advanced glazing and finishes from top European partners, and cutting-edge fabrication technology here in the United States. Every part is selected for its performance, durability, and ability to integrate seamlessly into luxury architecture.
While others rely on off-the-shelf solutions or layer in middlemen that inflate costs and limit flexibility, we build everything in-house—assembling and testing each unit at our U.S. facility. This gives us full control over quality, customization, and service.
The result is a door or window unlike anything else: a fusion of European excellence and American precision, engineered to deliver uncompromising security and effortless style.
Step 3: Find The Best Custom Hardware
Now our clients enjoy the same quality structures they always have, but they get much better hardware, technology, and finishes. In most cases for less money and in all cases better service capability.
Let’s explore this further. We are partnered with First Impressions International for Hardware. They make some the most impressive custom hardware in the world. Now we have the best security and specialty structures, paired with some of the best hardware available. We understand Italian Pride and they would likely never import hardware from America. I can tell you from personal experience the products made here are MUCH better.
Step 4: Provide The Best Finishes Available
When it comes to luxury security doors, the finish is just as important as the structure. At FBS, we offer a curated selection of architectural surface treatments that elevate both design and durability—ensuring your doors and windows are not only secure but seamlessly integrated into your space.
While porcelain has long been used as an alternative to wood, it comes with limitations—tile size restrictions, visible seams, and dependency on third-party manufacturers that may discontinue styles without notice. These constraints can compromise both aesthetic continuity and long-term serviceability.
To overcome those limitations, FBS has partnered with Nikkolor, a leader in large-format decorative finishes for architectural applications. With over 40 years of experience, Nikkolor produces made-to-order coatings in applied metal, concrete, terracotta, wood, and glass—offering virtually unlimited design possibilities for custom security and ballistic doors. Best of all, many finishes are available in oversized panels, reducing or eliminating seams for a cleaner, more cohesive appearance.
By combining FBS’s handcrafted, high-security doors with Nikkolor’s cutting-edge materials and techniques, we deliver a superior product—fully customizable, visually stunning, and engineered to perform. Whether you're designing a contemporary estate or a luxury commercial project, FBS gives you the flexibility to match your vision without compromise.
Step 5: Deliver The Best Technology
Lastly there is technology, we have developed our technology in house, with assistance from our partners in Germany and Austin. We have developed all our own interfaces as well as integrated with companies like Black Nova, Basalte, Crestron, Savant, Control 4 and Iptechview
Our Partners Are In Good Company
Carefully Selected Partners
All of this means we are going to be extremely careful about who we choose to represent our brand, because our brand is comprised of the best of breed in everything that can go into a door. The structure, the finishes, and the technology.
