The FBS Way: Getting Security Doors and Windows Done Right
At FBS, we do things a bit differently. Or at least — different from a lot of U.S. companies. In the United States, the mentality is generally to get everything done as quickly as possible so we can move on to the next project to make more money.

Our clients who own more traditional-style homes, or simply want warmer textures in their design aesthetic sometimes ask for wood-finished doors — but they need them to be security doors. Can you make me a wood security door? They ask us. The short answer to this question is a resounding yes. Wooden doors can be completely secure. They can keep intruders out — even determined ones. Here’s how you can getRead more
