The Art of Handcrafted Sliding Door Hardware:A Behind-the-Scenes Look
Luxury is defined by the details — the texture of a hand-polished
surface, the weight of a finely crafted handle, the effortless glide of a
sliding door that fits seamlessly within its frame. At Industrial Brands, our
sliding door systems are more than functional barriers; they are works of art,
shaped by design heritage and elevated by engineering excellence

At Industrial Brands, true luxury is found in the details —
the flawless alignment of sliding door hardware, the refined finish of a
handcrafted handle, and the smooth, effortless glide of a barn door. These
qualities are not the work of machines alone. They are the result of artistry,
expertise, and the dedication of the skilled artisans and engineers behind
every piece we create.

120 Years of Excellence: The Evolution of Industrial Brands
The roots of Industrial Brands trace back to the dawn of the
20th century — a time of sweeping industrial progress, precision engineering,
and enduring craftsmanship. Our legacy was forged by Henry Smith and Andrew
Allen, who founded Allith Manufacturing Company in 1902, and the Durand
brothers, who established American Sheet Metal Works in 1905. Both companies
emerged as pioneers during an era when products were built to endure
generations, not just decades. From the very beginning, their focus was on
quality, durability, and performance — values that continue to define
Industrial Brands today. Our global team of artisans, engineers, and strategic
partners remains dedicated to honoring this legacy through exquisitely
handcrafted hardware designed for discerning architects, designers, and luxury
homeowners.
