Berrien Concrete LLC Launches Durable Sliding Door Latches, Strengthening Home Security

SALEM, OR – October 26, 2023 – Berrien Concrete LLC, a leading provider of concrete solutions and specialized hardware based in Salem, Oregon, today announced the release of its new line of sliding door latches. Designed for both new construction and retrofit applications, these latches are built to provide enhanced security and peace of mind for homeowners and property managers. Berrien Concrete, while traditionally known for its high-quality concrete mixes and construction services throughout the Pacific Northwest, has steadily expanded its product line to include robust, long-lasting hardware solutions. “We’ve been working behind the scenes for a while now, applying the same principles of durability and quality we use in our concrete work to a broader range of hardware,” says a company spokesperson. “We saw a need in the market for sliding door latches that really held up, and we decided to build them ourselves.” The Problem with Typical Sliding Door Latches Many homeowners experience issues with standard sliding door latches. They often feel flimsy, easily bypassed, or simply break after a few years of use. Cheap plastic components degrade in the sun, metal parts corrode, and the locking mechanism itself can become unreliable. This leaves homes vulnerable to potential break-ins and creates a constant worry for residents. "We kept hearing stories from friends and neighbors about feeling unsafe with their existing latches," explains the company’s head of product development. "That’s what sparked the idea – we could make something better.” Berrien Concrete's Solution: Built to Last Berrien Concrete’s sliding door latches are a significant departure from the typical offerings on the market. Instead of relying on brittle plastics and lightweight metals, these latches are engineered with heavy-duty materials chosen for their strength and resilience. “We’ve taken a ‘back to basics’ approach,” says the company spokesperson. “We focused on using materials that are proven to withstand the elements and heavy use. Forget about flimsy plastic – these latches are built to last.” Key Features of the Berrien Concrete Sliding Door Latch: Solid Core Construction: While not made of concrete (though the company jokingly admits they considered it!), the latches feature a robust, internal steel core for maximum strength and resistance to forced entry. This core is encased in a durable, weather-resistant housing. Stainless Steel Components: All exposed metal components, including the bolt, strike plate, and mounting hardware, are crafted from high-grade stainless steel. This ensures exceptional corrosion resistance, even in coastal environments or areas with harsh weather conditions. No more worrying about rust! Heavy-Duty Bolt Action: The latch features a thick, solid bolt that securely engages the strike plate. The bolt action is smooth and reliable, providing a positive locking feel. It's not going to jam or stick after a few uses. Adjustable Strike Plate: The included strike plate is adjustable, allowing for precise alignment with the bolt. This ensures a secure and consistent lock every time, even if the door or frame is slightly out of alignment. Easy Installation: Designed for both DIYers and professional installers, the latch comes with all necessary mounting hardware and clear, easy-to-follow instructions. You don't need a degree in engineering to install this latch. Universal Fit: The latch is designed to fit most standard sliding doors and windows, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications. Sleek, Low-Profile Design: While built for strength, the latch also features a sleek, low-profile design that won’t detract from the aesthetics of your door. Available Finishes: Berrien Concrete offers the latches in a variety of finishes, including brushed nickel, black, and white, to complement any decor. Beyond Security: Peace of Mind Berrien Concrete believes that security isn't just about preventing break-ins; it's about providing peace of mind. “Knowing your home is secure allows you to relax and enjoy life,” says the company spokesperson. “We want to provide that peace of mind to our customers.” The company is committed to providing high-quality products at competitive prices. “We’re not trying to be the most expensive option on the market,” explains the head of product development. “We want to offer a superior product at a price that’s accessible to everyone.” About Berrien Concrete LLC: Berrien Concrete LLC is a family-owned and operated company based in Salem, Oregon.
