Technology in motion

"From our logistics center in Zelhem, we supply total solutions for residential and commercial construction," says Edwin van Houten, product/sales manager Benelux Business Unit DOOR. "Our wide range includes not only well-tested and certified hardware solutions for wooden and plastic systems, but also corresponding sills, door hinges, hinges and seals. In addition, a door lock line for aluminum doors has been added, for which we will also be able to offer a certified system by the end of 2021. In 2018, to complete, we acquired the company HAUTAU, which specializes in lift-slide doors, parallel sliding doors, sliding doors with a gap position and overhead window hardware."

The door industry is an interesting market for MACO Netherlands, in which there are still many opportunities for growth. "Over the past five years, for example, we have significantly developed our PROTECT door lock package," says Van Houten. "This has led to a very high-quality and complete PROTECT product range. Popular in this range is the EXCELLENT-LINE, which includes purely mechanical, (semi-)automatic and fully motorized door locks. A 3-day bolt system guarantees good closing force, light operation and excellent wind and water tightness." 

The fully motorized M-TS door lock is the newest member of this product family and will be available starting in the second quarter of 2021. 

"This door lock is very stable, fast and quiet and compatible with our openDoor range, which includes fingerprint scanners, code panels and pass readers, as well as other smart home/smart entry access control systems. In addition, external gateways or sensors can be added, such as Somfy Tahoma."
