Most of the nation's Architects and Specifiers recognized the name ALUMAX as a world leader in the production and fabrication of aluminum products. Over ten years ago Dual Lock Partition Systems, Inc. began to manufacture the ALUMAX interior aluminum door frame products. With a common interest, ALUMAX and Dual Lock proceeded to lead the aluminum door frame industry with design innovation, quality, and a commitment to Life Safety unequaled by any competitor.
In 1985 ALUMAX and Dual Lock introduced Phoenix, the world's first 90-minute rated aluminum door frame. The design and performance of this product has yet to be paralleled by anyone in the industry.
By 1986 Dual Lock initiated Powder Coatings, a finish proven to be far superior to any liquid coatings for the ALUMAX frames. Dual Lock continued to develop and expand new product for the ALUMAX line. Ultimately in 1991, with obvious confidence, ALUMAX requested that Dual Lock ascend to national prominence as the sole manufacturer of the ALUMAX aluminum door frame system.
Over the last eight years, Dual Lock has continued the tradition of ALUMAX leadership and superiority in product performance in the door frame industry. With an obligation to continued innovation, Dual Lock has recognized the demand for improved Life Safety design and now unveils AVALON INTERNATIONAL, a contemporary company with new products genuinely demonstrative to our legacy of excellence.
With the standard having been set at Dual Lock, AVALON now exceeds even that measure with the introduction of an unprecedented new product line. Today we herald another first of its kind in the world: an all new 45-minute Fire Rated Aluminum Sidelight and Borrowed Light system.
AVALON INTERNATIONAL Now Has It All!
