Philosophy
MWE stands for maximum product quality and attention to detail. It is our philosophy and mission to develop door systems, ladders, shower systems and exclusive interior design items that give every customer the feeling of having purchased something special. We combine cutting-edge technology with exemplary customer communication and joy in our work, all marked by a “passion for quality.” MWE stands for 100% "Made in Germany"!
Production
Located in a small quintessential German village stands the state-of-the-art MWE office and production facility. Offices are within walking distance to the modern production line, allowing office personnel to communicate directly with the team members responsible for manufacturing.
The MWE manufacturing facility houses the latest CNC machines. Keeping up with technology allows products to continue to improve and meet demand. Most of MWE’s products feature a unique 600-grit “jewelry finish” which is completed by hand. If an order specifies an alternative finish, such as polished stainless steel, the procedure of finishing is even more intense, yet the result is guaranteed to be perfect.
The production facility is immaculately maintained, organized and managed by dedicated staff with decades of experience, all leading to a product of extraordinary quality.
Quality Features
Stainless steel used to produce MWE products is sourced only from Germany and is V2A (304 grade) or V4A (316 “marine” grade) stainless steel. So, the statement 100% made in Germany stands true!
MWE products are all offered with a 600-grit finish “jewelry finish” this is not just to make them more attractive but adds a level of durability.
Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a standard material seen on all MWE wheels. This product is often used in precision parts, chosen for its ability to maintain its shape and for its extreme durability. This self-lubricating material makes all MWE sliding systems low maintenance and glide smoothly.
TESNIT® is also featured on most MWE products, this material, composed of carbon fibers and rubber as a binder, is used as a barrier between the stainless steel and whatever you are installing MWE products on. This material was chosen for its ability to keep its shape and hold the hardware in place (no-slipping overtime). MWE took this feature a step further designing each piece that utilizes TESNIT®, is routed into the component eliminating loose gaskets. Gaskets are cumbersome and often slip during installation leaving a portion visible.
“Flow drill” describes a unique feature found on every product where a screw needs to reach into a hollow stainless steel tube. This is most often found on the connections for pull handles from the vertical pull to the connection piece. By providing more surface for the screw it does not become loose offering more stability, longevity of the product and less maintenance perfect for commercial environments.
“Passion” this unique passionate vibe spreads from the manufacturing facility to the offices and stretches to the MWE North American office. This passion for quality is shared with those who encounter an MWE product and where perfection is felt.
Proudly made in the USA
Obsessively Engineered
In an increasingly digital world where products are produced remotely, Krownlab remains dedicated to keeping the creation of our architectural hardware, from design to finishes, in Portland, Oregon. This allows us to be ruthless in our process. Every detail is considered and every part justified in our drive to make sliding barn door hardware systems that put functionality first. And, because of the care put into every component, Krownlab sliding door hardware performs to the highest standard with smooth, quiet door travel. We guarantee all our products for an industry-leading 10-years and back it with extensive product trials. We teamed with LiftMaster to create a sophisticated testing system that puts each sliding door hardware system through extreme-use scenarios. We set out to break everything we make, putting products through the ringer and then addressing each failing. The result is sliding door hardware that will perform beautifully in the most punishing environments throughout the decades.
Trusted by Professionals
We are proud to be the sliding door hardware of choice for the best architects, designers, and design-build firms in the business. We collaborate with everyone from Skylab Architecture and Siteworks Design Build to OFS Brands and Tanner Goods. We’ve provided hardware for 100-unit hotel jobs down to modular tiny homes and everything in between. We don’t compete on price, we compete on value. Top architects and designers come to us time and time again because of our sterling customer service, industry-leading quality, and our modern, iconic look. We build relationships with our clients that span years and projects.
Considered Design
We didn’t reinvent the wheel, we reinvented the bearing. All of our sliding barn door hardware systems feature custom, patented industrial bearings for a modern, iconic aesthetic. And we are constantly innovating. Our architectural hardware is designed for professionals with the highest design standards. The hardest thing in product design is to make something that looks simple. We pushed ourselves to do just that. Our bearings, trolley brackets, and custom-extruded, fastener-concealing track, feature minimal, ingenious design. And we always sweat the small stuff. Our finishes are considered throughout the process. We never use paints or powder coats which can mar an install by flaking or chipping. Instead, we work with our premium materials to bring out modern, elegant finishes that pair perfectly with our hardware and don’t deteriorate with use. Finally, each Krownlab sliding barn door hardware system has an enormous amount of adjustability built in. Our products absorb the inevitable jobsite inaccuracies that can undermine even the best products, ensuring installations come out well time and time again.
