Metalex Security Products traces back to 1986, when founder Tom Reimer got locked out of his own home and had to climb in through a basement window to get inside — and realized on the spot just how easy that window would be for anyone else to break through too Tom Reimer established the business in 1986 after a personal experience of having to break into his own home after losing his keys, entering through a vulnerable basement window.
