At Tough Tek Metals, our mission goes beyond providing HUD-approved, BABA-compliant steel storm and screen doors and maintenance-free steel security window screens. We’re dedicated to supporting the leaders and professionals who work tirelessly to create safe, secure, and welcoming environments for families across the country.
In 2025, we had the privilege of connecting with housing authority leaders at several key industry events. Each show reinforced the importance of collaboration and innovation in ensuring families have reliable, long-lasting protection for their homes.
MA-NARHO – Boston, Massachusetts
Our year kicked off in Boston at the MA-NARHO conference, where we met with leaders from across New England. Their passion for improving public housing communities inspired us to showcase how our steel storm/screen doors can stand up to tough weather conditions while providing long-term durability.
IL – IAHA Maintenance Clinic – Springfield, Illinois
In Springfield, the IAHA Maintenance Clinic offered a great opportunity to connect directly with maintenance teams and decision-makers. Conversations here underscored the importance of products that not only meet compliance standards but also reduce ongoing maintenance demands. Our maintenance-free steel security window screens drew strong interest for their ability to save time and costs year after year.
MI – NAHRO – Detroit, Michigan
Detroit was host to the MI NAHRO and the NCRC conference, where housing authority professionals highlighted the challenges and successes of urban housing. We were proud to present solutions that directly support their goals of resident safety, energy efficiency, and cost-effective maintenance.
SERC/MARC Show – Atlanta, Georgia
We then went on to the SERC/MARC event in Atlanta, which brought together housing authority leaders from across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. The energy in Atlanta was unmatched, and it was a true honor to network with so many dedicated individuals working on behalf of families in their communities.
