Black Hardware is now available

June 7, 2021

Black Handle Header

Black hardware is back after a long hiatus. To meet the growing demand, we are now offering our levers, grips, and exit devices in black.

Design is trending towards darker finishes. If an architect or builder is tying into this overall aesthetic, looking to match other doors or even a wall, black hardware gives them a good and easy solution.

You can now find the black hardware option in the DoorBuilder tool, available through the distributor portal at TotalDoor.com.

Important reminders

June 1, 2021

Sales Portal

There are some tools in your portal that can make your job easier. This is just a quick note to highlight a few ways you can use them to your advantage.

You can find some valuable key information available within our CRM, accessible through your portal. This includes distributor and installation contact information for your territory as well as sales to your distributors under your rep account.

Also, part of the sales pitch for Total Door products is the strict quality control we put into every aspect of our product production, delivery and installation. In order to achieve this stellar reputation certified installers are required to make sure the job is done correctly. It is in all our best interest that your distributors understand this and are educated in the project management process. As always, we are here to help should any of them run into a problem, including the availability of John Pierre to FaceTime with the installer during the process.

Feedback from the field

June 1, 2021

Feedback

Ensuring that all of our products are made to comply with the strictest codes has always been a priority at Total Door. Lately we have been getting some good feedback that this is indeed an important selling point for our products.

We have heard from distributors that they find that Total Door being BHMA certified (including BHMA 156.32) is a meaningful selling point for them and to their customers. We have also heard that architects who have looked into our new SafeFrame™ system found the life safety certifications and smoke containment aspect of the product meaningful.

To create a deeper tie between our products and the building, fire, and life safety codes we adhere to, we are in the process of creating a Know Your Code eBook and interactive checklist. This will be available for download on our website once it is finished. It will be a useful guide for architects and contractors to use in their planning and building. And, of course, you and your distributors may find it handy, too.

With a lot of enthusiasm building for our SafeFrame™ integrated smoke containment system, we are stepping up our marketing campaign to architects and contractors. We are creating new videos, graphics and messaging to promote SafeFrame in digital and social media channels.

Soon, you will see changes to our public-facing website. We are also making the new promotional materials available for your use through the sales portal page.

Included in that upload will be the 20-minute SafeFrame training presentation with professional voice over for use with distributors who were not able to make our live training sessions.
