Total Door Systems is expanding our presence at industry events across the nation. Candace’s presentation focused on how to create a safe opening, including how to plan for it, what to look for and what to avoid. The presentation also covered common issues found in the field and how to avoid incorrect pockets, frames, and hardware. Candace’s presentation focused on the significance of having proper fire and smoke protection and containment in place – and the ramifications for not mitigating those risks. 

We hope you were in Houston to catch it!

A reminder: The next time you log on to your Total Door partner portal, you’ll see a new view. The updated layout will prioritize access to key tools such as the DoorBuilder, important documents, project checklists, and will streamline access to other key resources. 

You do not need to do anything to receive the updated design and your login will stay the same. But you should expect to see new tips and ideas on how to make the best use of the data and tools available on the portal page. 

Please let us know your insights or ideas of resources that you would like to see in your partner portal. As always, we have your back.

Following the successful beta testing of our installation support tool, we are moving on to the next phase of our remote training project and creating an entire suite of online training resources on TotalDoor.com. Taking the training resources online makes them universally accessible and allows them to be easily shared and used in any setting on any device.

The online training “toolbox” will provide a clear “how to” of the entire installation process, as well as searchable clips to help installers quickly find instruction resources on their devices while on site. Over time, additional materials that help installers and distributors troubleshoot or see how to perform maintenance or parts replacement tasks will be added to the Total Door Training Institute web pages, and tangential website pages.

We are also expanding the Total Door Partner Portal with downloadable tools for sales reps, including installation how to sheets, and more. If you have an idea of downloadable tools that would help you share the Total Door installation process and training resources, let us know at sales@totaldoor.com!

Attendees to the Specifications Consultants in Independent Practice annual meeting in Grand Rapids, Mich., May 19-21 would have seen our own Candace Kitchen delivering our top-rated AIA presentation, “Integrated Fire and Smoke Door Systems: Specifying Your Own Safety Net,” at the Sunday education segment. Total Door also hosted a tabletop display at the meeting to engage the independent spec writers in attendance.
