Door Industry Journal - Spring 2012

Also online at: www.doorindustryjournal.co.uk 39 THE door industry journal spring 2012 garage doors WOODRITE GETS PERSONNEL The only thing wrong with Woodrite’s new range of personnel doors is the dreadful pun in the title of this piece. Every garage door (well, almost) in the Woodrite range now has a matching personnel door as a partner. “It was simple really” said John Brooks, Woodrite’s Chief Executive, “With such flexible manufacturing and a versatile material like wood, adding personnel doors was just so logical. Each door is of solid construction and fitted with a mortice lock from the furniture range available on our York side hinged garage doors. A rebated frame and a hardwood threshold are two useful options for a very simple installation”. The new personnel doors are part of the extended launch of new products from Woodrite this April.

As Woodrite Doors approaches its second birthday, Sharon Cleaver, Woodrite Doors’ Sales Director has announced a host of new products. “We’ve been working hard to develop the new ranges and it seemed a fitting time to launch!” Sharon continued, “The Coach House collection is extending to five ranges. The Buckingham, Somerset and York ranges remain but have grown in size with new designs. New arrivals are the Balmoral and Warwick Solid-built ranges in cedar and idigbo respectively. These ranges are partnered with our newly developed Masta-Gear lifting gear that fixes directly to the door panel for a very tidy inner face of the door” “Idigbo is a story all of it’s own - a fully certified hardwood that looks like Oak but is lower in cost and easier to work with. There is so much else that’s new - we’ve new hardware for side hinged doors, a completely new range of personnel doors that are simply beautiful, new glazing options and new finishes to mention a few more - we’re expecting a rush of enquiries so new brochures and price lists will be available from April the 2nd - call for your copies now!” Contact Woodrite on 01280 841010 - www.woodritedoors.co.uk DIGITAL NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH FROM JABBAKAM The latest crime survey statistics show that there were 479,000 reported incidents of car theft in the 12 months to June 2010.
