Door Industry Journal - Spring 2016

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 39 THE door industry journal spring 2016 garage doors Teckentrup TV passes 20 episodes When the idea for Teckentrup TV came up, Jim Rodger, Teckentrup’s Managing Director saw the possibility to do something different but wondered if the industry would really take an interest. Jim also wondered if his screen persona might attract some “comments” from his customers… Having just passed 20 episodes, it’s proven to be a real winning formula for getting across Teckentrup’s product messages in an informal way. Jim Rodger said: “We have a lot of fun coming up with the episodes and they are great vehicle for getting across useful tips, features and benefits to help consumers understand the strengths of our garage doors and our garage door specialist customers sell more doors. I also regularly make an idiot of myself, which can only be a good thing! We keep things light, short and useful and they are a great reflection of our business ethos – great products backed with people and service that gives that little bit extra to make all the difference.” To watch back episodes of Teckentrup TV visit www.teckentrup.tv where you can also subscribe to receive all future episodes. Aluroll Upgrades Roller Garage Door Auto Locking System Aluroll is upgrading a key security feature across their range of roller garage doors. The SELVE fixation will replace the current anti-lift locking straps. The burglar-proof devices prevent intruders from gaining access by lifting the curtain from below. The new version is stronger and simplifies installation. Rather than working with three different components, which also need screwing onto the shaft, the new version consists of a single part with a twist lock which is simply turned with a coin to fix it into place. SELVE have been manufacturing roller shutter fixings for over 100 years, and this experience has led to the development of high quality accessories for the roller shutter and garage door industry. Initial feedback from Aluroll installers has acknowledged the SELVE design has a neater aesthetic, saves valuable time on site and will help with future maintenance. It has been available as standard on all Aluroll roller garage doors from 1st March. Jason Powell, Technical Manager at Aluroll, said: “We’re always looking for innovative new ways to improve our products, and upgrading the auto locking system is proving to be a popular decision. The SELVE product offers so many advantages over previous technology, helping us provide installers with the best doors in the marketplace”. For installation instructions please call 01691 679257.
