Did you know the standard lead time on a bespoke Alutech Sectional Door is just 3-4 weeks from ordering to delivery? Find out how they maintain this impressive lead time below! The vast majority of Alutech Sectional Garage Doors ordered via UK distributors, JD (UK) Ltd are delivered in under 4 weeks. The team at JD (UK) repeatedly achieve this short lead time due to the highly organised order management service provided. The efficient team in the office are there to ensure that any queries on orders are dealt with quickly in order to adhere to their 24-hour processing period. Following this processing period, an order confirmation is issued, then the order is placed with Alutech and production begins. Once the Sectional Door has been manufactured, it is then immediately allocated to a truck ready to leave Alutech and journey through Europe into the warehouse of JD (UK) Ltd in Yorkshire. As soon as the order is received at the UK warehouse, the transport team make contact to arrange a suitable day and time for delivery. The drivers then call to confirm the day before the delivery, then again to provide an hours’ notice. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule and whilst the team strive for perfection, there may be a small minority of orders that fall out of the standard lead time. Don’t worry though, if that’s the case, their processing team will warn of any hold ups as soon as they hear about them. Why not put them to the test? For more information or to place an order, call any of the team on 01924 472924 or email sales@jdukltd.co.uk New frame leg fixing detail for Alutech Sectional door More good news is on the way for Alutech dealers. For some time the Alutech trend series door has lacked the option to fix the frame leg directly into the ground……………not any more! This option saves time on site when installing doors between the reveals as it allows the installer to secure the bottom of the frame leg in a rigid position. Whilst this can be achieved relatively easily with the existing Alutech Trend door , the new design will allow the Alutech door to be installed more quickly than ever. Although individual small improvements to the design of the door do not, on their own, amount to a radical change, Alutech have achieved their reputation for product quality thanks to continuous product improvement. Small improvements soon add up, over time, to a great quality product. With the added benefits which will come from Alutech’s continuing commitment to the requirements of the UK market, the future really does look bright for Alutech Trend series sectional garage doors.
