Managing Director Andrew Crookes said: “It is important for us as a company to offer our retail customers a product that is not only compliant and secure, but also value for money. We are happy that by using components, motors and controls from some of the leading brands in the UK today we can achieve our aim of giving the customer a product that will be problem free for years to come.” Getting across the differences to the end user is sometimes difficult as all they are interested in is what it looks like and how much it costs. A simple explanation to the customer regarding the benefits of spending a little more for something which will last a lot longer is all it takes. The tried and tested 89mm Deprat tube that AMO Group have been using for over 25 years on its commercial shutters coupled with the Deprat Lock will ensure it is one of the securest roller doors on the UK market; reliable Somfy push limit tube motors will give accurate open and close stop commands and the Somfy Rollixo System allows for safe closure with its wireless optical safety edge.
