ODL Europe doubles in-house door prep facility

ODL Europe has completed a six-figure investment in its in-house door prep facility, doubling its footprint and significantly increasing its prepping capacity.

The expansion involved knocking through into an adjacent building to extend production space, alongside investing in new equipment including a CNC machining centre.

ODL Europe’s door prep service is a flexible offer that allows fabricators to outsource as much or as little as they need. The service includes everything from basic door sizing to full door prep, customised to specific configurations and hardware requirements.

Suzanne Nicholl, head of sales and marketing at ODL Europe, commented: “A composite door slab requires precise preparation and getting it right takes real expertise. Our skilled in-house team can prep for any lock, any hinge, open in or open out, with or without edge banding. As demand for our door prep service has grown, we’ve continued to invest in the technology and expertise needed to support our customers with accuracy, flexibility and efficiency.”

ODL Europe is the exclusive UK partner of Capstone Engineering, said to be one of the world’s leading suppliers of composite door slabs. Over 750,000 Capstone doors are reportedly installed worldwide each year.

ODL adds that its high-performance composite doors are designed for long-term durability and are manufactured to resist bowing or twisting over time, ensuring a consistently accurate fit and reliable performance.

ODL Europe offers over 30 door styles, both glazed and unglazed, including many that are unique to the company. There is also the Guardsman Fire Door,  a previous winner of New Product of the Year at the G Awards.

Alongside its door offer, ODL Europe also offers a comprehensive cassette range that includes the TriSys glazing cassette.
