Ben Aspinall, commercial Director at DoorCo, discusses how the company has invested in its pre-prepped doors offering, and how customers have total flexibility in accessing the service as part of its One Supplier promise.

It’s important to say upfront that DoorCo supplies composite doors, and all their components, on either a supply-only or prepped door basis. This is a pretty standard offering in the market.

However, we’ve made significant investment over recent years in both our infrastructure and technology to ensure that no matter the type of customer, our entire network can access any part of our service.

Our prepped door service goes beyond the standard offering – we can prep, paint and glaze doors for our customers effectively and efficiently. And our customers can pick and choose these services as required.

This means that a fabricator that usually does their own manufacturing can access our full service to support capacity, or they can make use of our three specialist paint booths or automated staining line as a ‘paint no prep’ option.

We have a large range of premium colours and we can match any RAL or British Standard colour, which can be a huge undertaking for fabricators to keep up with, especially when bespoke, unusual or high volume orders come in. We have the tools and capacity to help and the processes in place to ensure total control over quality.

This flexibility is also great for customers that want to try out new products and increase their offering without making a large upfront investment. DoorCo offers four types of composite door as well as our market leading Flip cassette system, with its Foam In Place technology and simple corner and connector system that delivers unrivalled security and weatherability.

96% of our customers now use Flip thanks to its performance, advanced design options and ease of installation.

This product choice is backed by an expert team that supports our customers to make their lives as simple as possible, including EDI ordering integration and marketing. The investment we’ve made in our infrastructure, products and services means more and more of our customers are switching to DoorCo as their sole supplier of composite doors. They can get everything they need from one supplier, using one ordering system with one invoice and one delivery, supported by one team.
