Rixson vs [G x m1 x m2]/[D2]

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Rixson pioneers the Manufacturing of quality Pivots and Closers.

We at Qualitydoor.com.  Love them.  And you know, there’s a reason why they’re so popular.  A major name in the construction business with over a Century of experience and adaptation.

One of these reasons, is that Rixson primarily believes in constructing their products based on the principles of Logic and Physics.  It may seem strange to you that other manufacturer’s might not do this.  But you’d be surprised what a little [G x m1 x m2]/[D2] can do to your 500 dollar door.  Gravity exists, and there’s no escaping it unless you work for NASA.

But if you’re Rixson manufacturing, you can work with gravity.

This brings us to the magic that is pivots.  Pivots don’t fight against gravity.  They don’t pull on anything like wood or metal hanging on the side.  Instead, they let the door sit on it.  Because Gravity is pulling the door down on the pivot.  Not off to the side, but down.  No more dealing with anything other than simple angles.  And they’re angles that have something more sturdy that an archway of wood or metal.

The floor.

Exclusively Bommer : Dedication makes a Hinge

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Bommer Hinges have always been specialized.  We’re talking about an old company here.  A company that has been able to keep up with the times throughout it’s age.

A lot of people seem to think that you can use the same thing throughout time and have a stable company that will never die.  But as the world evolves, so does business and so does functionality.

If a company has been around for one and a quarter of a century.  I guarantee you, Bommer’s learned to evolved with the times.  Some of my friends don’t evolve with the times, and they’re less than a quarter of a century old.  Some of my friends still don’t have cell phones.

Bommer has shown throughout these years that their Hinges have been worthwhile, and reliable for a century.  Their production keeps them inexpensive without sacrificing quality.  Which is very notable.  Their website is also pretty on par.  Go check it out

Commercial Design and the door to your Business

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Commercial buildings require a very specific kind of attention.  The hardware that you use in your building may spell the difference between catering to a lower or higher class.

Customers and clients like to know that who they’re dealing with is doing well for themselves.  Regardless of your companies products and services.  Displaying professionalism in every aspect of your headquarters or your store is the first step to making a customer or client comfortable with making a purchase.

A person who already has wealth and professionalism.  A keen and welcoming eye for design and precaution aren’t questioned for whether they’ll honor a return or if their products and services are top quality.  The truth of the matter is that most people do judge a book by it’s cover.

Your services and products are the book.

Your cover is your door.

The bigger question is, is it worth it to go out of business for the sake of making a comfortable atmosphere for your clients?  And obviously the answer is no.  We’re going to take a company who is well known for Commercial Door Hardware.  Rixson Speciality Door Controls

Rixson is known for it’s pivots, door holders, electromagnetic door holders.  More so for their quality and their innovation.  These people designed a door for Nissan’s Farmington Hills facility, a door weighing about 3000 pounds and meant to fit cars through.

Remember when we were talking about developing comfort for your client and customers by showing you have a keen eye for design and precaution?  You can see that when you have Rixson hardware installed.  You’re dealing with a company whose passion is precision and quality.  That’s the kind of company that’s always successful when emulated properly.

However, Rixson hardware comes at a hefty price.  With not a single product under 60$ getting a single door, with their pivots, door closers and holders is pretty steep in price.  However, showing your customers and clients that you have the means to be as professional as the best can easily cover the cost of a single door.

At qualitydoor.com we simply have the best prices on Rixson.  You can even check on google shopping.  Put in any product we list and we’ve beaten everyone else’s prices.  We also carry the best prices for several other manufacturers, like Norton Door Controls, and Best Access.
