FIRECO EXHIBITS
AT LOCKEX 2016
Fireco, manufacturer of simple solutions for difficult fire safety
problems, is exhibiting at Lockex. The company will be at stand 66 when
the show takes place 16-18th September at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry.
The products Fireco will be
demonstrating include Freedor, a wireless free-swing
door closer. Freedor makes
heavy fire doors effortless
to open. It allows users to
place fire doors open at any
angle and closes them on
the sound of the alarm.
As Freedor is wireless, it is quick
and easy to install, leaving time for
installers to carry out more jobs.
Fireco will be on hand to show
how easy it is to bring in business
with its support.
Fireco will also be providing information about the workshops it
is offering to installers. The workshops help installers increase their
profits by finding extra opportunities from their existing jobs. They
get hands-on experience with
everything they need to know
about installing and commissioning Freedor in one morning.
The workshops are proving
popular and are now going nationwide at venues across the UK.
One tradesman commented that
the workshop is a “very informative, easy-going and well-delivered
course. It’s an excellent product,
should be an easy sell.”
Alister Rooney at Arma Fire comments: “The demand for Freedor
is increasing, it’s a good income
source for us. Fireco are a great
company to deal with. I cannot
fault the support, guarantees or
delivery and they have always
given us technical back up when
we need it.”
