Making importing easy with Selectrite

Did you know that at Selectrite we have already been exporting our products all over the world for a number of years? This exporting experience and knowledge makes us the right choice if you’re outside of the UK and looking to add new products to your portfolio.

Benefits of Importing

Do you strive to become more competitive in your local market? Then importing goods can dramatically help. Importing goods can provide access to products that may not be available domestically This is especially the case with the MK2 door coordinator, due to the certification it holds, making a leader in its product group.  Importing a product which is not available in your domestic market can establish you as a market leader and help you access new customers, giving you a competitive advantage. Importing goods can also help businesses reduce their dependence on a single market, both in terms of supply, and by accessing new customers. 

As an independent hardware manufacturer, we are not tied up by red tape, meaning we can react quickly to export enquiries. This gives you the feeling that you are dealing with a local supplier, wherever you may be in the world. We feel creating this ‘local’ connection is really important when you’re looking to import, as we know how frustrating it is to wait days for a response to a simple question, regardless of your supplier’s location. We won’t use time difference or location as an excuse here at Selectrite, every customer gets the same level of service.

Case Studies

Through our distribution channels we have been fortunate enough to have our products specified within some of the most prestigious buildings around the world. Projects such as Macau Theme Park in South China, several of the stadiums built in Qatar for the FIFA Football World Cup 2022, The Shard in London, and various Four Seasons Hotels in the Middle East and Asia. The MK2 door coordinator is certified and regulated worldwide, therefore can be specified on practically any pair of doors to ensure they close correctly and stop the spread of fire. Buildings such as schools & colleges, hotels, food stores & restaurants, airports, hospitals and office blocks & industrial units. 

Benefits of the MK2 

The MK2 door coordinator has worldwide certification. This includes CE and UKCA marking to BS EN 1158:1987, UL listing and ANSI. The most recent addition to our certification is our Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), an EPD quantifies environmental information about the life cycle of a product, giving you confidence to use the product on projects which are sustainably conscious. This breadth of certification and testing ensures the MK2 can be specified on projects worldwide.

Our British made MK2 door coordinator has been assessed for use on timber fire doors for a duration of up to 120 minutes, and steel fire doors for a duration up to 240 minutes, both to BS EN 1634-1:2014. Furthermore, it can be installed regardless of the exposure direction, offering bi-directional coverage. We believe this sets the MK2 door coordinator apart for its product type.

Making Importing Easy

Being a compact, lightweight product, the MK2 is ideal for international freight, with shipment costs and freight times being kept to a minimum. Small parcels lend themselves to speedy, safe international shipping, so the MK2 door coordinator can be imported with confidence that it will turn up on time and undamaged.

Working with a network of freight partners, such as FedEX, we can offer quick efficient ex-works delivery to your location, or even a ‘drop ship’ door to door service direct to your customer. What’s more, we are happy for you to arrange collection via your preferred freight partner and will fully assist with this in any way required, from initially advising consignment details to helping with any paperwork
