The Rinderle Singing Trio at AFE Event Jan 2012

Okay, so we sponsored an event, and instead of giving an ordinary speech on our company, we decided to throw our inhibitions to the wind, take a deep breath and sing a Rinderle Door creation, with the help of a Willie Nelson tune.

A Door that Tends to Sag ... Can Be a Drag

Pedestrian doors with what are known as "butt hinges" or "knuckle hinges" can begin to sag over time due to usage, abuse or poor quality from the start. A quick fix to getting it back into shape is by using a "Hinge Doctor". It slips over the hinge knuckle with the door closed and when you open up the door, it bends it back to a more closed position to bring the door back toward the hinge side of the frame. Other solutions are to replace the hinges or install a continuous hinge.

A Fine-Toothed Comb... for Hairline Cracks

A very small issue can become a disastrous dilemma, if not noticed and handled. When we PM a door system (or any operable system for that matter), we look at everything. One of the components on a sectional door is the hinge. If you look closely, sometimes you can predict the failure of a hinge by noticing a small "hairline" stress crack. If you see this, it is time to replace that hinge before it breaks completely and jambs your door system... causing downtime and increased cost due to a more extensive repair.

Graffiti driving you insane?

Are you constantly repainting your doors due to spray-painters? Here are some suggestive solutions ...

  • Use a Special-Lite (or comparison) "FRP" Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester Door.
  • The FRP door offers a polyester pebble face sheet that spray paint can be easily wiped away. This product is used mostly in schools, but can also be used in a variety of applications. The face sheet is colored all the way through, so it also leaves scratches almost non-apparent.
  • Check out www.special-lite.com, or call us for more details.
