Education

Galvanized vs Galvannealed When specifying doors that are to be exposed to corrosive environments it is important to know all the options available. Steel doors offer high performance and longevity.

Reese Product Announcement

Product Focus

SAVE TIME WITH TEK SCREWS After speaking with customers it became clear that pre-drilling holes to install weatherstripping was not a good use of your time! Now all you need to do is request TEK screws to receive them at no additional cost. You do need to request them. If you do not specify you want them, your order will be shipped with regular sheet metal screws. Reminder NOT to use the TEK screws on wood doors. The wings on the self-drilling TEK screws will ream the hole larger than the threads and will not engage wood. For more information shoot me an email at amanda@southeastarchitecturalsolutions.com
