Some Things Are Still Popular For a Reason!
My twelve year anniversary in the automatic door industry is rapidly approaching and there is one thing that stands out from my time and it is this, choosing a quality and reliable product over a “competitively priced” one works out better in the long run more often than not. “You get what you pay for” may be a cliché but the majority of the time it also happens to be true. From low cost to high end products I have been involved with selling eight different manufacturer’s automatic door equipment and as a Sales Manager I also see the myriad of automatic door options available first hand on a daily basis. Some are good, some not so good! As a result I have valuable experience of the broad choice out there.
I spent years trying to convince company directors, installers and engineers to try "something different". Many were regular users of the record DFA 127 and their stock response, while I was promoting the latest all singing, all dancing swing operator on the market would be “What you are selling looks good but you just can’t beat the reliability and quality of the record DFA127, why would I take the risk of trying something new when I already fit the best?” Like any sales person worth their salt I had an armory packed full of sales arguments lined up but more often than not it fell upon deaf ears. That is the power of a quality reliable product like the DFA127.
When the opportunity to work for record came up I sighed and said "if I can’t beat them I’ll have to join them". I will soon celebrate my four year anniversary at record Direct, selling our market leading automatic door equipment to the trade. I can honestly say it’s been the most exciting and rewarding jobs of my career to date. As you can imagine I had a few interesting “I told you so” conversations with old contacts in the industry when I took this job on and you know what, sometimes in life you have to admit you were wrong.
In my time at record direct we have more that doubled the number of DFA127 Swing operators sold via the supply only route. My team and I have achieved this by simply spreading the news about the reliability and high quality of the DFA, combined with 24 hour delivery and outstanding technical support we have an outstanding recipe for success.

The record DFA 127
A universal drive system for the automation of swing doors. The DFA 127is characterized by sophisticated technology, compact design and especially record’s legendary smoothness of operation. Its exceptional versatility makes it suitable for a broad range of applications and widely differing requirements.
The DFA 127's universal qualities are mainly due to its electro-mechanical construction, and partly due to its modular design. When the door drive motor operates, it simultaneously tensions a spring integrated in the drive housing. The shutting movement uses energy stored in the spring, which, depending on requirements, is also motor-assisted. Even without motor assistance, thanks to ingenious mechanics, optimum power deployment is achieved in the entire door swing area. This is necessary to move the door reliably to its end position against draft resistance, for example, and also complies with the norms and standards of current safety requirements.
Especially suitable for use in:
- retail outlets
- airports
- administration and office buildings
- restaurants and hotels
- hospitals
- residential and care homes
- escape route openings
- areas requiring heat and smoke to be vented
