Steelcraft Sound Control Door & Frame System reduced Lead Time

CARMEL, IND. – May 20, 2008

Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies Steelcraft division today announced that it has reduced engineering and lead times on configured sound control doors and frames to less than one month versus industry standard lead times of six to eight weeks.

The STC 43 Sound Control Door and Frame system is the latest product to join the Steelcraft portfolio and is provided in cooperation with Overly Door Company, the industry leader in acoustic rated doors and frames. This cooperative relationship establishes a new lead-time benchmark for STC 43 rated openings and boasts the highest quality acoustic sound system, using standard Steelcraft hardware locations to fit seamlessly into the job specification. One simple order at a single price covers the essential components and ships in one crate, including frame, door, automatic door bottom and gasketing, with additional options including electrified hinges, galvannealed material, fire labels, and paired opening configurations available.

“A quicker time to the job site positively impacts all parties involved in the construction process”, affirms Matt Guise, Steelcraft Marketing Manager. “The 4-week shipment is wood-crated to maximize freight protection and minimize lost job time due to shipping damage. This assures that the Sound Control Door and Frame System is delivered in one place at one time on pace with standard four week material. The Overly and Steelcraft relationship is a positive move that lets our customers order all hollow metal products from one single source.”

With the Steelcraft Sound Control Door and Frame Systems, users of hospital patient privacy rooms, school band rooms, or office complex conference rooms experience greater overall sound control.

Orders can be placed as early as June 2, 2008.
