Garage Door Co Repair Pros has received information from Amarr (Entrematic) that they have reduced the in plant production time for their garage doors per the Dealer memo below. This shows a continued effort to improve the service provided by Amarr. The previous report of plant shutdowns for maintenance still applies. After the maintenance window is complete we expect garage door orders which are not stocked in the Chicago distribution center should arrive in less time.

Garage Door Co Repair Pros has received information from Amarr (Entrematic) that there will be scheduled plant production line shutdowns occurring January and February 2016 per the Dealer memo below. This may impact some of our customers by up to 2-3 weeks for orders which miss the cut-off date and are not stocked in the regional distribution center. The majority of our customers purchase doors from the EPS2 line and many are not special orders. Any customers affected by this maintenance will be advised by us directly.

Garage Door Co Repair Pros, an Amarr authorized garage door dealer,  has just received a memo from Amarr that due to production issues the Olympus 500 and Designers Choice 500 garage doors have ceased production until 07/21/2014. Any customers ordering these doors will not be able to do this until after production resumes. Amarr also announced that the Classica 3000 series garage door will continue to have an extended lead time of 12 days in plant plus delivery - this is longer than usual 6 day but still not bad for this specialty product.
