1. Policy Statement

It is the policy of Rolflex to operate a quality system to ensure that the supply of the Compact Door to its customers conforms with their requirements and Rolflex specifications.

The company has developed it’s own in-house procedures. All functions are computer generated from the receipt of order to the selection of components for manufacture and checked ready for dispatch.

The company has a culture of safe working both in the factory and for the installation of its products on site.

This policy is implemented throughout the company for all its activities. All employees are responsible for the quality of their own work and encouraged to achieve high standards and meet the delivery programmes of their clients and profit targets of the company.

The Chief Executive is ultimately responsible for the implementation of the policy with day to day running delegated to the commercial and production managers. It is the policy of the company to continue the development of its products, management systems and manufacturing techniques.

Rolflex fabricates the majority of the door components in its own factory with the exception of the motors, control boxes and other electrical accessories.

2. Company History

Rolflex Nederland BV was formed in 1978. The company specialised in the assembly and installation of roller shutter doors, sectional doors, dock shelters and loading bay systems. In the late 80’s it was decided to develop individual products for its own account. Firstly a pneumatic dock-leveller was patented and distributed worldwide.

In the 90’s work began on the Compact Door and a patent received for its unique folding mechanism. The Compact Door folds directly above the door opening and does not obstruct overhead services, gantries and natural daylight. The Compact Door is self supported off its side tracks, it is quiet to operate and requires less long term maintenance. The conventional sectional door when opened takes up a lot of space in the building and requires secondary steel to support the panels and springs to effect movement.

Rolflex sell the Compact door through a worldwide network of approved dealers. All dealers are offered in-house training and encouraged to visit the factory in Holland. In 2007/2008 the company extended its existing manufacturing facilities and built new offices to provide extra accommodation for administration and a training suite for clients and dealers.

The Compact Door is now a popular choice of many leading architects and designers seeking to specify a well engineered modern product which can provide them and their clients with more design freedom and cost effective space within the building. A reference list of major projects is included in section 5 with company brochures.

3. General Procedures

3.1 Pre-Order
Clients are encouraged to visit www.rolflex.com and click on “Design your own door”. This is a new feature which enables architects, end users, dealers and new visitors to design their own doors by following five simple steps. As the visitor selects their specification requirements a graphic image of the door complete with drawings and specification is built up on the screen. By return a quotation to the relevant dealer will follow automatically.

When a dealer places an order with Rolflex he is sent a confirmation form to check, sign and return. No orders are cleared into production for manufacture until this procedure is complete. A delivery date is also confirmed.

3.2 Production
Components manufactured in-house
    a) Insulated Panels
    b) All glazed panels
    c) Wicket doors
    d) Folding Plates and tracks

Components bought-out
    a) Motors and control boxes
    b) Cables
    c) Electrical accessories
    d) Aluminium profiles
    e) Fixings

Fabrication and assembly of the doors is organised on a flow-line basic and has been refined to maximise automation. All functions are computer generated from the clients order confirmation.
This includes maintaining stock levels for manufacture.

Doors are checked for quality and specification after assembly prior to packing for dispatch. The company has a policy of good relations with its key suppliers to ensure quality of material supply and prompt delivery.

3.3. Dispatch
All doors are export packed in wooden frames and shrink wrapped. All loose components and documentation for the installer together with the logbook and user-manual for maintenance and operation are boxed within the package.

3.4. Installation
All dealers are encouraged to send their installers to Holland for training and an installation video is also available. With trained operatives the installation of the Compact Door is much quicker than a conventional sectional door. To view the short installation film visit www.rolflex.com/NL/EN.html

3.7 Quality Procedures
All Operations in the factory and the material stock warehouse are computer generated to ensure that our doors are produced to the correct specification and the highest Quality.
Following receipt of the order confirmation each door is given it’s own unique serial/order number from fabrication to dispatch. All the components of the door are cross referenced on the computer programm with this serial number.

Before the door can be released for packing and dispatch all components of the door are barcode scanned to check that it’s specification matches the order confirmation. Each production step is registered and recorded, time, date and the operative. On dispatch the serial number of the door is located on the control box and the red log book which also contains the specification of the door and the user manual.

Monthly Testing A random pull test of the door panel to test the adhesion of the sandwich construction.

A random pull test of the side tracks and the folding plates which will identify any inaccuracy of the machine tooling.
