IN BRIEF – July 2019

In this newsletter

Prices held - for now

In January we wrote to customers about our pre-Brexit planning. This included foregoing a review of product prices and increasing our stock holding. As I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you, none of us are much clearer when it comes to what will happen with regards to Brexit six months later.

At GfA however we have continued negotiating with our strategic suppliers to ensure there will be no disruption in our supply of products to customers. Our new premises enable us to hold even more stock to further mitigate against a no deal Brexit and delays at UK ports.

The good news is we have no immediate plans to change current pricing. This can’t however be sustained indefinitely as I am sure you will appreciate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this drive have an integrated anti-fallback device?
(a useful article to share with door engineers)

Our sales and technical teams regularly receive calls from customers asking whether a specific drive incorporates an anti-fallback device or whether a separate safety device (i.e. safety brake) would be needed.

For GfA drives the answer is pretty simple – our SI Safedrive® range of drives all benefit from our patented anti-fallback device, which is built into the gear, so you don’t need a separate safety brake or similar.

If you have an existing GfA drive just look at the GfA name plate – if there’s a number starting SI or GA your product incorporates an anti-fallback device. Details of the full SI (Safedrive®) range can be seen on our website.

Other  GfA drives, including SE (Ranger) and KE (driven by chain-transmission) will require an anti-fallback device fitting which could be a separate safety brake.
