PAYSON, Ariz., August 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Door Stop is celebrating 40 years in business as a factory-direct supplier of custom-made cabinet doors. First opened in 1980, the company has grown from a small operation in Arizona into one of the country's leading providers of made-to-order woodworking, selling millions of doors along the way.
In factory-direct sales, consumers work directly with the company that produces their cabinet doors rather than an intermediary. The most immediate advantage is that this keeps prices low by eliminating markups that middlemen add to the final cost of cabinet doors. Customers also enjoy superior customer service because they have a direct line of communication with the company producing their doors. Being able to talk directly with the The Door Stop helps consumers access the best product knowledge available while ensuring that each door is customized according to the buyer's exact needs and wants.
The factory-direct designation has been important to The Door Stop since its inception. The company helped to pioneer this concept at a time when consumers had few options for purchasing custom-cut cabinet doors. People were forced to choose between buying standard-sized cabinet doors from a major retailer or paying the high-prices charged by specialty cabinet shops. The Door Stop recognized that neither option was ideal and introduced consumers to a third option – factory-direct sales.
According to Donovan Thornhill, factory-direct sales have been central to The Door Stop's success.
"Allowing the customer to order custom sizes in the design they choose is what sets us apart from the one size fits all stores. We want the consumer to know that their order, regardless of size is very important to us. It is important to us that the customer feels that we care about them, and their project. This is the philosophy that has made us successful."
The company's commitment to streamlining sales is matched by the quality of the cabinet doors themselves. Each one is built with premium materials and advanced wood-working machinery, to produce doors with superior precision and consistency. Those features are true of the entire product line, which includes classic styles that never go out of fashion as well as the most popular styles of today.
The Door Stop is proud of its four decades of accomplishments and equally excited about the future. E-commerce has once again revolutionized how consumers buy custom-cut cabinet doors, making the factory-direct sales model more advantageous than ever. The principles that have always driven The Door Stop – service, selection, and savings – will continue to define what the company does for decades to come.
