How can I become an EFCO Representative? |
| EFCO is proud to have one of the industry's most professional sales networks. Historically, our network of independent manufacturer's representatives has little turnover. Occasionally a territory opens up and it becomes necessary to hire a new sales representative. If you are interested in becoming an EFCO representative, please write to the Sales Manager. The address is: EFCO, P.O. Box 609, Monett, MO 65708, or call (800) 221-4169. |
What is a router letter? |
| A router letter outlines the administrative and manufacturing steps that an order must follow, and it shows a completion date for each step, so that the order may be completed by the customer's requested date. It is sent directly to the customer. Most steps are EFCO's responsibility to complete on time. However, there are a few steps that are the customer's responsibility to complete on time. For example, customer furnished shop drawings need to be at EFCO by the date shown on the router letter to maintain the production schedule. Another example is customer furnished hardware. EFCO will not begin fabrication of a storefront job until it receives the actual, physical hardware. The customer must coordinate delivery of the submittals and materials to maintain the scheduled ship date. Missing any of the due dates may result in the order being rescheduled at a much later date-particularly during the busy summer months. |
How can I get detail drawings for products or accessories? |
| If the detail drawing is not available on our website, please submit a Detail request online, or contact your local sales representative. |
How can I see drawings or photos of the hardware options available on your products? |
| To receive a hardware brochure that details some hardware options available on our door products, complete the literature request form and submit it. The hardware options for windows are in our Architectural Guide at the end of each window section. |
How do I request a service representative to make a jobsite inspection? |
| You should first contact the EFCO sales representative for your area . If the job is located in an area that is not assigned to a sales representative, submit a Field Services Request online. |
