Resorts & Retreats Awards 2020

Page 10 www.lux-review.com LUX 2020 Resorts and Retreats Awards DoorPRO Doorstop was founded in 2003 by former Bellman, Bill Hengler after noticing a serious problem with hotel staff using different objects to keep doors open and ultimately damaging them. With 30 years of hospitality experience behind him and the determination and passion to succeed, Bill created this pioneering hassle-free solution to prop open heavy doors. Speaking to Bill, he explained how it works, “By placing the DoorPRO directly over the middle door hinge and then sliding it down until it rests on the hinge-pin, you can then gently release the door until the sides of the DoorPRO rest between the hinge plates”. He also went to explain the benefits, by eliminating the risk of back injuries to staff and therefore saving on employee compensation and liability claims. The product also looks more professional in the workplace and can dramatically reduce damage caused to the doors usually seen by general door props. DoorPRO has worked with some of the most- well known hotel brands in the world, such as MGM International, Walt Disney Hotels and Hilton, just to name a few. By visiting the resorts and properties they are able to show the benefits of the product by understanding the individual needs of each establishment and the service personnel. Alongside this, taking a personal approach with each client DoorPRO believe that great communication is the key to their success. As such, strong customer service is very much at the centre of the business to ensure they provide the best possible service. As an innovative leader in the hospitality industry, DoorPRO Doorstop is a revolutionary doorstop solution launched by entrepreneur and CEO Bill Hengler.
