The OTD Difference
HOW WE WORK
From plans to procurement — all under one roof.
"At Ohio Trim & Door, we run a tight, self-contained operation. From the moment we receive a set of drawings to the day material ships, every step is handled in-house by our team — no outsourcing, no delays waiting on a third party to catch up."
OUR OPERATIONAL MODEL
1. IN-HOUSE: Takeoffs & quantity surveys
We perform all takeoffs ourselves, directly from architectural drawings and door schedules. No third-party estimators, no handoff lag. Our team reads the plans, counts the openings, and builds accurate hardware sets from the ground up — catching spec conflicts and hardware gaps before they become field problems.
2. IN-HOUSE: Specification & submittal preparation
Hardware sets are assembled and reviewed against the project spec internally. We build the submittal package — product data sheets, finish schedules, keying matrices — without relying on outside vendors to do it for us. What goes to the architect is accurate and ready for approval.
3. DIRECT MANUFACTURERS: Purchasing direct — no middlemen
OTD buys directly from manufacturers. That means better pricing, real lead time visibility, and direct escalation when something needs to move fast. We maintain working relationships with over ten manufacturers — including Corbin Russwin, Yale, McKinney, Pemko, Rixson, and others — and we know who to call when a project can't wait.
4. FAST-PACED: Coordination & delivery execution
Construction moves fast and so do we. Once orders are placed, we stay on top of lead times, flag delays before they cascade, and coordinate delivery to match your schedule — not ours. You're not waiting on hold with a distributor. You're talking to the people who placed the order.
Every takeoff, every purchase order, every submittal — handled by our team, start to finish.
That's not a pitch.
That's just how we're built.
