The word is getting out about The Door Butler doorstop and The Bed Butler, helping industries to work more safely and efficiently.
The name of my company is DJMCW, LLC and the names of my products are The Door Butler doorstop™ and The Bed Butler pillow strap alternative. I have worked 25 years within the Resort / Hospitality industry in progressive Management positions. It was during this time that I discovered the need for a doorstop that didn't require hotel employees to bend over to place or retrieve and one that didn't ca
use so much damage to the doors and floors themselves. I wanted a doorstop that was easily portable, something that was small enough and light enough that it would fit in a pocket when not in use and something that was versatile enough to work on any hotel guest room door or flooring surface. I also realized the need for something that would allow an employee to easily and obviously announce themselves before entering a guest room. With time I have found that The Door Butler doorstop™ is popular with employees of Housekeeping, Bell Services, Room Service, Engineering and Security departments. Main Advantages of The Door Butler:
• No bending required while deploying or retrieving.
• Average back injury related workers compensation claim ~$26,000.00
• No damage to doors or floors.
• A single, unfinished, fire rated door ~$600.00
• Allows employee to announce themselves (and be heard) before entering room.
• Priceless
• Cost comparison of product to potential product benefits. Other advantages:
• Keeps your employees hands away from the dangerous pinch points of heavy doors.
• The Door Butler is very light weight (less than 6oz) but very durable.
• It works on all dry floor surfaces (carpet, tile, wood, marble...).
• It is less "unsightly" than a rag or a pile of hotel terry placed in front of the door.
• It will fit in an employee's pocket when not in use.
• Employees like it, so they use it. The Bed Butler pillow strap alternative
I created The Bed Butler as an upgrade to your upright mobile sleepers and after finding that the available replacement straps only replicated and perpetuated the problems that the original straps created:
· Buckles and straps that break way too easily
· Not enough support so that the sheets would come un-tucked while in storage or sitting in the hallways
· The bed needing to be made twice between uses
· Embarrassing looking roll-a ways sitting in the hallways or delivered to the room
· Dangerous trip hazards caused by dangling straps
With The Bed Butler:
· There are no breakable parts
· There is both horizontal and vertical support
o Keeps beds made neatly while sitting in the hallways and in storage
o Does not fold the pillow in half, it instead creates a cradle for the pillow
· Straps “snap” neatly out of the way while in use, causing no trip hazards
· The Bed Butler will last the life of the bed
