Nancy has spent 9 years in the industrial door industry, working on sourcing and specification at RAX Door Technology - a source industrial door factory operating in Renqiu, Hebei (China's industrial-door cluster) since 1999.

She writes about door type selection, installation preparation, maintenance and export logistics - drawing on 5,000+ real overseas projects rather than catalog theory.
