The Mistake Most Dealers Make
The common approach is to stock one remote for every brand name they have heard of. The result is a warehouse full of slow-moving stock and an empty shelf when a customer asks for the model they actually have fitted.
A better approach starts from the market rather than the catalogue: what proportion of the doors in this area run fixed code, what proportion run rolling code, and which brands dominate each.
Building the List in Four Steps
| Step | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Survey the installed base | Ask technicians which five door brands they meet most in a month | The list you build must come from this list, not from a catalogue |
| 2. Split by code system | Fixed-code for the legacy base, rolling-code for the modern one | A rolling-code handset cannot serve a fixed-code door and vice versa |
| 3. Split by band | 315MHz, 433.92MHz or 868MHz, by market | The band is a legal allocation and cannot be mixed |
| 4. Choose the formats | Handheld for van stock, keyfob for end customers | Format follows where the remote lives |
The Mix That Works for a General Dealer
| Reference | Depth | Driven by |
|---|---|---|
| Rolling-code, 1-4 channel, handheld | Highest | Modern installed base, installer replacement orders |
| Rolling-code, keyfob format | High | End-customer replacement, keyring carry |
| Multi-band cloner | Moderate | Locksmith and van-stock tool sales |
| Fixed-code single-band | Low | Declining installed base, keep only what the area needs |
Depth Beats Breadth
A dealer carrying eight references at 20 pieces each will run out of the two that actually sell and be left holding the six that do not. The same capital concentrated on three references at 100 pieces each covers the demand and converts to a second order. MOQ 100 pcs per SKU is deliberately set at that level for exactly this reason.
The exception is a market with a genuinely fragmented installed base. There, breadth wins — but that is a market you can identify by asking your technicians which five door brands they meet most often in a month, not by reading a catalogue.
