Specs
If you can’t stand one more moment of reading about hardware and you just need HELP!!!, we’re here to talk you off the ledge. Whether you need a hardware consultant for one door or five thousand doors, we can help.
The services that we provide include:
- the complete hardware specification, formatted to match your project manual
- hardware sets and an index of door numbers and hardware set numbers
- catalog cuts for specified products
- site surveys and walk-throughs
- assistance with revisions, substitution requests, and value engineering
- coordination with other consultants – security, code, electrical
- the hardware submittal review
I know what you’re thinking…”Sounds expensive!” We don’t charge a fee for projects with less than 100 doors, or for the first specification for any firm. For larger projects our rate is $75/hour, and we will give you a not-to-exceed figure before we begin. If your deadline is quickly approaching and you should have called us weeks ago, call now and we’ll do our best. In many cases you can email the floor plans and door schedule and we can turn the hardware spec around within a week or two (sometimes even less!).

Is anyone familiar with a “M-10043 Dogging Kit”. This is all the information my customer is able to supply. Thanks.

Hello to New England,
After spending 30 minutes both amused and informed in your website (also Guam doesn’t seem to be on the list of sites served, we are an american territory same as PR) I have decided that I want “you” to be my hardware consultant.
Is that possible? I have a quick question on ratings on hospital corridor doors. Do exam room doors and doctor’s offices have to be rated assemblies if the floor is both sprinkled and smoke compartmented.
If the answer is really truly yes, I need a rated hardware set for a sliding door (doctor’s request, he wants it to slide rather than swing)

A few months ago someone asked about a lock for a sliding door. The answer was a top bolting mortiselock that looked like an L series Schlage supplied by Haworth Co. I downloaded the information to my files for future use, Now the project I am working on requires this type of lock. I have contacted them and was told they no longer have this lock. Does anyone know of a similar lock or can shed some light on were this lock is manufactured or distributed.
Thanks
