I love it when people contact me with suggestions for iDigHardware, even when (or especially when?) their idea is something I should have come up with long ago. That’s what happened last week, when a distributor sent me an email to point out something that I hadn’t thought about.
For the last year+, I have been posting every Monday about the upcoming online classes for that week. This sort of just naturally happened when many of us started working remotely and we increased our online training. But several thousand people receive an email notification each Friday of the new posts on iDigHardware for the week. And for those people, it’s too late to take any of the classes that I wrote about on Monday.
So…I’m going to try to post a bit further ahead, so the weekly subscribers have a chance to participate in the classes. And if you have any suggestions or ideas about anything you’d like to see on iDigHardware, I’m always happy to hear them. Just leave a comment in the comment box at any time. Every comment comes straight to me.

NEXT WEEK!
Webinar Wednesday
Wednesday, December 15th (all times are Eastern)
- 10:00-11:00am: Low Energy Automatic Operator Fundamentals
- Automatic operators can help facilities and people with accessibility issues and touchless access preferences, but selecting the correct operator can be confusing. Is it permissible to use a motion detector to activate the door? Does a wave to activate actuator meet the Knowing Act requirements of the ANSI standards? Join us as we explore the differences between Low Energy automatic operators and Full Power (High Energy) automatic operators. Learn what the standards require for proper speed adjustments and opening force requirements for doors with automatic operators. Find out which LCN operators provide the most adjustability to meet building owner needs. Jeff Tock, AHC and Regional Training Manager for Allegion, will guide you through the exercise of choosing the operator that can best meet your needs.
- 2:00-3:00pm: Delayed Egress
- One of the golden rules in door hardware is that a lock should never impede egress, but there are specific situations where locking hardware is allowed to do so. In this presentation we will review “Delayed Egress,” a special code-regulated application that inhibits immediate passage through a door opening. We will explain what different codes say about this function with emphasis on where it can and cannot be used. We will give an overview of two of the most commonly used products to achieve delayed egress along with additional resources for more detailed requirements. John Dalrymple, AHC, and our End User Training Manager, will lead this discussion.
