DOOR HARDWARE GENERAL INFO.

Hardware Locations Diagram

The need for the formal recommendation concerning hardware locations arises principally from changing conditions in the building construction field. Architecutural handbooks treat the subject from the standpoint of traditional practice, which was on the wood doors and frames, job-fitted for hardware. In today's buildings, frames usually are of steel, and a large percentage of doors, whether of wood or metal, are being pre-fitted for hardware.
