Strides have been made in terms of the aesthetics of door hardware over recent years and it no longer needs to appear industrial or for heavy duty environments only. In fact, it can often be matched to the interior with classic or contemporary styles. “Occupant experience is crucial, and essential components such as push and pull plates complete door set specification. Although not technically essential to the daily operation of doors, this signage helps to keep a buildings’ occupants safe by informing people of how the door operates, while it also helps to protect the wider door furniture as it’s less likely to be pushed or pulled in the wrong direction. All accessory components such as push and pull plates, fire door signs and toilet signage from Allegion are manufactured in stainless steel to match the principal items. Complete specification solutions “It can often seem to be a challenge to satisfy a variety of performance requirements – including fire safety, convenience, privacy, disabled access and reliability. I’d urge specifiers not to let these considerations be an afterthought. Seemingly more minor door hardware components can have a huge effect on the occupant experience and safety. We recently launched our inspec guide to aid specification of architectural ironmongery and have a strong selection of brands, like Briton, to help the industry put these lessons into practice.” For more information, visit www.allegion.com PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS WITH OUR HELP Low Cost and Free Publicity - You can benefit from some help in promoting your business, its products and services on the Door Industry Journal Blog at an incredibly low price (typically £30) towards our page creation and layout costs.
