Everything that happens to a door

Independent, so one schedule usually draws on four or five makers. Nothing on it is there because it happens to be the range we represent.

Categories34Manufacturers14, no exclusive tieFinishes13

Six jobs, every door

The order a schedule is written in
Hang it Hinges, pivots, floor springs, sliding and pocket door gear.
Secure it Locks, latches, cylinders, keeps, padlocks, high security doorsets.
Operate it Levers, pull handles, knobs, thumbturns, panic and emergency exit hardware.
Close it Overhead and concealed closers, floor springs, coordinators, hold‑open devices.
Protect it Intumescent and smoke seals, kick and finger plates, edge and weather protection.
Dress it Escutcheons, numerals, signage, letter plates, radiator grilles.

That order, on every leaf in the building. It is the order that stops things being missed.

Tell us the one item nobody can place.

Ring and describe it. If it hangs on a door, seals a gap or fixes to a wall, it is almost certainly already on that list of thirty four.
