Commercial Hardware

Most commercial hardware can be incorporated into our door panels, including flush bolts, exit devices (rim, mortise, surface vertical rod and concealed vertical rod), door closers, electric strikes, and others.

NOTE: Some hardware installations may require modifications to door leaf or frame detailing, such as concealed closers and meeting rail weather-strip at concealed vertical rod assemblies. Contact factory for assistance. Hardware must be suitable for our standard 2 1/4” leaf thickness.

Glazing

Dry Glazing

Specially developed extruded silicone gasket sets the glass by compression. Our proprietary system is long-lived, low maintenance and warer resistant.

Wet Glazing

Our special silicone wet glazing compound bonds to the glass for long-lived sealing. Plus, our continuous extruded silicone weatherstrip runs around the frame perimeter and the seal is not compromised by seasonal expansion and contractions of the sash and frame.
