Architects
As an architect, you have enough on your plate without having to worry about door hardware specifications. You are responsible for understanding model building codes, life safety and national fire protections standards, and Accessibility/ADA requirements. You need to be familiar with the immense volume of industry products and solutions to select the best option. You need to coordinate and integrate your door hardware with building security and building management. All the while, you also are responsible for designing optimal operational openings while balancing safety and security, without forgetting to make sure they are convenient to operate. It can be an overwhelming and daunting task!
