Architectural Hardware Consulting Services
Door hardware may only be a small percentage of the cost of the design and construction process, but it encompasses 90 percent of what s touched in a building and it s often the largest problem area during construction. Without familiarity and expertise, you re likely to experience the issues that come with poorly specified door hardware: construction delays, unnecessary change orders, added costs, and, most of all, frustrated clients.
At Ingersoll Rand, we want to partner with you. We offer experience and expertise that dates back to the first panic release bar in 1908 a device we designed after a theatre fire claimed nearly 600 lives simply because a door wouldn t open from the inside. Today, that needless loss remains part of the underpinning current that motivates our team of professionals to construct security solutions that meet the needs of commercial facilities of varying sizes and functions.
We offer a full range of spec writing services. We believe in the quality and craftsmanship of our products. But if they aren t properly incorporated into a building, their full value goes unrealized. Ingersoll Rand products are not only designed to complement your architectural vision, but also to function in a way that suits the operational and security needs of a facility. Our hardware consultants know their stuff. They are well versed on local and national building codes, the unique needs of various types of facilities, access control and egress requirements all the things you need in specifying door hardware solutions. When you partner with Ingersoll Rand, you receive: A Dedicated Resource Our hardware consultants are regionally located so you can count on a dedicated resource to develop a thorough understanding of your firm and clients. Clear Communication In addition to our recommendations, we ll communicate any issues or areas of concern and work with you to identify the best solutions. Customized Solutions We provide customized solutions that are both aesthetically and functionally appropriate. Security that Matters Our products exceed the highest security standards as well as provide opportunities to integrate with other systems and features in the building.
