Commercial Security Hardware: It All Starts With The Door
Doors can be equipped with push / pull hardware, door viewers, sweeps, plates, flush bolts, center pivots, offset pivots, butt hinges, concealed over-head hinges, floor closers, or over-head surface / concealed closers.
Most commercial lock hardware is equipped with conventional lock cylinders. As an alternative, most locks are available with Interchangeable Cores (IC) or Removable Cores (RC). IC or RC equipped locks provide a significant increase in the number of change key in a masterkey system. RC is specific to the lock manufacturer that makes them and cannot normally be used on other manufacturers lock hardware.
Aluminum doors are often sold with pull or push handles or bars. When in the unlocked position, a pull or push handle/bar can be used to operate an aluminum door equipped with a deadbolt or hook bolt style lock.
Once the door has all the proper hardware installed, other than being inspected once a year, the hardware should last a very long time.
