...this way to the egress.
     I always think of the story about P.T. Barnum, in his traveling circus in the late 1800’s, trying to get his visitors out of an exhibit so that new customers could come in. He eventually put up a sign saying “This way to the egress,” figuring most people wouldn’t know the word just meant “exit.” According to the legend, it worked.
     One thing hasn't changed over the years, we still need exits.  Building and fire codes have made choosing the proper exit device a difficult task. 
     In your home is a single cylinder deadbolt sufficient, or do you need a heavy duty double cylinder one? 
     Exit Panic Devices come in all shapes and sizes.  They're designed to fit any door shape and building situation, including schools, hospitals, hotels and more.  Some codes require fire ratings.
     Let's not forget roof hatches.  Large or small they are an integral part of today's construction requirements
     Handicap design is an important element in today's architectural landscape.  Door knobs are replaced with door levers.  Cabinet knobs are replaced with cabinet handles.
     A current architectural design trend is moving towards keyless locks.  Kiwkset's Samrt Series and Weiser's Powerbolt Series are two of keyless design's leading manufacturers .

Heavily used doors must be ready to accomodate the release of large number of people very quickly. Exit panic devices are designed to provide the least resistance to a crowd of people trying to quickly exit a building. We carry Von Duprin and Monarch exit panic devices that surpass government regulations.  Learn More
CPU HolderRoof Hatches, sometimes called an access hatch, provides access to a roof or deck. Roof Hatches are typically designed to provide access to the roof of a building so equipment may be serviced or replaced and are sometimes required to meet certain specifications or building codes.  Learn More
Quick Tip:  You just replaced a door lock but one of the screws keeps spinning in the oversized hole in the wood door.  Get  flat toothpicks, dip them in wood glue and shove a few into the screw hole.  Break off the toothpick ends. Now go ahead and screw in that screw.
