Single and double acting spring hinges Founded in 1876, Bommer provides quality and innovation in hinges, intended for architectural and commercial use. Architectural Grade Butt Hinges are built to an industry wide template – meaning the screw hole pattern is shaped like an arch and dimensions are identical across 4” or 4.5” hinge types. Their industry-leading line of Single Acting Spring Hinges is designed for wooden doors, and they can be set to desired tension in the spring. Their world-renowned Double Acting Spring Hinges also allows you to set the tension of the spring with the included tension rod and pin, and can be used with or without a mortise. The width of the door determines the type of hinge. The door weight determines the number of hinges you will need. Specialty Door and Gate Pivots and high quality Lavatory Hardware make Bommer the number one choice for all types of commercial door products.

Door security and access management solutions Detex is a leading manufacturer of innovative security door hardware that protects people and secures property. The product line includes exit alarms, magnetic switches, integrated alarm systems, guard tour systems, panic bars, delayed egress devices, lockdown kits and security software. The company was established in the 1870’s by A. A. Newman and manufactured and distributed Watchman’s Clock Systems until 1963, when it introduced a line of security door hardware products. Entering the builders’ hardware market, the new products were designed to control exits and entries in industrial, commercial, institutional and educational buildings, to great success. Today, architects, builders and owners continue to rely on Detex for complete door security solutions. Safety is integrated into building planning, with solutions like architectural hardware, integrated door security, specialty locking and guard tour verification systems. Architectural options solve both technical and aesthetic requirements, such as electrified alarms that are available as either surface or flush mount. Additional security can be provided by adding electrified functions to existing doors, making a simple exit device far more secure. Detex also specializes in access control that meets additional requirements such as fire-rated devices, and electric dogging kits with multiple locking options in case of fire or emergency. The expanded product line includes guard tour software and hardware for buildings that require additional support and information. Solutions for access management are available either as individual components or complete kits. Applications include hardwired doors, multi-point locks, automatic door operators and RFID systems. Options, such as 15-second delays on exit devices, allow management time to respond before someone exits, and the alarm deters the exit from occurring.

Considerations when choosing electrified door hardware When choosing a solution for securing your entrances, there are many options to provide security and peace of mind. At K.M Thomas, not only can we provide you with quality products, but we work with you to created complete solutions. Key information about door security hardware will help you make an informed choice. There are many options available when choosing electrified door hardware. Considerations include the type of project, budget and code requirements. As with the choice of mechanical hardware, there are also many choices available for function and the appearance of electrical door hardware products (door security hardware). When choosing a lock system, you will chose an option based on what happens when the power is interrupted. A lock that is powered to lock is called fail-safe (or fail-unlocked), whereas a lock powered to unlock is called fail-secure (or fail-locked). When power is removed from a fail-safe lock, the door is unlocked. Fail-secure locks offer a higher level of security because during a loss of power it will remain locked. Security and safety both need to be considered when choosing which function of lock is used on an opening. There are also building code considerations which will limit or dictate which option is chosen. Electric strikes are a simple solution for most styles of door locks Electric door strikes are often chosen to provide the unlocking, unlatching function for openings. Conveniently, electric strikes are available to work with most styles of locking hardware such as cylindrical, mortise and exit device locks. They can represent a simple method of accomplishing this task, but there are more elegant and secure options. Fire rated openings must be positively latched during a fire alarm condition, so the choice of hardware must take this into account. A fail-safe electric mortise or cylindrical lock (where the handles are unlocked when power is removed) could be used on a fire rated opening while a fail-safe electric strike could not. This is because a fail-safe electric strike would not keep the door latched during a loss of power. When an electric strike is unlocked, the door can be pushed or pulled open without turning a handle to retract the latch. Many lock manufacturers offer a wide range of electrified options for their mortise and cylindrical locks, as well as exit devices or panic sets. Mortise and cylindrical, electric locks allow one or both handles to be locked or unlocked electrically. Electric exit devices can be ordered with exterior lever trims which can be used to provide access. Electric latch retraction is an elegant method of unlocking and unlatching a door that has an exit device. When power is applied, the...
