Door standards from the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association address a range of features and characteristics of doors. Covering door controls, hanging, locking, trimming, power assist, and other standards, this set comes together to provide a comprehensive toolkit for manufacturers to create hardware that designers and users can depend on with a focus on reliability and interoperability. These standards are related to cabinet trim, architectural trim, gasketing, and thresholds.
This Standard contains requirements for door protection plates, door and wall edgings, push plates, door pulls, push and pull bars, and vertical rod covers and guards. Included are strength, dimensional, and material criteria plus environmental performance.
This Standard contains requirements for cabinet hardware and includes hinges, knobs, pulls, catches, shelf rests, standards and brackets, drawer slides, rotating shelves and track with guides for sliding panels. Included are performance tests covering operational, cyclical, strength, and finish criteria.
This standard establishes requirements for Cabinet Locks used on doors, drawers and furniture. Cycle tests, operational tests, strength tests and finish tests are included.Tests described in this Standard are performed under laboratory conditions. In actual usage, results vary because of the material used in the installation, maintenance and environmental conditions.The intent of this standard is to provide fair, uniform and repeatable testing of cabinet locks.
This Standard establishes requirements for auxiliary hardware and includes performance tests covering operational, cyclical, strength or finish criteria. Tests described in this Standard are performed under laboratory conditions. In actual usage, results vary because of installation, maintenance and environmental conditions.
This Standard establishes requirements for thresholds. Types are described with identifying numbers. Strength tests, fastening systems, and gasketing tests are included.
This Standard establishes requirements for the performance and installation of gasketing systems including intumescents applied to, or mortised to, doors, frames or both. Included are performance tests intended to evaluate resistance to smoke and air infiltration, energy performance, and the life and durability of gasketing materials.
As the voice of the U.S. standards and conformity assessment system, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) empowers its members and constituents to strengthen the U.S. marketplace position in the global economy while helping to assure the safety and health of consumers and the protection of the environment.
