BHMA: Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association
BHMA, the Builder's Hardware Manufacturers Association, is a nonprofit organization that develops and publishes standards for the manufacturing of builder's hardware. Headquartered in New York City, United States, BHMA standards are used by over 80% of all the manufacturers in its field in the United States. With 75 member companies, BHMA standards are widespread and serve as the industry standard. Standards from BHMA are available both individually, directly through the ANSI webstore, and as part of a Standards Subscription. If you or your organization are interested in easy, managed, online access to standards that can be shared, a Standards Subscription may be what you need - please contact us at: [email protected] or 1-212-642-4980 or Request Proposal Price.
Below are BHMA's best-selling standards. To find additional standards, please use the search bar above.
ANSI/BHMA A156.10-2024
Standard for Power Operated Pedestrian Doors
Scope Requirements in this Standard apply to power operated doors for pedestrian use which open automatically when approached by pedestrians and some small vehicular traffic or by a knowing act. Included are provisions to reduce the chance of user injury or entrapment. Power operated doors for industrial or trained traffic are not covered in this Standard. Where this Standard contains specifications relating to minimum or maximum dimensions of various components of power operated doors for pedestrian use and some small vehicular traffic, such dimensions are included to provide user protection for what are, in the industry, standard application conditions. This Standard does not apply to custom installations. This Standard does not apply to power assist and low energy power operated doors. Refer to ANSI/BHMA A156.19 for Power Assist and Low Energy Power Operated Doors. Required dimensions are expressed in US units first; approximate metric equivalents follow in parentheses. The following is a conversion chart for inches to approximate mm equivalents where not given in the standard. The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for the essential keying conference, establish good practices for effective key management and give building owners the ability to extend the life of keying systems to meet future demands, maintain security and reduce expenses.
ANSI/BHMA A156.19-2019
Power Assist And Low Energy Power Operated Swinging Doors
Requirements in this Standard apply only to swing door operators. The operator types are power assist, and low energy power operators, for pedestrian use, and some small vehicular use. It does not address doors, finish or hardware. The activation of all doors described in this standard requires a knowing act. Included are provisions intended to reduce the chance of user injury or entrapment. These products are intended to improve accessibility.

ANSI/BHMA A156.27-2024
Standard for Power and Manual Operated Revolving Pedestrian Doors
Requirements in this standard apply to power operated revolving type doors which rotate automatically when approached by pedestrians, some small vehicular use, and manual revolving type doors for pedestrians. Included are provisions to reduce the chance of user injury and entrapment. Where this standard contains specifications relating to maximum and minimum dimensions of various components of revolving doors for pedestrian use and some small vehicular traffic, such dimensions are included to provide user protection for what are in the industry, standard application conditions. This standard does not attempt to assess any factors that exist with respect to custom installations. Enclosure sizes shown in the charts are considered by the industry to be standard and practical to meet the majority of the market needs and are shown as a guide to installers, service providers, owners and architects. Deviation from enclosure sizes shown does not constitute non-compliance if the door complies with all requirements in the standard. Tests described in this standard are performed under laboratory conditions. Measurements shall be taken under neutral air pressure conditions. In actual usage, results vary because of installation, maintenance and environmental conditions.
