Architectural Door and Hardware has made available simple yet important “Customer Tools” accessible with a simple click of the mouse. From our credit application to code information, you will find it here.

Credit Application - Download Optional Word Doc
We have posted our credit application as a PDF and Word file so new customers can easily complete the form and return it by fax or email.

Door and Hardware Glossary of Terms
We know how confusing doors and hardware can be but we work with it on a daily basis. So, if you don’t know the meaning of a term or have a question this is the place to look.

Door Handing Guide
We have posted our door handing reference as a PDF file. There is one page for single openings and another for paired openings. This can be a helpful educational tool that helps eliminate common errors and misunderstandings made regarding door handlings.

Hinge Location Reference
We have posted our hinge location reference as a PDF file. There are three pages here showing the different common manufacturers locations, how they would measure on the door, and how they would measure on the frame.

Field Measuring Templates
We have posted our field measuring templates as a PDF file. There is one page for a “Replacement Door” and another for a “Replacement Frame”. This resource can be very helpful when a customer is trying to order a new door for an existing frame or a new frame for an existing door. Combined with the hinge location reference, these tools can eliminate most common ordering mistakes.

Code and Regulatory Forms
We have posted some common code and regulatory information regarding doors and hardware. This  can be very helpful in answering common questions that customers routinely face.

You will find four resources here:
1. ADA Compliance
2. Fire Safety (NFPA 90)
3. Life Safety (NFPA 101)
4. Positive Pressure Information
