Hardware Reinforcements
Hardware reinforcements are factory-welded steel plates installed inside the door to support closers, exit devices, panic hardware, and other surface-mounted hardware. HMF Express installs reinforcements in 14 GA standard (up to 12 GA available) at precise locations — so the door is ready to accept hardware at the job site without field modification.
