Hardware Preps
Factory-applied hardware preparations reduce field installation time and assure a precise, professional result. Specify your hardware manufacturer and model number and HMF Express will prep your doors to template.
Factory hardware preps eliminate field cutting and drilling — improving installation quality, security, and fire rating integrity. Just provide the hardware manufacturer and model number with your order, and we handle the rest.
