Frame Hardware Preps
Factory-installed hardware preparations in hollow metal frames — ensuring precise ANSI/BHMA locations for all hardware types.
Hardware preps are factory-installed reinforcement, cutouts, and strike pockets placed at precise ANSI/BHMA locations in the frame. Specifying preps at the factory eliminates field modification and ensures every piece of hardware fits correctly on the first try.
