PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 EXAMINATION
A. Examine doors, frames, and related items for conditions that would prevent the proper application of finish
hardware. Do not proceed until defects are corrected.
3.02 INSTALLATION
A. Install each hardware item in strict compliance with the manufacturer's printed instructions and
recommendations, using only fasteners supplied by, or called for by the manufacturer.
B. Set units level, plumb and true to the line and location. Prepare and reinforce the attachment substrate as
necessary for proper installation and operation.
C. Mortise and cut to close tolerance and conceal evidence of cutting in the finished work. Drill and countersink
units which are not factory prepared for anchorage fasteners.
D. If manufacturers instructions do not call out a mounting location, refer to the Door and Hardware Institute's
publication Recommended Locations for Architectural Hardware. Install 3211T wall stops to engage levers or pulls.
E. Deliver to the owner one (1) complete set of installation and adjustment instructions, as well as all tools that were
furnished with the hardware.
3.03 ADJUSTMENT AND CLEANING
A. At final completion, adjust and check each operating item of hardware at each door to ensure proper operation
and function of every unit. Lubricate any moving parts that do not operate freely, smoothly, and quietly using only
lubricant as recommended by the manufacturer of the hardware item. Replace units that can not be adjusted or
lubricated to operate properly.
B. Instruct the owners personnel in the proper adjustments of the hardware as needed.
C. Clean and restore hardware to the original finish.
3.04 HARDWARE SCHEDULE
END OF SECTION
Note:
Door hardware manufacturers market their products through contract hardware distributors. These
distributors have direct access only to certain manufacturers whom they generally support. It is common for a
distributor to have direct access to one, two, or three of the packages shown below. It is rare for a distributor to
have direct access to one part of a package, but not have direct access to the other parts of that package.
Also, on larger or high profile jobs some hardware manufacturers give better discounts to distributors if they
purchase the entire package of locks, exit devices and door closers from that manufacturer.
Because of both the above factors it helps to maximize the level of competition to include whole packages
in specifications.
