Architect Hardware Spec Guide Now Available
In designing and creating the Architect's Hardware Specification Guide it was a direct response to what ASSA ABLOY perceives to be an apparent need for a concise architectural hardware reference guide that is user friendly.
The content reflects the day-to-day information required by individuals involved in the specification of builder's hardware or can be used as a quick reference guide when information about master keying systems or industry terminology is required.
Especially helpful is the section dealing with hardware mounting locations, industry finish, lock functions and ANSI Standards (American National Standards Institute) all explained in an easy to follow format with illustrations.
The following is a list of the contents included within the Architect's Hardware Guide:
- How To Determine An Equal
- ANSI Standards
- ANSI/BHMA Standard Numbers & Grade Cycle Testing
- Estimated Door Usage
- Fire Door Class Identification Chart
- Handing Chart
- Mounting Locations
- Finishes
- Keying Systems & Terminology
- Planning A Master Key System
- Levels Of Control In Master Keying
- Explanation Of Coding System
- Keying Nomenclature
- Industry Abbreviations
- Hardware Specifications
We are pleased to make this guide available on our web site now. Click here to view and download it (Adobe Acrobat format, 20MB).

Norton Introduces the New 5700 Series Door Operator
Norton’s 5700 Series introduces a new generation of power door operators. Door operators were once considered a necessity only for those with physical challenges. Today, due to the population’s busy lifestyles, the convenience of “hands-free” door opening is more popular than ever. The patented design of LEO® is based on ease and simplicity. LEO installs in minutes rather than hours and consists of three basic components: inverter, motor and Norton’s 1601 closer body.
What separates LEO from other operators is its ability to function as a standard door closer. When the door is opened manually, there is little resistance and the drive train and motor are not engaged. The 1601 closer, not the motor, controls the closing cycle. Since the door closer does not back-drive the motor during the closing cycle, there is no loss of closer efficiency. In the event of a power outage, the door can be manually opened and will close via the door closer’s spring force.
LEO is listed with UL and ANSI/BHMA A156.19 and meets the requirements of ADA and A156.4. LEO is ideal for doctors’ offices, retirement facilities, schools, churches and any other locations where extra features are not required and noise may be a concern. LEO can be activated via wall switch, radio frequency device or motion sensor, and is available for push or pull side applications. Based on its dual functionality, ease of use and quiet operation, LEO offers the customer a unique choice!
