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).

Best Introduces the New 40H Mortise Lock
Taking a facility from architectural blueprint to completed project can be a complicated process. Decisions have to be made, deadlines have to be met, and rarely does anything go exactly according to plan. But at least there’s a simple solution when it comes to the protection of your facility…the 40H Mortise Lock from Best Access Systems. With its advanced features, improved functionality and unique versatility, the 40H Mortise Lock not only provides reliable performance after installation, but incredible flexibility before it’s installed. And that’s something you can plan on.
Plans can change.
So can the 40H Mortise Lock.
No matter how well you plan, mistakes can happen. Whether it’s an error in a site survey, an oversight in a construction schedule take-off, or simply a change in the building design and requirements, any change can be costly and time-consuming. But with the 40H Mortise Lock you can postpone critical decisions on the final lock configuration all the way up to the point of installation. That’s because the universal case design of the 40H Mortise Lock allows you to not only change the handing of the lock on-site, but reconfigure it to a variety of functions at the same time. And you can do so without ever opening the lock case. So no matter how your plans change, the 40H Mortise Lock can change right along with you.
- Cylinder Retainer - The non-handed cylinder retainer offers the ability to change the lock’s handing without opening the case. Clamping down on both sides of the case, the assembly eliminates the need to reposition parts during handing changes.
- Hub Toggle- With our advanced hub toggle design, changing the handing of the 40H Mortise Lock has never been easier. The positions of the hub toggle determine whether the hub is always locked, always unlocked or locked by key.
- Universal Strike - With its specially designed strike box, the 40H Mortise Lock has the ability to provide a non-handed strike, as well as retain the more aesthetic curved lip design. So now, you don’t have to choose between one or the other.
- Auxiliary Latchbolt - The 40H Mortise Lock is about making handing changes easier. This includes the symmetrical design of the stainless steel auxiliary latch, which eliminates the need to rotate the bolt during re-configuration.
