value engineering
The design you specified, at a cost the project can carry
Architects, developers, and builders are under growing pressure to deliver quality results on time and on budget, and door hardware is often where the two collide. The finer details that make hardware suit a design are the same details that push up its cost. Value engineering is how we bring that cost down, and our quality process is how we make sure nothing else comes down with it.
what we offer
- Alternative core materials or construction that keep the proportions, look and function you specified
- Cost reviewed across the whole project, not one product at a time
- One-off and special items value engineered for volume
- Quality checked at every stage, with a warranty of up to 25 years on most products
where the core sits
Because we design, make, and manage supply in-house on one integrated system, we can see where cost sits in every item on your schedule. That lets us adjust materials, construction, or supply to bring the price down without changing the look, feel, or function you specified.
checked at every stage
A lower price never means a lower standard. Every product begins as a detailed drawing, then goes through sampling and testing against building codes and fire rating standards before it goes into production.
same intent, lower cost
We can usually find a similar variant with a different core material or structure that keeps the proportions, aesthetic and functionality you wanted at a lower cost. The same applies to bespoke pieces: a design made once for a display suite can be re-engineered for production across a whole building. Value engineering works best alongside a door hardware schedule, where every door and item is mapped and savings can be found across the full project before anything is ordered.
delivered in full, on time
The same system that shows us where cost sits also tracks your order from production through to dispatch. We plan production against demand, so the hardware you need is ready when your project needs it, and your order arrives complete and on schedule.
built to last
Most of our door handles and door hardware carry an extended warranty of up to 25 years, subject to conditions. It reflects how the hardware is made and our confidence in how long it will last. We welcome feedback on our products and service, and we use it to keep improving.
