Understand the Building Requirements
Before selecting hardware, consider:
- Traffic levels
- ADA and fire code compliance
- Aesthetics and finishes
- Security requirements
- Use case (e.g., warehouse vs. school)
CD Morris evaluates your project and recommends hardware that checks all these boxes.
Locksets and Cylinders: Where Security Starts
Types of Locksets
- Mortise Locks: Heavy-duty and secure
- Cylindrical Locks: Easy installation
- Electronic Locks: Smart access integration
Choosing Cylinders:
Master key systems, high-security cylinders, and key control options all affect safety and convenience.
CD Morris supplies door locksets from trusted manufacturers that are built to last.
Hinges: Smooth Operation Starts Here
Choose from:
- Ball bearing hinges for frequent use
- Spring hinges for automatic closure
