Is the hardware compatible with the storefront entrances?
A. This is a very good question and a difficult one to answer since the variety of hardware has gotten more technical over the past ten years. With the electrical security systems and electrical fire safety systems available today the difficulty level has increased tenfold. Many glazing contractors get trapped on this issue and end up doing extra work fabricating access holes and even wiring hardware from the storefront door to an electrical source of some kind so other contractors can connect their systems. Coordination meetings with our experienced team before construction will help solve many of these issues and help sub-contractors plan for what everyone needs to accomplish.
