  • Windows & Doors Review: Entry-Door Hardware
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (1/21/2006)
  • In the race to keep up with the Joneses, homeowners are treating entry doors as an artistic way to express their personal tastes, and manufacturers are fueling the trend with dozens of new hardware designs in a variety of finishes. After all, a handleset is "the first piece of art that the Joneses see," says Minu Youngkin, residential marketing manager for Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies, of which Schlage is a brand. "Now it's more important to become innovative, to have different finishes and different looks," she adds.
  • Troubleshooting Roof Leaks--Fasteners
  • REPLACEMENT CONTRACTOR Magazine (11/1/2005)
  • Just as poor flashing details are much more likely to be the cause of a leak than the roofing itself, many leaks are caused by the use of insufficient or inadequate fasteners for sheathing, flashing, or roofing, and by the attempt to substitute caulk or roofing cement for flashing.
  • New Arrival: Thumbturn Deadbolt
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (9/1/2005)
  • Part of the Residential Maxum line, the Captive Thumbturn deadbolt features a removable thumbturn key that converts the deadbolt from a single cylinder to a double cylinder and back again. Leaving the thumbturn key in the lock allows the deadbolt to function as a single cylinder; removing it turns the deadbolt into a double cylinder, providing increased security, the maker says.
  • New Arrival: Mortise Lock
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (9/1/2005)
  • The 2-Point Mortise Locks multi-point hardware for sliding patio doors offers added security and performance over single-point locking hardware, the maker says. An anti-slam feature ensures that the lock hooks will not be damaged if the door is accidentally closed while the hooks are extended. Three styles are available.
  • New Arrival: Entry Handlesets
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (9/1/2005)
  • The Design Elements collection is constructed from solid brass and features three entry handlesets, two knobs, four levers, and three deadbolts in a variety of coordinating styles and three finishes. The Yale Quick Install feature allows installation in three steps and is designed to overcome potential installation problems, the maker says. An interconnected handleset design activates the latch and deadbolt in one motion.
  • New Arrival: Handlesets
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (7/1/2005)
  • Amherst, Hawthorne, Shelburne, and Wellington handlesets come in a wide range of finishes that vary by style, including polished and antique brass, antique and satin nickel, polished and satin chrome, and Venetian bronze. Ranging from classic to contemporary, all designs feature ANSI Grade 1 decorative deadbolts.
  • New Arrival: Cabinet and Drawer Knobs
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (7/1/2005)
  • Hand-carved cabinet and drawer knobs feature the same texture, color, durability, and firmness of genuine ivory but are made from Tagua palm tree nuts that are harvested from the rainforests of Columbia, Panama, and Ecuador. The nuts are collected after they fall to the ground, causing no harm to the trees or the rainforests, the company assures. Twelve knobs are available in the Tagua collection.
  • Interior Products Review: Period-Style Products
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (7/1/2005)
  • Time-worn brick, intricate moldings, decorative art glass, and knotty pine flooring reminiscent of simpler times can help homeowners escape the pressures of the 21st century. Whether they install just a few well-placed stained glass lighting fixtures that speak of Frank Lloyd Wright or elaborate molding and millwork to create a gingerbread-house effect, builders and remodelers are realizing that profits abound in the designs of days gone by.
