What Is Architectural Ironmongery?
The practice of ironmongery dates back hundreds of years. Back then, an ironmonger would be responsible for the creation of iron-based products for a particular area or region. Over time, the title of ironmonger has evolved to mean a manufacturer of goods made from brass, steel, aluminium, plastic and more.
Architectural ironmongery refers to the production and supply of hardware for use in buildings. These products are created via a range of modern techniques. They are vital to the safety, stability and functionality of a building.
Door locks, door handles, door closers, window locks and panic bolts all fall into the category of architectural hardware. Only those who create and/or supply high-quality products can consider themselves proficient in architectural ironmongery.
