Locks and Builders Hardware: A Hand Book for Architects (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Locks and Builders Hardware: A Hand Book for Architects

For the proper exposition of the subject of Builders' Hardware, especiallv in its practical relation to the work of the architect, it became necessarv to refer, specifically and in detail, to concrete examples of the product it embraces. To have omitted all such reference would have made the volume of little practical value to have selected diverse examples from the product of various manufacturers would have been confusing, illogical and contrary to actual practice if the product of one establishment was to be used for purposes of illustration it was expedient that the author should avail of the one with which he is most familiar. There fore he has not hesitated to avail franklv of the product of the works operated under his management.
