Door hardware small investment represents a relative to D the total cost of a facility, typically 1 to 3 percent of the overall facility construction cost.
Door Hardware Overview

But door hardware has an impact on the facility out of proportion to their cost. The appearance and function of the doors and hardware are scrutinized daily by building occupants and visitors. Door hardware is more than just a cosmetic consideration. In fact, it plays a role in the operational integrity of a building, and more crucially, is a key element of a facility's fire safety and security.

Present Market

In early 2000, there were only one or two players, but today almost all leading global players are directly or indirectly present in India, and now we can see many quality players in India. Fancy door handles are trending within the door hardware market, and so is the demand for longer door hardware. The new building models accommodate doors and entrances with an expanded height and weight is one of the trends in the door hardware market.

The Future Outlook for Door Hardware Market

Hardware for Fire Doors:

Fire doors and their accompanying hardware, in particular, require special attention. Install equipment that is inefficient, and suddenly you could put a whole building's network of fire safety measures at risk. And in light of this year's debate on the government's planned fire safety reforms, the importance of function-specific door hardware is now more valued than ever.

Anti-Ligature Hardware:

Anti-ligature hardware, also known as ligature-resistant hardware, is a design that prevents a patient from tying an object on it to harm himself or herself. Anti-ligature hardware must also, like all hardware, comply with Disability Act standards. Good anti-ligature hardware is something that anyone can use but something that does not pose a threat to patients. Patients will not see it as an opportunity for self-harm.
