Architectural Ironmongery

The correct specification of architectural hardware is an essential part of any building project and this coupled with the current legislation, including building regulations, approved document part M and the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) means that hardware specification has to be done right and first time.

Whatever the project, either commercial or residential and whether you are looking for a modern contemporary design or traditional styles from a bygone era available in an array of finishes, the Keyways AI division can cater for all your needs. In addition we have worked extensively on bespoke solutions tailored to a clients needs and incorporating the latest technology.

Keyways AI offer a complete ironmongery scheduling/specification service for a wide range of architectural hardware, incorporating items such as door handles, hinges, signage, kicking plates, door closers, ancillary items and every thing that could be required for your building or refurbishment project.

Utilizing the latest computer software and working from architects’ floor plans, a designers’ brief or a clients’ specific requirements, our scheduling service can provide:

• A comprehensive itemised door by door ironmongery schedule.
• All listed products have full technical descriptions and performance criteria where applicable.
• A fully priced and itemised summary.
• Professional quality documentation, in either hard copy or electronic format

Our schedules are prepared in accordance with the Guild of Architectural Ironmongery (GAI) Code of Practice and incorporate all the latest European and British specification standards

Effective key control is also one of the most important elements in a building project and often not fully discussed or incorporated into the ironmongery specification. We can advise on the correct type of locks and cylinders required ensuring correct compatibility and function and assist with lock suiting or even design the complete master key system. The locks are all assembled in our own workshop, and our strict authorization procedures ensure that additional keys are only supplied on production of the correct written authority.

Keyways specialise in offering a total building solution, including door furniture, mechanical and electrical hardware, and also the electronic and physical security systems.
