Hardware matchmaker

A web-based matchmaker service to help specifiers choose the most suitable fire rated door hardware forms a part of the new look Door & Hardware Federation (DHF) website (www.dhfonline.org.uk).
 
The matchmaker section of the website lists CE-marked hardware products. Specifiers are able to search the database for products which offer the performance they need for particular applications.
 
The matchmaker section can be found by following the architectural ironmongery area of interest from the homepage of the DHF website.
 
Once the specifier has drilled down to the most suitable product, they can then visit the producer’s own website with just one click to gather further product information.
 
The site will always be up to date and feature the latest products because it has been designed to allow individual DHF member companies to input their own product information direct.
 
DHF chief executive officer Ian Wood said: “This unique matchmaker service really does move the specification of CE marked fire rated door hardware up to a new level.
 
“We incorporated this service for specifiers into the website because we were most conscious of the inadequacy of European standards covering hardware. A product is either fire rated or non fire rated – but the specifier needs to know much more than that.”
