Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA)

BHMA provides standards for architectural hardware such as locks and latches, hinges and thresholds.

    In addition, BHMA is involved in international standards, code and life safety regulations and other activities that specifically impact hardware.

    BHMA Standards are used by architects, construction

    • Pedestrian doors 
    • Locks and latches 
    • Architectural trim 
    • Hinges
