Stiles and rails shown will take regular beveled, rounded and rab- betted face hardw are. Templet Hardware should always be specified for hollow metal work and is ordinarily furnished under separate contract. Schedules and templets of hardw are for each opening are required before materials can be placed in production, as all mortising for hardware is done while steel is “flat”. Templets may be either blue print or physical. Hardw are manufacturers can usually furnish blue print templets on very short notice. Altho frames only are being supplied, lock as well as strike plate templets must be furnished in order to properly locate the strike plates in the frames. Finished hardware, except as noted, should be shipped to our plant, as it is not only customary but good practice to apply hardware at the factory. Door checks, brackets, transom lifters and hardware of a similar nature that would interfere with crating, as well as hardware for combination type frames, should be delivered direct to the building and applied there by the contractor erecting the doors. HANDS OF DOORS T HE “Hand” of a swing door is de¬ termined by facing the door from the outside. The “outside” is the street side of an exterior door, and the corridor or hall side of a room door. The “outside” of a communicating door, from room to room, is the side from which butts cannot he seen when door is closed. The “outside” of twin doors is the space between the two doors. The “outside” of a bath room or closet door is the corridor or room side. Door opening inward or from you, with butts on left, is left hand swing and takes a regular left hand lock if key operates from outside. Door opening inward or from you, with butts on right, is right hand swing and takes a regular right hand lock if key operates from outside. Door opening outward or toward you, with butts on right, is left hand swing and takes a right hand reverse bevel lock if key operates from outside. If key ope- rates from inside regular left hand lock is used. Door opening outward or toward you, with butts on left, is right hand swing and takes a left hand reverse bevel lock if key operates from outside. If key operates from inside regular right hand lock is used. If key operates from both sides regular hand lock is used. If doors are in pairs, active door deter¬ mines hand, and the side from which key operates governs the hand of lock. The hand of a casement sash is deter¬ mined by facing the sash from the room side. If butts are on the left it is left hand swing, irrespective of whether sash open in or out. If butts are on the right it is right hand swing. If sash are in pairs, active sash or the one to which fastener is attached deter¬ mines hand.

ELEVATOR ENCLOSURES T HE Metal Door & Trim Co. have devoted considerable time and thought to the development of hollow steel elevator en¬ closures—not only from the standpoint of appearance, stability, and protection against fire—but from that of smooth and efficient opera¬ tion as well. Noise has been reduced to a minimum. Doors, amply reinforced for hardware and operating equipment, are designed solely for use in connection with elevator enclosures. They are exceptionally sturdy (Stiles and Rails of 12 gauge steel) to with¬ stand the hard usage to which elevator doors are subjected. Hanger Housings, of heavy steel plate, are supported—independent of the walls—by structural angles extending from sill to ceiling. Angles also act as supports for door closers and pneumatic operators. Frames, formed of heavy steel—with welded corners—are secured to hanger housings and sills. These serve only to trim the openings; the weight of the doors is carried by the hanger housings and struc¬ tural angles. This type of construction is unusally rigid and eliminates sagging and cracking of walls—usually prevalent in ordinary frame construction. Since smoothness and efficiency of operation depend in a great mea¬ sure on the door-operating hardware and sills, and the manner in which they are installed, we recommend that these items be included in our contract. Incidentally this practice is more satisfactory to all concerned, inasmuch as it eliminates division of responsibility. STYLES OF ELEVATOR ENCLOSURES I LLUSTRATIONS cover all styles of enclosures in general use. Suitable provisions are made for door operating hardware. Enclosures are standard in construction and can be had in any width and height, and to suit any wall thickness. These enclosures can be supplied with doors, frames, sills and casings in any of the designs and profiles shown in their respective sections. ANGLE STRUT 16 OR 18 GA. HANGER COVER 12 GA.

Angle Supports —Hanger housings are supported independent of the walls by two structural steel angles extending from sill to either steel or concrete beam overhead and securely fastened in place. One of these angles is located to act as a closer support when closers or pneumatic operators are used. Frames (Combination Buck, Jamb and Trim Type) —Frames are formed of 16 gauge steel, mitred and welded at corners. They are securely fastened to hanger housings with machine screws and to the sills with clip angles and cap screws. Where required, a suitable number of rubber bumpers is provided. Frames (Combination Buck and Jamb Type) —Frames are formed of 12, 14 or 16 gauge steel, either mitred or coped and welded at corners.

HARDWARE FOR ELEVATOR ENCLOSURES ^Cr> O N THE succeeding pages are illustrated various arrangements showing clearances required for Pneumatic Door Operators and Door Closers, together with a complete specification covering hard¬ ware of practically every make and type. Experience has shown that the operation of elevator enclosures is more consistently efficient when hardware, in addition to all other items, is included in the door manufacturer's contract. Incidentally, this practice is generally more satisfactory to all concerned, since it eliminates division of responsibility. In the event hardware is furnished under separate contract, it is important that schedules and templets be promptly furnished, to permit drilling and tapping for hardware before assembling, and mortising while steel is “flat." Templets may be either blue print or physical. All finished hardware should be shipped direct to the building for application, except butt hinges, flush bolts, latches, and door handles, which are usually applied at our factory.

Combination 3 is most generally used for Freight or Service Elevators, where low cost and safety, rather than speed and quietness of operation, are the primary considerations. Combination 4 not being equipped with inter¬ locks does not prohibit the starting or operation of elevators while doors are open or unlocked. Interlocks are required by law in most cities, and their use generally effects a saving on Public Liability Insurance. Dual Control (Combination Push Button and Car Switch Elevators) and Push Button Elevators 5. Semi-Automatic Door Operation Hangers Door Closers with Supports Electrical and Mechanical Interlocks Door Handles 6. Manual Door Operation Hangers Electrical and Mechanical Interlocks Gravity Locks, Latches or Door Handles. Note — Electrical and Mechanical Interlocks vary in construction and operation. These form an important part of the controlling mechan¬ ism of Push Button and Dual Control Elevators and should always be included in the elevator contract. A—One of the types most commonly used, con¬ sists of an electric interlock operated by a mechanical latch which also acts as a lock on the door closer arm. Mechanical latch is oper¬ ated through a sill trip by means of an auto¬ matically operated cam attached to the car. GENERAL Combination slide and swing type doors must be equipped with butt binges and flush bolts in addition to the other hard¬ ware. Codes governing the installation of ele¬ vator door-operating hardware should be considered, as one of the requirements of most states and cities is that all openings must be equipped with Electric Interlocks. In Pennsylvania, the code requires that openings for all types of elevators be pro¬ vided with a combined Electrical and Me¬ chanical Interlock, so arranged that it can only be operated by the car when at the landing. (This device should be included in the elevator contract.) B—Another type frequently used, consists of an arm mounted on the door which engages an interlock attached to the frame, automatically locking the doors when in a fully closed posi¬ tion. Gravity locks or latches are sometimes specified for the purpose of holding doors closed until contact is made in the interlock, while in some cases door handles only are used. Door closers are, however, recommended to insure doors always being fully closed, as occasionally, through negligence, doors are left partly open when not equipped with closers. NOTES Sequence Relays are required in Pennsyl¬ vania and New Jersey. New York State, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., require that keys be provided for unlocking doors on all floors from the corridor side. (This of course does not apply to Push Button or Dual Control Elevators.) Note —Electrical and Mechanical Interlocks , de¬ scribed in paragraph “A” under Dual Control and Push Button Elevators , will meet the requirements of the Pennsylvania code, and can be used with all types of elevators. When used with Straight Car Switch Elevators, the cam must, however, be manu¬ ally operated. This device is adaptable for use with Pneumatic Operators (Side arm engines ) and Barlock Inter¬ locks as well as Door Closers. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ELEVATOR DOOR HARDWARE All hardware shall be of dependable and recognized manufacture subject to the Architect's approval Hangers — Hangers may be of sheave, roller or ball bearing type, and shall be of sufficient weight and strength to support the doors specified for the installation. Hangers shall be so constructed as to insure quiet, smooth operation and to take care of the up-thrust always prev¬ alent in elevator doors, particularly where pneumatic operators are used. Hangers are provided with pivoting devices when doors are combination Classification of Hangers Single-Speed — One door moving in one direction. Two-Speed —Two doors moving in one direction, one at twice the speed of the other. Note —Gear or compensating devices in the hangers are omitted when door closers or pneu¬ matic operators are used, as the closer arms operate both doors. Three-Speed— Three doors moving in one direction, fast door at triple the speed of slow door and intermediate door at twice the speed of slow door. Note —When standard door closers or pneumat¬ ic operators are used, gear or compensating devices in the hangers are only required between the intermediate and slow doors, as closer arms operate the fast and intermediate doors. Gear or compensating devices in the hangers are entirely omitted when special door closers or pneumatic operators are used, as the closer arms operate all three doors. Center-Parting —Two doors moving si¬ multaneously in opposite directions. Note —Gear or chain devices in the hangers are omitted only when overhead pneumatic operators are used. Two - Speed Center - Parting (Four Doors) —Two sets of two-speed doors mov ing simultaneously in opposite di¬ rections. Note —The only practical method of operation is by means of overhead pneumatic operators, in which case, gear, chain or compensating devices in the hangers are omitted. Pneumatic Door Operators— Side arm engines are used with single, two and three-speed doors; overhead engines with center-parting and two-speed cen¬ ter-parting doors, altlio side arm type can also be used with center-parting doors. Doors shall be equipped with pneumat¬ ic operators which shall automatically open and close the doors without undue noise or slamming and without any rebound action. Operators are controlled by means of a cam attached to the car which functions automatically in the case of self-leveling elevators and manually when elevators are straight car switch type. The operating arms of this device, being in a straight line when doors are closed, act as a lock, making it impossi¬ ble to open the doors from the corridor side. Operating arms are finished in black or other painted finish. slide and swing type. A parking valve is usually provided for all ground floor openings so that doors can be opened with a key from the corridor side. Note —If desired , air compressors can be shut down at any time, and the doors operated manu¬ ally, the same as if equipped with door closers. Air Compressors, Etc. (For Pneumat¬ ic Door Operators)— At a location, predetermined and shown on the drawings, the contractor for pneumatic operators shall furnish and install du¬ plicate direct-connected motor-driven air compressors, each of sufficient ca¬ pacity to meet the demands of the door- operating equipment. He is also to provide necessary tanks, gauges, valves, automatic motor-starting equipment, piping, etc., to make a complete in¬ stallation. In the event air compressors, etc., are furnished and installed under separate contract, which is very often the case, the contractor furnishing the compres¬ sors shall supply sufficient air pressure at the bottom of hatchways to operate the pneumatic devices. All piping, pressure regulators, tanks, etc., from this point are to be furnished and in¬ stalled by the contractor for pneumatic operators, including connections to air outlets at the bottom of hatches. Door Closers —Doors shall be equipped with door closers of the spring-hydrau¬ lic type. The doors are opened manual¬ ly, and the door closers noiselessly and automatically close the doors. When doors are closed, the closer arms, being in a straight line, act as a lock, making it impossible to open the doors from the corridor side. When door closers are used in connec- nection with Push Button or Dual Control Elevators, the door-operating arms remain in a broken position when doors are fully closed, so that upon arrival of car at floor the doors can be opened from either side. Special provisions are made for dis¬ connecting the closer arms when doors are combination slide and swing type. Closer arms are finished in black or other painted finish. Keys for unlocking doors from corridor side are usually provided for ground floor openings, except when used with Push Button or Dual Control Eleva¬ tors. Supports —3 x 3 x %£ structural steel angle support shall be provided for each door closer. 4 x 4^2 x 3/g" structural steel angle support shall be provided for each pneumatic operator of the side engine type. Special framing shall be provided for pneumatic operators of the overhead type. Supports and framing are included as a part of the frame construction. Electric Interlocks— Electric interlocks including wiring shall be provided for each opening. These devices are con¬ nected to and operated by the door- operating arms of the pneumatic opera¬ tors or door closers. They are so de¬ signed that when any door is opened, the elevator control circuit through the interlock is opened, making it impossi¬ ble to move the elevator until the doors in that hatch are closed. Emergency Release Switches —An emergency release switch, including necessary wiring, shall be installed in each elevator cab. Switch is operated by a push button protected by a “break- glass cover" and is so connected that continuous pressure of the button will short-circuit and nullify the interlock system so that elevator may be operat¬ ed (in case of emergency) while doors in that hatch are open. The instant pressure is removed from the button the interlocks again become effective. Rack and Pawl Devices —Each opening shall be equipped with a rack and pawl device. The pawl is applied to the doors and engages rack attached to sills locking the doors during the last six inches of closing movement. This de¬ vice permits the advancement of con¬ tact in the electric interlocks so that the operating circuit of the elevator is closed when doors are within three to four inches of their closed position, thus safely permitting accelerated start¬ ing of elevators. Car Trips and Striker Plates — A car trip shall be provided on each elevator platform and a striker plate on the doors at the ground floor. This device holds the doors in an open position when car is at rest until released by means of a foot pedal installed in the car. Where desired, striker plates can be provided for doors on all floors. Car trips and striker plates are not practical for Push Button or Dual Control Elevators. Where devices for holding the doors open are required in connection with elevators of this type, neat swing catches are recommended. Barlock Interlocks — Doors shall be equipped with barlock interlocks, con¬ sisting of a latch rod mounted verti¬ cally on the door which engages a combination keeper and interlock at¬ tached to the hanger or door frame, locking the doors when in a fully closed position. Interlocks are arranged so that when any door is unlocked, the elevator control circuit through the interlock is opened, making it impossi¬ ble to move the elevator until the doors in that hatch are closed and mechanically locked. Latch rods may be had in polished or dull brass, or in a black finish. Keys for unlocking doors from the corridor side are usually provided for ground floor openings. Bar Locks —Doors shall be equipped with bar locks. These are similar to barlock interlocks, with the exception that interlock is not provided, the latch rod engaging a keeper mounted on the hanger or door frame instead. Gravity Locks —Doors shall be equipped with gravity locks of the mortise or surface type, consisting of a gravity operated latch attached to the door which engages a keeper applied to the hanger or door frame, locking the doors when in a fully closed position. Mortise locks are provided with cup escutche¬ ons or flush pulls on the shaft side. Cup escutcheons or flush pulls with handles are also provided for corridor side of both mortise and surface type locks when used with Push Button or Dual Control Elevators. provide proper clearance for the pulls to avoid the possibility of pinching the hand of person using the elevator. Handles and pulls are usually furnished in polished bronze. Mortise type locks are usually furnished in polished bronze, and surface type in a black finish, unless otherwise specified. Keys for unlocking doors from corridor side are ordinarily provided for ground floor openings, except when used with Push Button or Dual Control Eleva¬ tors. Latches —Doors shall be equipped with latches of either the mortise or surface type. These are usually furnished in polished bronze and are similar to gravity locks, with the exception that latch bar is operated by a small spring contained in the latch instead of by gravity. Door Handles or Flush Pulls —Doors shall be equipped with door handles, flush cup pulls or anti-pinch flush cup pulls on both sides to permit the open¬ ing of doors when car is at landing. Door handles are especially recom¬ mended for both sides of doors when equipped with door closers, as they provide a better grip for the hand, making it easier to open the doors. W here these are used, doors when in a full open position must project into the opening a suffiicent distance to Butt Hinges —Each swing door shall be equipped with not less than 1^2 pair of 43/2x43/2 or 5x5 ball bearing butt hinges with loose pins. These can be supplied in wrought steel, bronze or cast iron, and in a plated or polished finish. Flush Bolts — Each swing door shall be provided with a top and bottom flush bolt, and each sliding door with two flush bolts at the bottom to act as guides. These may be had in cast bronze or iron, and in a plated or polished finish. Sequence Relays — Sequence relays make it necessary for the operator to observe the proper sequence of operation: to first close the doors and then move the control switch to the starting position. If he fails to do so, the elevator will not start until control switch has been returned to the stop position after the doors are closed. Sequence relays are ordinarily included in the elevator contract. DUMBWAITER ENCLOSURES D UMBWAITER enclosures illustrated are of stand¬ ard construction and can be had in any width and height. Frames can be furnished in various profdes and to suit any wall thickness. Doors may be had in any design, with a choice of any of the mouldings shown among the types of doors and sash on pages 96 to 98. Any of the casings illustrated on pages 124 to 127 may be used instead of the profiles shown. Unless otherwise specified, pulleys, weights and chains are furnished with slide-up units. Enclosures for electrically operated dumbwaiters are constructed similar to those illustrated, except that provisions must be made for electrical equipment. - 12 GA. ■ ICLIP ANGLE.

Steel is of the highest grade commercial furniture stock of U. S. standard gauge. Workmanship —All work is executed by skilled mechanics and is of the finest grade; neat in appearance and free from defects. Doors (Metal Panel—Slide-up Type) —Panel mouldings are cold drawn to profile, and fitted to panels constructed of two 18 gauge steel plates separated by heat-retarding filler. Panel mould¬ ings are mitred and welded at corners, forming a continuous frame around panels. Stiles and rails are formed of 18 gauge steel and continuously interlocked to panel mouldings. Stiles are fitted to rails, reinforced and welded at joints. Stiffener channels extending full height are welded inside the doors in both sides. Compressed cork is provided in stiles and rails to eliminate metallic sound. Two rubber bumpers are secured in the bottom of each door. Doors (Metal Panel — Hinged Type) Hinged doors are constructed similar to slide-up type, except that stiffener channels extending full width are placed in top and bottom of doors. Rubber bumpers are not required. Doors (Flush—Slide-up Type) -Doors are constructed of two 18 gauge steel plates locked together with special interlocking members welded to plates. These members extend full height of doors and are spaced not more than 6" apart. Continuous reinforcements in top and bottom and stiffener channels in both sides are welded inside the doors. Compressed cork is provided in doors to eliminate metallic sound. Two rubber bumpers are secured in the bottom of each door. Doors (Flush- Hinged Type) —These are constructed the same as slide-up type, except that reinforcements are placed in both sides and channels in top and bottom of doors. Rubber bumpers are not required. Doors (Glass Panel Type) —Glass pan¬ els are retained by removable mould¬ ings which are secured to stationary mouldings with oval head machine screws. Mouldings are cold drawn to profde and are made into frames with corners mitred and welded. Stiles and rails are interlocked to stationary mouldings as described under “Metal Panel Type.'' When doors are “Flush Type,” sta¬ tionary mouldings are interlocked to plates in a similar manner. Glass— Glass, usually furnished by us, is set in rubber inserts and putty, and held in place by removable panel mouldings. Frames for Slide-up Doors (Combina¬ tion Buck and Jamb Type) — Frames and stools are formed of 14 or 16 gauge steel, welded at corners—with returns on stools mitred and welded. Side mem¬ bers are provided with weight boxes having removable covers for access to weights, and loose stops for holding doors in place. Two rubber door bump¬ ers are secured in the head of each frame. Single panel units have intermediate head pieces formed of 14 or 16 gauge steel welded to side members, and 16 or 18 gauge steel panels for backing up plaster. Panels are secured to head and side members by machine screws. Upper or fixed panels for double panel units are formed of 16 or 18 gauge steel, paneled to match doors, and secured to head and side members by machine screws. Dumbwaiters in series are provided with mullions formed of 14 or 16 gauge steel, having weight boxes with re¬ movable covers for access to weights, and loose stops for holding doors in place. Frames for Hinged Doors (Combina¬ tion Buck and Jamb Type) —Frames and stools are formed of 14 or 16 gauge steel, welded at corners — with returns on stools mitred and welded. Frames for Hinged Doors (Rough Buck and Cabinet Jamb Type) — Bucks are formed of 14 gauge steel, welded at corners. Jambs and stools, formed of 18 gauge steel, are secured to bucks by machine screws. Returns on stools are mitred and welded. Angle Supports —Frames are supported independent of the walls by two struc¬ tural steel angles secured to floors and beams above. Casings and Aprons — Casings and aprons are of 18 gauge cold drawn shapes with corners and returns mitred, welded, and secured to frames by con¬ cealed fastenings or oval head machine screws. Hardware — All work is mortised, rein¬ forced, drilled and tapped to receive hardware. When dumbwaiters are slide-up type, hardware consists of cast iron roller bearing side pulleys and sectional weights, steel or bronze cable chain, and flush or bar lifts. Hardware for hinged dumbwaiters con¬ sists of steel or bronze spring butt hinges, and catches or latches. When dumbwaiters are electrically operated, pulls are used instead of catches or latches. With exception of pulleys, weights and chains, hardware is usually included under separate contract, but applied at our factory. It is necessary that hardware be to templet, and that we be supplied with schedules and templets of hard¬ ware required for each opening before materials can be placed in production; as all mortising for hardware is done while steel is “flat.” Templets can be either blue print or physical. Where required, special provisions are made to accommodate equipment for electric dumbwaiters. Details giving locations, etc., of this equipment are required. Prime Finish (Doors) —Before assem¬ bling, metal panels are painted on the inside. After assembling, all oil, dirt and rust are removed. Doors are then thoroughly coated on the inside and outside with rust-resisting paint by a dip process, and baked. Exposed surfaces are filled where re¬ quired, each coat baked and sanded. Priming coat of paint is then applied and baked. Prime Finish (All Other Work)— After assembling, all oil, dirt and rust are removed. Exposed surfaces are filled where required, each coat baked and sanded. Priming coat of paint is then applied to all surfaces, both inside and outside, and baked. Plain Enamel Finish —Prime coat is thoroughly sanded, after which three coats of enamel — of a color as selected- are applied to all exposed surfaces. Each coat is baked and rubbed, the final coat being rubbed to an egg-shell gloss. Grained Finish —Prime coat is thor¬ oughly sanded, after which all exposed surfaces are hand grained to match sample selected, and then baked. Two coats of finishing varnish are then applied, each coat baked and rubbed, the final coat being rubbed to an egg¬ shell gloss. Crating— The finished products are sub¬ stantially crated to guard against dam¬ age in transit. Combination type frames, when fin¬ ished in baked enamel, are protected by oiled paper and crated individually. Crating is not removed until after walls have been plastered Erection —All work is erected plumb and true by skilled mechanics. Angle sup¬ ports and frames are set before walls are built. The doors, casings, etc., are erected after plastering has been com¬ pleted and the floors are broom clean.
