PRE-INSTALLATIONShop Applied:Hinges • Locks • Latches • Exit Devices • Door Closers • Electrified ProductsLaForce contributes to both Lean construction and green practices through its pre-installation (shop applied) serviceby installing door hardware prior to doors being shipped to the job site. LaForce’s installers are able to catch manufac-turing or product defects and rectify them prior to the doors arriving at the project, making more efficient use of thetime taken on site to install the doors. Our shop applied process allows all packaging and scraps to be recycled ratherthan being left in the job site dumpster, which then goes to the landfill. As an added bonus, when door hardware isshop applied, the doors are delivered closer to the on-site installation date, thereby reducing chances the doors willbe damaged on the job site.

FIELD INSTALLATIONQualified & Professional Installers • On-site Field InstallationUsing our installers allows you to use one source for both material and labor. Our continuously trained hardware pro-fessionals install doors, frames, door hardware and specialty products at the jobsite in a timely, proficient manner.
