Vision:
Preserve the historical door design but update the door hardware to meet modern hurricane code standards
Challenge:
Over 100 sets of historical doors need to be able to sustain hurricane-level winds. With 4 weeks until occupancy, the general contractor realized that the existing door handles would not meet the design, code, or functionality requirements.
Solution:
The Artisan Hardware team flew to Miami to meet with the contractors and owner’s representatives team to review the doors and inconsistencies among them.
- Door handles were delivered within 3 weeks of approval
- A custom finish was created to match the owner’s vision
Team:
CNC machinists
Custom plating facility
Process:
- Met onsite with the contractor and owner’s rep team to assess the site and door conditions
- Analyzed the unique discrepancies from one door to the next, which presented a challenge with creating a consistent aesthetic across all doors
- Met and consulted with our machinists and finishing shop to ensure consistency
- Created a special finish to match what the owner envisioned
- Submitted presentation
- Within 3 weeks of approval, Artisan hardware supplied and delivered the completed door handles on site
