Window & Door Design
Understand automatic hardware selection
What this does
Explains how handles, hinges and locking parts are chosen for each sash — from rules, not typed per order.
Before you start
- The window has its sashes and profile series set.
Steps
-
01
Each sash is measured and weighed from the drawing.
-
02
The hardware brand and series configured for the profile system select a matching set.
-
03
Rules pick sizes — hinge count by weight, locking points by sash height.
-
04
Review the accessories list on the order line; override only the exceptions.
Common mistakes
- Overriding hardware line by line for a whole project — if every order needs the same change, the rule set should change instead; ask your administrator.
