Doing the job over

OU’D be surprised to know that a large percentage of our volume is in replacements.
Scarcely a day passes that one or more of our service branches are not called on to tell somebody what to do with doors that won’t work.
In nearly every case, the trouble is that somebody — builder, architect, owner; generally owner—“saved money” on
cheap door-hardware; and the result is that the job has to be done over. A door that’s improperly equipped doesn’t work; and a door that doesn’t work is worse than no door at all.
“Doing the job over” is a costly operation; hardware too light for the work; or made to sell at a price; or mistakenly designed for its duty. The right thing even at a higher price would have cost less in the end.
Richards-Wilcox doorway engineers will show you how to avoid all this, if you ask them. Their service is free; but it is worth money to you.
