APV’s certified technicians apply all working hardware to the door slabs in our modern facility in Ashland.

Pre-Installation of door hardware eliminates many of the typical on-site installation challenges while allowing the doors to be installed much later in the construction process, thereby minimizing damage to the doors. We encourage any and all constituents to visit the 10,000 square feet we’ve devoted to pre-installation. Seeing is truly believing!

Advantages of Pre-Installed Door Hardware:

• Doors are delivered labeled and palletized by location and ready to be hung.
• Reduces time on site by up to 75%.
• Allows for doors to be installed later in the construction cycle after completion of other finish trades reducing opportunity for damage.
• Doors can be hung in less than 10 min per door, saving time and money.
• Problems are identified and corrected before they ever hit the jobsite.
• Hardware isn’t lost, damaged or stolen on site.
• Less packaging and waste to be thrown away on the jobsite.
• Electrified hardware is tested and certified before it arrives on the jobsite.

Customer Testimonials

“We will never purchase doors again without the hardware already installed.”
– Local Contractor purchasing doors at APV counter (October, 2023).

“We had no idea the doors would go up so fast.  We had to adjust our schedule as APV was running over our other subs.  We get it now.”
– GC Superintendent (April, 2024)

“The only thing I would have done differently is have the doors delivered later in the schedule.  The speed of installation on site is remarkable.”
– GC Project Manager (August, 2024)

“After touring the APV facility and seeing how these doors are assembled, we will be purchasing all of our doors in the future with the hardware attached.”
– GC Superintendent (November, 2024)
