Commercial Door Hardware Certification Test

This course is a joint UBC/ National Door & Hardware Institute recognized battery of certification tests to evaluate the competent installation of a variety of product specific name brands of hardware. Testing will evaluate previous knowledge to apply the correct hardware installation techniques for specific products. Observing relevant building and fire codes is crucial. Members who have extensive experience working with hardware or Members who have taken the Commercial Door Hardware class are encouraged to access these certification opportunities. Individual product tests (ie. Modules) will be conducted over a timed period to gage successful installation techniques recommended and warranted by the “product specific” manufacturer. These modules will include, but are not limited to the following devices: surface mounted vertical rod and concealed vertical rod, coordinators, hydraulic closers, cylindrical and mortise locks, hold-opens and more. Evaluations will be conducted on both metal and wooden doors to test the participant's knowledge and skill level. Safety and craftsman like workmanship will also be observed.
