Submittal Verification
Verification of products submitted for use on commercial buildings can be a
confusing and time consuming process. With the constant changes occurring in
building codes and product lines, verification that submitted products comply with
a specification requires services of a commercial openings expert. Incorrectly
approved products can lead to costly replacements, delayed completion and
fire/life safety code violations. ASG consultants will review any commercial
openings submittal to ensure that you and your client receive the products that
comply with those outlined in the specification. This service is provided with all
projects specified by ASG. It is also available for those projects specified by
alternate sources.
Installation, Maintenance and Architectural Training
Improper installation of door and hardware products accounts for the majority of
all failures on a project. ASG offers installation and maintenance training for
product lines we represent. This training is available to contractors, owners and
architects and can be tailored for your specific needs. Seminars are held
periodically throughout the territory covered by ASG, or can be conducted on
location if required.
ASG offers programs and seminars that are tailored for the specific needs of a
particular client. Our Installation and Maintenance Training Programs are
developed with end-user/maintenance personnel in mind. How to properly adjust
a door closer, re-hand a mortise lock or what type of hardware might be used for
a particular troublesome opening are just some of the items that might be covered
in this type of program. We also touch on new products specifically developed
for your industry or application.
Our Architectural Training Seminars are comprehensive in nature. They
communicate industry information that is valuable to the experienced architect as
well as the novice intern. Basic product information, latest building codes,
applications, and specification issues, as well as the latest product developments
in the industry are covered in this type of seminar.
