Door & Hardware Federation - Best practice guidance online from
DHF
Almost 5,000 codes of practice and best practice
guides were downloaded from the Door & Hardware
Federation (DHF) website www.dhfonline.org.uk in a
single month.
This is a record total since the federation began making
its definitive guides available online. Over previous
months, around 3,000 guides a month on average have been
downloaded by members of the DHF and by architects,
specifiers and property professionals.
Said DHF chief executive Ian Wood: “We have developed an
extensive library of publications which give vital
guidance on the correct specification of our members’
products and services. They are for the benefit of
architects, specifiers, builders, buildings & facilities
managers, building control officers and anyone involved
in the specification of industrial and commercial doors
and shutters, hardware and domestic garage doors.
“In the members only section of the website, there are
many guidance documents for use exclusively by our
members. These ensure member companies provide fit for
purpose products which comply with the standards and
other legislation and that our members follow the good
practice principles laid down by the federation.”
In the latest “top ten downloads” the DHF Code of
Practice for purchasers and specifiers of domestic
garage doors and garage door operators proved to be the
most popular, with more than 1,500 copies being
downloaded in a single month.
It gives guidance on best practice in the design,
manufacture and installation of garage doors in order to
satisfy regulations and other requirements. It covers
all the issues which need to be considered during the
selection, specification and installation process of
garage doors. These include guidelines on the mechanical
aspects and requirements for garage doors under the
Standard BS EN 12604.
All the relevant safety requirements for power operated
domestic garage doors required by law to safeguard
against risk are listed in the Code of Practice,
including installation procedures that have Machinery
Directive and CE marking implications.
