A dealer that ships from distributor warehouses
Latchford Hardware LLC supplies commercial door hardware to contractors and facilities. We identify the exact part, quote within one business day, and ship from US distributor stock at the warehouse nearest the job.
We supply commercial door hardware for property managers, facility teams, schools, churches, contractors and locksmiths in the contiguous United States: exit devices, door closers, cylindrical and mortise locksets, electrified hardware, hinges and pivots, thresholds and seals, and the accessories that go with them, in ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and Grade 2. The work is replacement, retrofit and refresh on existing openings, plus new doors priced from the buyer’s own hardware list.
With no stock to manage, we put the work into identifying what is already on the door and specifying the correct replacement, which is where replacement orders go wrong. Handing, function, grade, backset and finish are where a replacement order fails. Every quote states them, and a handed, keyed or electrified item is not ordered until you confirm handing, finish, keying and voltage in writing. The quote is the record we work from: what it states is what we order and what ships.
From inquiry to delivery in four steps
Step 3, written confirmation, stops a handed or keyed part arriving wrong.
- 01Send what you haveA photo of the failed part and the door it sits on, a part number, or a door list. Plus the ship-to ZIP. No account, no minimum order.
- 02We identify and quoteWithin one business day: part number, grade, finish, price and lead time.
- 03You confirm in writingHanded, keyed, keyed-alike, cut-key and voltage-selected items are ordered only after you confirm handing, finish, keying and voltage by email. Non-handed, non-keyed items skip this step.
- 04Paid, shipped, trackedPrepaid, using the payment options on your quote. Stocked lines ship the same or next business day from the distributor warehouse, special orders on their quoted lead time; tracking on every box.
What we do and what we do not
We do
- Replacement and retrofit on existing openings, in Grade 1 and Grade 2.
- Identification from a photo, when the part number is long gone.
- Keyed alike across a group of doors or a whole portfolio, through the quote channel.
- Door-list pricing for multi-door jobs, one hardware set specified per opening.
- New doors from your hardware list, on jobs with no hardware specification.
- Property specifications kept on file, so a repeat order does not repeat the conversation.
We do not
- Hardware designed from plans, or a specification that requires an architectural hardware consultant, a local warehouse or factory authorization.
- Public or municipal bids.
- Net terms or trade credit. Every order is prepaid.
- Code consulting.
- Consumer smart locks that need an app or wifi, or barricade devices that defeat egress.
- Access control systems, automatic operators, cameras or intercoms.
We name what our distributors can ship
The brands on this site are the 20 in our catalog of about 7,400 part numbers, every one from a line our distributors carry, and no others. Some lines from most of those brands are stocked and ship the same or next business day once paid; most items are special order from the manufacturer, so every item is quoted with its lead time. Where a manufacturer sets a minimum advertised price, any price we show is at or above it, and some of those products are quoted instead. A few makers require written authorization before their prices can be shown online, so we do not list or price those lines on this site. We can quote them on request.
A short list with an honest status against every name beats a long one padded with brands we could not ship. The full list, with what we supply from each brand and whether any of it is stocked, is at Brands we supply.
What we will and will not tell you
We supply listed hardware and confirm in writing the part number and options you have chosen. We are not code consultants; your Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) makes the final call.
We will tell you what a product is listed for and what its specification sheet says: grade, fire rating, whether it is panic hardware, whether a closer is listed for a fire door. Whether an installation meets fire, egress or accessibility code in your building is decided by the AHJ, every time. If a question is a code question, we say so and suggest you take it to them before you order.
