HARDWARE EVOLUTION

Architectural hardware is no longer just functional — it’s a critical design element shaping durability, aesthetics, and user experience in modern spaces.

Architectural hardware plays an important role in all buildings and everyone's daily lives, much more than is commonly realised.

THE SPECIFICS

Architectural hardware includes components such as door handles, locks, door closers, stoppers, hinges, and access control systems. These elements might seem minor at first glance, but they are the first point of physical interaction in any space — the first touchpoint when entering a building. “Their utility is constant and critical: ensuring smooth operation, providing security, and contributing to the overall aesthetic of interiors. It contributes to accessibility, acoustics, weather protection, aesthetics, functionality, security, fire safety, and energy efficiency — making it a key element in both design and performance across residential, commercial, and industrial projects,” says Ganesh Prabhu, Dip, Head, Specifications, Hafele India.
