Wherever possible it is highly recommended that
self-closing hinges be utilized to eliminate the
need for door catches, latches, or magnets which
require constant adjustment and have a high failure
rate after extended use.
**************************************************************************
a.
Door Hinges:
[_____] type, BHMA No. [_____].
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Cabinet pulls come in a wide variety of
styles, finishes, and sizes many of which do not fit
a BHMA category. Where a BHMA number is not
appropriate, provide a detailed description and
commercial model number for reference.
**************************************************************************
b.
Cabinet Pulls:
[_____] type, BHMA No. [_____].
**************************************************************************
NOTE: For drawer stability, superior support,
durability, and maximum load capability, only side
mounted hinges should be specified. Full extension
slides provide maximum utilization of drawer space
and aid in cleaning.
Bottom or top center-mounted slides should only be
specified where side clearance precludes the use of
side-mounted slides.
**************************************************************************
c. Drawer Slide: Side mounted [_____] type, BHMA No. [_____] with
[full] [_____] extension and a minimum [34kg 75 pound] [45kg 100 pound]
[_____] load capacity. Slides shall include an [integral] [positive]
stop to avoid accidental drawer removal.
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Two methods for shelf support are approved by
AWI. For premium grade AWI requires recessed
(mortised) metal shelf standards with snap-in metal
clips or multiple drilled holes with metal shelf
rests. AWI custom grade allows only multiple
drilled holes with shelf rests. Either system is
satisfactory depending on the specifier's
requirements. Surface mounted metal standards are
not approved under AWI premium and custom grades.
Specifier shall choose a method from those shown
below or permit contractor option.
**************************************************************************
d.
Adjustable Shelf Support System:
1) Recessed (mortised) metal standards, BHMA No. BO4071, finish:
[_____]. Support clips for the standards shall be [open type, BHMA No.
B04091] [closed type, BHMA No. B04081], finish: [_____] or
2) Multiple holes with [metal] [plastic] [wood] pin supports.
