2.3.2
Pivots
**************************************************************************
NOTE: For extra heavy doors, pivots are sometimes
preferable to hinges, particularly on entrance doors
and lead-lined doors. See BHMA A156.4 and
manufacturers' literature for types available.
**************************************************************************
BHMA A156.4.
2.3.3
Spring Hinges
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Use spring hinges only where closers are not
practicable and for gates at counters. Ensure that
specified spring hinges are large enough and strong
enough to serve their purpose adequately.
See BHMA
A156.17 for types available. See manufacturers
catalogs for recommendations on sizes, quantities,
and styles of spring hinges.

2.3.4
Locks and Latches
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Specify Series 1000, in paragraph entitled
"Mortise Locks and Latches," for hollow metal doors
where security is a major factor. See BHMA A156.13,
Appendix A, Users' Guide, for guidance on Security
Grades.
For Bachelor Enlisted Quarters (BEQ) sleeping room
doors, use heavy-duty pushbutton combination locks
with keyed cylinder bypass (such as Simplex
Securities Systems, Inc., Unican 1000 series); Grade
1 mortise locks (Series 1000), function F13, with
removable-core cylinders; or a deadbolt, E2151, with
interchangeable core and a latchset, F75. Check
with activity housing managers to determine
preference.
For doors between sleeping room and shared bath, use
a privacy lock, F76, Grade 1, and a deadlock, E0151
(key x thumbturn) keyed like the sleeping room
entrance door and with the key on the bathroom side.
