Door Hardware Fabrication
Precision Door Hardware Fabrication That Keeps Your Projects Moving
From hardware review and value engineering to precision CNC machining, installation, testing, and delivery, Horizon simplifies aluminum entrance fabrication so your crews can stay focused on glazing and installation. Our process reduces costly field delays, minimizes punch-list issues, and helps your team exit projects faster.
Hardware Challenges Shouldn’t Slow Your Team Down
Storefront and curtain wall installation is what your team does best, but aluminum entrances and door hardware introduce an entirely different layer of complexity. Hardware compatibility, door construction restrictions, life-safety requirements, electrified openings, fitment conflicts, and brand-specific limitations can quickly turn a straightforward install into a costly field issue.
Last-minute hardware conflicts, missing preps, incorrect applications, or components that interfere with one another can slow your installers down, drive up onsite labor costs, and create punch-list items that delay project closeout.
Horizon removes that burden before it ever reaches the field. We review hardware schedules, door and frame specifications, application requirements, and potential conflicts early in the process so your team spends less time troubleshooting openings onsite and more time doing what they do best — setting doors, glazing, and moving the project forward.
Our 6-Step Fabrication Process
Every project moves faster when the process is clear from the start. Our fabrication workflow is designed to reduce rework, catch conflicts before they reach the field, and keep your schedule moving with fewer surprises. From initial review through final delivery, each step is built to improve accuracy, shorten installation time, and give your team confidence that the finished openings will perform as intended.

Built To Work the First Time
When Horizon supplies the hardware, application review, and fabrication, our objective is simple: your team should only need to hang the door and glaze it. Every opening is machined to tight tolerances, assembled with the specified hardware, and tested before it leaves our facility so that it performs as intended once installed in the field.
We install and adjust mechanical hardware in-house, wire and label applicable electronic components, and verify function prior to delivery. That means fewer field adjustments, fewer punch-list issues, and less time spent troubleshooting openings after the frames are set.
Our commitment is built on quality, durability, and practical experience. If something is not performing as expected, our team stands behind the work and responds quickly to make it right. The result is a finished product your installers can trust and a smoother closeout for your project.
