Commercial Door Hardware by Industry | 500,000+ SKUs In Stock

Q: Do I need different door hardware for different building types?

Yes. Each building type has specific code requirements that dictate what hardware you can use. Healthcare facilities need antimicrobial finishes and ligature-resistant trim. Schools need classroom function locks for lockdown protocols. Government buildings may require TAA-compliant products. Using the wrong hardware type is a code violation that can shut down a project.

Q: Can I use the same lock across all my facilities?

You can standardize on a platform like Schlage ND across all buildings because it covers almost every function. But you will need different functions, finishes, and accessories for each building type. A hotel needs privacy function with indicator. A bank branch needs storeroom function with high-security cylinders. Same lock platform, different configuration.

Q: Do you carry hardware for specialty applications like behavioral health or detention?

Yes. For behavioral health, Lock Depot stocks ligature-resistant trim and levers that eliminate grab points, critical for psychiatric units and memory care facilities. For detention-grade hardware, contact Lock Depot directly as those specs are highly project-specific.

The Facility Manager's Shortcut to the Right Spec

Every building type has its own set of headaches when it comes to door hardware. A hospital needs antimicrobial levers and ligature-resistant trim that won't harbor MRSA or give a behavioral health patient a grab point. A school district needs classroom function locks that a teacher can lock from inside during a lockdown without opening the door. A warehouse needs hardware that can take a forklift bump and still latch. Different problems, different hardware — and getting it wrong means a failed inspection, a code violation, or worse.

Lock Depot stocks over 500,000 SKUs from the brands that facility managers and locksmiths actually spec: Von Duprin exit devices, Schlage commercial locks, LCN closers, HES electric strikes, and dozens more. Everything ships same-day from distributor stock. No waiting on factory lead times, no back-orders on fire-rated hardware when you have an inspector coming Monday.

We organized our catalog by industry because a locksmith bidding a hospital job shouldn't have to wade through warehouse hardware to find what they need. Pick your building type below and you'll land on a page built specifically for your application — the right product types, the right compliance info, and the right cross-references to save you time on the spec sheet.

Why Locksmiths and Facility Managers Source From Lock Depot

Most commercial hardware distributors make you call for pricing, wait for stock checks, and wonder if the part you need is sitting in a warehouse 2,000 miles away. We built Lock Depot to fix that. Every product shows a real price — not "call for quote" — and ships same-day from distributor stock across four warehouses nationwide. When a facility manager in Phoenix needs a fire-rated Von Duprin exit device for a failed inspection, they can order it at 2 PM and it's on a truck by 5.

We carry the full commercial lines from the manufacturers that architects and specifiers actually write into their plans: Schlage ND and L Series cylindrical and mortise locks, Von Duprin 98/99 exit devices, LCN 4040XP closers, HES electric strikes, Securitron maglocks, Alarm Lock Trilogy keypads, Detex exit alarms, and everything in between. Over 500,000 SKUs — if it goes on a commercial door, we probably have it in stock.

Each industry page above was written by someone who has actually installed this hardware in that type of facility. You'll find the specific product types that apply to your building, the compliance standards you need to meet, cross-references between competing brands, and real pricing — not the runaround. Pick your industry and start speccing.

Pro-Tip: The "Spec Sheet Shortcut" for Multi-Building Projects

If you're speccing hardware across multiple building types — say a campus with a hospital, office tower, and parking structure — don't start from scratch on each one. Start with the strictest building (usually Healthcare) and work down. Hardware that passes Joint Commission and HCAHPS will meet or exceed code for retail and warehouse applications. You'll save yourself from over-speccing the easy buildings and under-speccing the hard ones. And if the project calls for master keying across all buildings, start the cylinder spec early — it drives everything else downstream.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need different door hardware for different building types?

Yes — and it goes way beyond picking a "nicer" lock for a hospital. Each building type has specific code requirements that dictate what hardware you can use. Healthcare facilities need antimicrobial finishes and ligature-resistant trim under Joint Commission rules. Schools need classroom function locks that meet lockdown protocols. Government buildings may require TAA-compliant products. Using the wrong hardware type isn't a bad spec — it's a code violation that can shut down a project.

What does "classroom function" mean on a lock?

Classroom function (BHMA function F84 or F85) means the lock can be locked and unlocked from the outside with a key, but the inside lever is always free for egress. The critical feature for school lockdowns is that a teacher can lock the door from inside without opening it or stepping into the hallway. The Schlage ND series with classroom function is the most commonly specced lock for this application.

How do I know if my hardware needs to be fire-rated?

If the door is in a fire-rated wall or corridor, every piece of hardware on that door — the lock, closer, exit device, and hinges — must be fire-rated and listed for that assembly. Fire-rated hardware is tested to UL 10C and carries a label. The most common mistake on industrial and healthcare jobs is using non-rated closers on fire doors — the inspector will catch it every time. Look for the "F" designation on exit devices (e.g., Von Duprin F99 vs 99) and confirm the closer is UL listed for the door rating.

What's the difference between ADA and non-ADA door hardware?

ADA-compliant hardware must be operable with one hand, without tight grasping, pinching, or twisting, and with no more than 5 lbs of force. In practice, this means lever handles instead of knobs, push bars instead of latches, and closers set to the correct opening force. Every public building needs ADA-compliant hardware on accessible routes — which is most doors in most commercial buildings. This applies across all industries, from retail storefronts to houses of worship.

Can I use the same lock across all my facilities?

You can standardize on a platform — many facility managers use Schlage ND across all their buildings because it covers almost every function from passage to storeroom to classroom. But you'll need different functions, finishes, and accessories for each building type. A hotel needs privacy function with indicator. A bank branch needs storeroom function with high-security cylinders. Same lock platform, different configuration. That's the advantage of speccing a series with a wide function range.

Do you carry hardware for specialty applications like behavioral health or detention?

Yes. For behavioral health, we stock ligature-resistant trim and levers that eliminate grab points — critical for psychiatric units and memory care facilities. For detention-grade hardware, contact us directly. Those specs are highly project-specific and usually require coordination with the hardware consultant and the detention equipment supplier.
