You’ve had a panic device flagged at inspection for the wrong occupancy. You’ve inherited a keying schedule nobody can make sense of. You’ve tried to coordinate electrified hardware with the fire alarm and hit a wall. Security and egress hardware is where a lot of commercial openings go sideways, because the code and the security need both have to be satisfied by the same door. Steel Krafts supplies and specs that hardware as one coordinated package. Call (518) 274-8052 to start a bid package.

Signs You Need an Industrial Equipment Supplier

You need a specialized security hardware supplier, not a general counter, the moment your openings involve exit devices, electronic access control, or a keying system that has to be planned rather than pieced together. That’s most commercial work: schools, government buildings, medical facilities, and apartment complexes with controlled entries.

Here are the signs. A door has a lock or latch but serves an occupancy that requires panic hardware. Your access control has to tie into the fire alarm and release on egress. Your electrified hardware needs to coordinate with life safety without leaving anyone locked in. Your facility has no coherent master key plan, or the existing one has broken down over years of rekeying. Or the local counter simply can’t source or spec commercial-grade security hardware at the scale the project needs.

Exit hardware alone trips up plenty of projects. According to the International Code Council, doors serving a high-hazard occupancy and doors serving rooms with an occupant load of 50 or more in an assembly or educational occupancy must not carry any lock or latch other than panic hardware or fire exit hardware. Put the wrong device on that door and it fails.

Troy and the surrounding Capital Region are in an active commercial building cycle, with new schools, housing, and mixed-use projects all needing controlled, code-compliant openings. Sourcing security hardware piecemeal invites the wrong device, a keying mess, or a security setup that quietly breaks egress compliance. A supplier that specs the whole package gets it right.

Our Industrial Equipment Supplier Services

The foundation is complete hardware sourcing. Our Architectural Hardware Supply covers the full finish hardware complement for your openings, coordinated to the doors, frames, and codes on your project rather than pulled off a shelf and hoped to fit.

Egress and locking are where code and security meet. Our Panic Bar & Exit Devices supply the exit hardware that occupancy and life safety codes require on the right openings, and our Commercial Locksets & Cylinders provide the lock functions each door actually needs, from storeroom to classroom to office, keyed into your overall plan.

Electronic security adds another layer that has to stay code-legal. Our Access Control Hardware Supply sources the readers, strikes, and controllers that secure controlled entries, and our Electrified Door Hardware supplies the electrified locks and devices that coordinate access control with fire alarm and egress requirements, so a secured door still releases when it has to.

Finally, keying ties the whole facility together. Our Master Key System Design plans a logical hierarchy of keys and cylinders so the right people reach the right doors, without the sprawl and lost security that come from years of uncoordinated rekeying. Every item across these services is pulled from premium, industry-leading brands and coordinated to the rest of your hardware.

Troy is in an active commercial building cycle. Downtown redevelopment is underway, including the $67 million John P. Taylor Apartments, a seven-story mixed-use development adding 141 affordable units on a long-vacant waterfront site. Projects like these run through the City of Troy’s Code Enforcement office, where the Director of Code Enforcement reviews permit applications for new construction, additions, and substantial improvements. Controlled and egress openings in schools, government buildings, medical facilities, and housing all fall under that review, and the security and life safety hardware gets scrutinized. Sourcing exit devices, locks, access control, and keying as one coordinated package keeps those openings moving through inspection. We supply contractors, architects, and project managers across Troy, Albany, and Syracuse, NY.

Steel Krafts Frequently Asked Questions

When is panic hardware required on a commercial door?

It depends on the occupancy and occupant load. According to the International Code Council, doors serving a high-hazard occupancy and doors serving assembly or educational spaces with an occupant load of 50 or more must not have a lock or latch other than panic hardware or fire exit hardware. Our licensed AHC checks each opening against the applicable code. Call (518) 274-8052 to review your project.

What's the difference between panic hardware and fire exit hardware?

Both provide single-motion egress, but fire exit hardware additionally carries a fire listing for use on rated door assemblies. Standard panic hardware can be dogged to stay unlatched, while fire exit hardware must positively latch when the door closes. Our AHC confirms which one belongs on each opening based on its rating and use.

Can you design a master key system for our facility?

Yes. Our master key system design plans a logical hierarchy of keys and cylinders so access maps to how your building actually operates, which departments and staff reach which doors. A planned system avoids the security gaps and duplicate-key sprawl that build up when a facility is rekeyed piecemeal over the years.

Does electrified hardware have to coordinate with the fire alarm?

In most cases, yes. Electrified locks and access control on egress openings generally have to release on a fire alarm signal so occupants are never locked in during an emergency. Our team accounts for that coordination when specifying electrified door hardware, so the opening stays both secure and code-compliant for egress.

Are you an authorized distributor for the brands we need to spec?

Yes. We’re an authorized distributor of premium, industry-leading brands, including ASSA ABLOY, which covers the exit devices, locksets, cylinders, and electrified hardware that specifications commonly call for. That authorized status is a manufacturer-granted credential that not every reseller holds, and it matters when a spec names a specific product line.

Don't Let a Security Opening Fail Inspection

The wrong exit device on a high-occupancy door, access control that doesn’t release on alarm, or a keying plan that never got designed can each stall a project at inspection or leave a building less secure than it should be. The longer these go unresolved, the more expensive they are to fix after install. Source the whole package from one supplier that specs it to code. Call (518) 274-8052 for a free bid package.
