Our Innovation
Pre-Installation

Himmel's Architectural Door & Hardware was built on Max Himmel’s passion for innovation and bettering product for customer use. In that spirit, Himmel’s cutting-edge Pre-Installation services ensure that the majority of our door hardware can be installed and QA/QC, or quality assurance, checked before ever leaving our facility. This procedure is so important to our process that everyone is trained to run the test, including Himmel’s engineers, specialists, project managers, consultants, and sales representatives.

Benefits of

Pre-Installed Hardware

Our ideology is hyper-focused on anticipation to prevent any issue before it transpires and the process as senseless as possible for our valued clients.
