Summary:

"The opening chapters discuss in detail six systems for writing the Hardware Specification and the basis for choosing the one most appropriate. In each case the specification is complete, competitive, reasonably restrictive, protective for the architect, and brief. [...] Then follow chapters cataloging in detail the various hardware items - hinges, latches, locks, door-closing devices, door stops, window hardware, push bars, pull bars, thresholds, and many others."--Book jacket.
