The practice
A desk that has been open more than 35 years.
Architectural Specifications Consultants is one of the oldest door hardware specification practices in the nation. Independent by design, and built to serve firms of every size.
The standard
Every line traces to something.
The practice was founded on a standard it still runs on: every line in a specification traces to a standard, a code requirement, or a decision someone owns. Behind that sits decades of hardware depth across Division 08 and the coordination work that surrounds it.
The work
Written in house, start to finish.
ASC writes the specifications and works directly with design teams. Consults, hardware sets, submittal review, substitution requests, and the keying meeting nobody wants to schedule and everybody needs.
How ASC works
Three things that do not move.
Independent by design.
No factory-direct ties, which keeps recommendations open to competitive bid.
Product-neutral in public.
Editorial writing stays product-neutral. The guide spec service for manufacturers is offered openly and separately.
Built for firms of every size.
The same desk, the same standard, whether the project is a single renovation or a tower.
