(SEE GENERAL CONDITIONS)
=NOTE.=—Under the head of _General Conditions_ preceding all
specifications furnished to contractors by the architect, a series of
binding requirements, reservations, and stipulations are specifically
stated, and it is most essential that the contractor carefully peruse
them, as he is bound by them as well as by the clauses under the
heading of Hardware Specifications.
=122. Rough Hardware.=—Provide all the rough hardware, such as nails,
screws, sash weights, pulleys, chain or cord, anchors, screw bolts, and
all other material in this line necessary for the completion of the
operation.
=123. Finishing, or Builders’, Hardware.=—All fastenings and metal
trimmings used on doors, windows, transoms, closets, cabinets,
pantries, etc. will be furnished by the owner and delivered at the
building in the quantities and at the times reasonably needed by
the contractor, he to apply the same under the direction and to the
satisfaction of the architect.
The contractor is to be responsible for all hardware after delivery and
until the completion of the building. He shall hang all doors, properly
fit all locks, etc., and return them to their original packages until
after completion of the painting or finishing, when he shall place them
permanently. All knobs shall be covered with Canton flannel, to protect
them from injury, and all keys are to be cared for until the building
is delivered to the owner. The contractor shall place all keys in their
locks or deliver them to the architect with tags attached, indicating
where they belong.
The contractor shall furnish the manufacturer or dealer furnishing the
hardware with details of woodwork or information that may be necessary
in order to understand the requirements and to harmonize the hardware
with the cabinetwork, and, where interferences are discovered, to have
them adjusted before the hardware is delivered.
