FSB Specification Service

The perfect door from a single provider

BSW, CES, FSB, Norseal and Woelm (HELM Sliding hard­ware) are five com­pa­nies steeped in tra­di­tion with a shared vision and a shared aim: to offer our cus­tomers every door-re­lated product from a single source – made in Germany and per­fectly co­or­di­nated both in the tech­nol­ogy they use and the ma­te­ri­als they are made from. With the com­pli­men­tary Spec Writing Service, we supply product con­sul­tancy and door plan­ning to provide pro­fes­sional support to ar­chi­tects, de­sign­ers and plan­ners under the aspect of in­ter­na­tional build­ing reg­u­la­tions.

Five brands. One vision. Made in Germany.

Our syn­er­gies are your ad­van­tage. With our package prod­ucts you are always safe and secure, and you benefit from fan­tas­tic prices and guar­an­tees. The ties between our brands are clear to see. We know what com­mer­cial and public build­ings need and we use our com­bined ex­per­tise to benefit our cus­tomers. This has nat­u­rally led to our shared spec­i­fi­ca­tion service, which takes a load of the work off of your shoul­ders.

Spec­i­fi­ca­tion service

Re­quire­ments for spec­i­fi­ca­tions do vary by project type, by ar­chi­tect and by global lo­ca­tion. We are struc­tured to react to the dif­fer­ing re­quire­ments using a custom soft­ware program com­bined with an in­ter­ac­tive web-based com­mu­ni­ca­tion tool. We supply product con­sul­tancy and door plan­ning to provide pro­fes­sional support to ar­chi­tects and plan­ners under the aspect of in­ter­na­tional build­ing reg­u­la­tions.

The benefits of the specification service

"The man­u­fac­turer’s ability to cus­tomise the design of the hard­ware, as per our re­quire­ment, was the most com­pelling aspect of this co­op­er­a­tion. Firstly, a mockup was done to see the design first-hand and be able to touch and feel the grip of the handle."

1. Check

First of all, we check the ar­chi­tec­tural plans, door el­e­va­tions, door sched­ules, and details – and we want to know every­thing about the design and the aes­thetic vision.

2. Feed

Then we feed our unique soft­ware tool with all the Ar­chi­tect's door sched­ule in­for­ma­tion. We review the floor­plans to un­der­stand the exit plans, elec­tronic hard­ware re­quire­ments, and es­sen­tial aes­thetic re­quire­ments.

3. Finish

At last, we sys­tem­at­i­cally review all of the door and window open­ings and apply the correct com­bi­na­tion of prod­ucts that form the hard­ware group­ings.

5 potent brands for your doors

In­tro­duc­tion of part­ners
BSW, CES, FSB, Norseal and Woelm (HELM Sliding hard­ware) are five com­pa­nies steeped in tra­di­tion with a shared vision and a shared aim.

This free spec writing service is aimed at architects, planners, and designers.

As a premium door hard­ware man­u­fac­turer, FSB offers com­plete spec­i­fi­ca­tion ser­vices for door hard­ware for premium pro­jects at no cost to the project. Our spec writing process con­tains four steps from the initial project in­for­ma­tion and aes­thetic vision to the soft­ware-based spec­i­fi­ca­tions and the for­mu­la­tion of the hard­ware group­ings. This service is a must for ar­chi­tects, plan­ners, and de­sign­ers. Ex­pe­ri­ence a webcast with tech­nol­ogy at highest level. We present so­lu­tions with an un­par­al­leled sense for the aes­thetic of func­tion­al­ity.

FSB and the courage for aes­thet­ics in their func­tional form.

A handle is never just a handle. A door handle, a window handle or a lever handle are always a com­mit­ment to a clearly defined design lan­guage. This con­fes­sion re­quires courage. Courage to be con­sis­tent. Courage to design. Courage to detail. Courage for sus­tain­abil­ity. FSB has this courage for per­fec­tion. For 140 years.

That’s the way you get specs written.

Door hard­ware spec­i­fi­ca­tions may differ from country to country as well as from build­ing to build­ing. Every build­ing has dif­fer­ent func­tional re­quire­ments to fulfill, and these are also mir­rored in our door-plan­ning process.

We un­der­take this complex process and ensure that the design, as well as the surface finish of the product, is co­her­ent to achieve your aes­thetic vision.

Realize your project.
Wher­ever you live, what­ever you are plan­ning – FSB has your back.
