Hardware Catalogs & Publications
This page contains shopping cart links for the Catalogs and Publications issued by various manufacturers whose principal names fall in the range noted in the title of this page.  Each company produced American builder's hardware or related building materials, and a sample of the hardware by these manufacturers is shown in the slideshow above. You will be purchasing high-resolution digital copies of these catalogs for your use. Books and Catalogs are available for purchase as PDF downloads only.

Bibliographical information about books and catalogs are provided when known, including title (in italics), date of publication, pagination, and page size (height x width). Catalogs are complete unless otherwise noted. In most cases, PDFs are color scans of complete catalogs. Note: Downloads of these catalogs are sold with the understanding that they are for the personal or business use of those purchasing them, and are not for public distribution without permission from the ADCA.

A lower-resolution free Preview of selected pages from each catalog is available by clicking the "Catalog Preview" button and downloading or opening that PDF file. Each PDF includes the title page, index (if the catalog contains one), and several pages of designs, which will give you a sample of what the entire catalog contains.

Catalogs may be printed out in their entirety, in selected pages, or in close-ups of individual pieces. Different pages and items from different catalogs may be combined to create specific and unique compilations of targeted material—useful for writing articles or creating hunting lists of pieces in which you have a special interest. This expanded access to information will vastly improve your ability to retrieve and search for information.
