Detailed Description

This increased building construction has resulted in increased production of doors and door hardware. Door hardware is an essential component that makes any board or plank into a usable and functional door, and as a result, there is an increasing demand for the door hardware market on a global scale. Metal hardware industries are well developed and matured currently, having great designs and functionality. On the other hand, when it comes to plastic hardware, it remains the same over the years. This project tries to create a system to leverage the plastic hardware, especially for PVC/UPVC doors that are primarily used for lavatory spaces and temporary installations of enclosures. And also, the main objective of this project is to create an integrated system for hardware designs that should be easily manufactured at the same time as being compliant. The ideations were mainly driven by factors like creating the hardware with a smaller number of parts, easy to assemble, and positively impacting user kinematics.
