It’s not enough anymore to have a “green” building. It’s now all about “high-performance buildings.” But what does that mean?

It has become the latest direction in how we need to think when designing new and redesigning existing buildings. And it goes beyond just “green” and/or LEED-certified. The trend is now to develop building components and systems to interact better with each other.

Are your fire doors up to code? If they're even a few years old, they may not be. And inspections are coming soon.

One of the tragic ways patients, inmates or students seriously harm themselves is by hanging from objects hooked over door hardware. To help facilities make their doors safer, SELECT invented the TIPIT® ligature-resistant hospital tip. This low-cost, angle-cut tip covers the top surface of most brands of geared continuous door hinges so objects can't be hung over them. Recently, our inventor Timothy A. Schau, was awarded U.S. Patent Number 8,898,861 for his innovative design.

"I wish every company we dealt with were like you." I hear this, or something to that effect, at least once a week. I don't say that to brag, it's just that bad customer service seems to be more common than not in this business. So why does it happen? Because delivering great customer service is hard to do on a daily basis. But it can be easier if you recognize the signs of bad customer service.
