Visiting a manufacturer's exhibition booth offers advantages that catalogues and websites cannot replicate. For commercial door hardware buyers specifically, here is what makes a Keyman booth visit worthwhile:
Touch and test certified products — Physically evaluate latch operation, lever action, finish quality, and build weight before committing to a purchase.
Verify certifications in person — Keyman holds ANSI, UL, CE, and fire-rating certifications. Exhibition staff can walk you through the specific certification documentation relevant to your project's compliance requirements.
Discuss OEM and customization options — Keyman offers product and component research and development customization. Exhibitions are an efficient setting to outline project-specific requirements directly with technical staff.
Compare product lines side by side — With mechanical, electrified, and electronic solutions on display simultaneously, buyers can assess which hardware category fits their project without back-and-forth correspondence.
Establish direct supplier contact — Building a direct relationship with a manufacturer at a trade show accelerates the quoting and sampling process significantly.
Arriving at a hardware exhibition with a clear plan allows you to gather more useful information in less time. Before visiting Keyman's booth, consider the following:
Identify your project specifications — Know your door type, traffic volume, compliance standards (ANSI, EN, UL), and whether electrified or electronic access is required.
List the certifications your project requires — Keyman's products cover ANSI Grade 1, UL fire-rated, CE, and EN standards. Knowing which apply to your project helps narrow down which products to evaluate.
Prepare your questions — Ask about lead times, minimum order quantities, OEM customization, and pricing tiers for volume orders.
Request samples or catalogs on-site — Keyman's team can provide product literature and direct you to the right contact for follow-up inquiries.
Note the booth number in advance — Check Keyman's Exhibition page before attending to confirm booth location details.

Q: What is the difference between Keyman's ANSI and EN-certified locks?
ANSI-certified Keyman locks (such as the M7 Mortise Lock series) are better suited for North American commercial projects requiring compliance with ANSI/BHMA A156.13 and UL fire ratings. EN-certified locks (such as the M5 Euro Mortice Lock) are designed for European projects requiring EN 12209 Grade 3 compliance and EN 1634-1 fire ratings. Both lines are available for international buyers; the right choice depends on the compliance standards mandated by the project's jurisdiction.
