Slim strike plate
Zero International, Bronx, NY Circle 67
Model 0563 Rim Strike is a slim, adjustable 1/2-in. plate for tight-fitting installations. The surface-mount strike needs no frame cutting for installation and works with Pullman latch-rim exit devices and reportedly most doorframe materials. The low-energy, auto-sensing device runs cool and includes two 1/8-in. spacers to create two additional sizes, 5/8 and 3/4 in. Made of stainless steel, a field-selectable, dual-mode feature allows installers to select fail-safe or fail-secure modes. The plate works with right- and left-hand doors. Rutherford Controls, a DORMA Company, Cambridge, Ontario Circle 68
Expanded color line Fire-rated glass ceramic
Keralite Select fire-resistant glass combines surface-polishing technology and advanced composition to create what is said to be the sharpest, most accurate color-viewing glass ceramic in its class. With a CRI of 97.1 and a low-haze value of 0.5%, the surface does not have the orange-peel effect common with standard fire-rated glass ceramics. The glass is available in 20-, 45-, 60-, 90-, and 180-min. fire ratings. Vetrotech Saint-Gobain, Valley Forge, PA Circle 69
