INTRODUCTION
This manual has been compiled by the Hardware Section, Building Materials Branch of the War Production Board, in collaboration with the National Bureau of Standards and a seven-man industry committee composed of outstanding builders’ hardware manufacturers. Its purpose is to eliminate, through the control of installation, as provided from time to time in directives of the War Production Board, every possible ounce of scarce materials and every item which is not strictly necessary, consistent with a reasonable degree of service.
The provisions contained in the manual are designed specifically for certain types of buildings. It is intended, however, that the use of builders’ hardware in buildings, not specifically named herein, shall conform to the provisions provided for buildings of a similar type. The specific types of buildings for which provision has been included are as follows:
Part I.—Public type buildings including administrative? office, and monumental buildings; auditorium and recreation buildings; communications buildings; dormitories and nurses’ homes; education buildings and laboratories ; hospital, dispensary, and infirmary buildings; and waterworks and sewage disposal plant buildings.
Part II.—Residential housing.
Part III.—Cantonments and similar type buildings.
Part IV.—Industrial type buildings and buildings for Army and Navy bases other than previously covered in part III, including assembly explosive loading, packing, screening, detonator loading, pelleting, magazine, powder buildings ; blending, mixing buildings; tracer and nigh-explosive press-loading buildings; tracer, igniter and incendiary buildings; melting and pouring buildings; drilling and thread-cleaning buildings; percussion element line buildings; preliminary dry houses, change buildings ; ordnance and factory buildings ; powerhouse, warehouses, fire house, pump house, and shipping-room puildings; office, administration, instruction, first-aid buildings; guard louses, etc., officers’ quarters, and cafeteria buildings.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
This manual is based upon the critical positions, at the time of issuance, of materials used in the production of hardware. It has been designed to correlate all orders and restrictions which affect the
(1)

production or use of builders’ hardware. The manual is subject to revision by the Director of Industry Operations whenever warranted by a change in the critical position of the materials involved, or by the issuance of further orders or restrictions affecting builders’ hardware.
SUBSTITUTES
Whenever the use of this manual is made a requirement of construction by direction of any Federal agency, the items, and quantities of items, provided for are to be considered as maximum. Anyone desiring to use smaller sizes or lesser quantities may do so notwithstanding provisions of this manual.
Materials or products of the sizes, weights, or composition specified in the manual, may not be immediately procurable due to necessary changes in manufacturing processes or procedure. In such cases, similar products or materials, previously produced for the same use, may be substituted, provided such products or materials are obtainable from a supplier’s existing stocks or inventory.
HOUSING PROVISIONS
The provisions contained in this manual with respect to builder’s hardware in housing have been adopted from the War Housing Critical List effective February 24, 1942. Any amendments to this List shall take precedence over the housing provisions of this manual, until such time as the manual can be amended to conform.
