Index-d is here to help you build better by offering a very focused selection of proven high-performance building hardware solutions along with comprehensive product documentation and support from our team of experts to help you efficiently integrate these solutions into your project. We're picky. We offer only the best solutions available. No ugly junk.
FLEXIBILITY
Index-d was built to address projects of any size and complexity.
Say you're a contractor and you need a single overlooked doorstop or hinge to arrive on site by tomorrow morning. For you we have our online solutions portal:
BetterBuildingHardware.com where you can quickly identify one of our best-in-class products and have it shipped to you as soon as possible. And, if it's not clear what you might need, you can always give us a call to discuss your situation.
Or, say you are an architect or contractor and have an entire project with 70ish doors and what you need is a partner who can provide informed guidance and analysis for specifying each opening completely and deliver the full package—spindle to track hardware to doorstop. Index-d can be that partner as well.
