Door and Hardware Federation

The Door and Hardware Federation (DHF) was created from a merger of the Association of Builders' Hardware Manufacturers (ABHM) and the Door and Shutter Manufacturers' Association (DSMA) as a not-for-profit trade association for companies associated with locks and building hardware, doorsets, industrial doors and shutters, domestic garage doors and automated gates. They provide technical advice, training, knowledge and practical help.
