Foreword (This Foreword is not part of American National Standard A250.10-1998)
The material contained in this document has been developed under the
auspices of the Technical Committee of the Steel Door Institute.
The original standard was issued on July 28, 1980 and was last revised
in 1990. The current edition is a revision of the 1990 document with the
contents being updated to reflect changes and advances that have taken
place in the steel door and frame industry since that time.
Suggestions for improvement gained in the use of this standard will be
welcome. They should be sent to the Steel Door Institute, 30200 Detroit
Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44145-1967.
