APV began operations in 1972 as a subsidiary of Oscar F. Henry Company which Mr. Henry opened in 1941 as a building products supplier in Charleston, West Virginia. In 1977, APV acquired Tom Jones Hardware in Richmond, Virginia which had been in business since 1922. Richmond soon became the center of operations for APV. The assets of Oscar F. Henry Company were sold in 1990 and it continues to operate in Charleston. APV continues to be owned and operated by the Henry family. The Henry family continues to manage the day to day operation of APV and they are readily accessible to help any customer.
Hollow metal doors provide the broadest range of options at the most cost effective pricing. Many custom shapes, sizes, and ratings may only be possible with hollow metal available in cold-rolled, galvanealed, and stainless steel. Factory glazing and factory finishing save time and alleviate field coordination issues. Hollow metal frames are the most common choice for wood and metal doors. A large inventory of profiles and jamb depths and our fabrication shop allow us to get frames on site quickly to maintain tight construction schedules.
We can provide and support Access Control Software for small 1-2 door systems to multi-site enterprise systems. Flexible web based systems and web clients are available which allow remote access from handheld devices. We represent those system vendors which provide great support and integrate with a broad range of devices such as biometric readers and integrated locks. The access control system must not only help protect your facility, but also must provide for smooth, efficient day to day operation.
INSTALLATION of our products saves time and eliminates finger pointing. A single source of responsibility for both the product and installation means a single call to address any issues. The sophistication of many products require expertise and sometimes factory certification and APV is certified to install anything that we sell. We can pre-install the hardware on the doors prior to delivery so that another contractor can hang the door and complete the installation with the knowledge that the hardware has been installed per the manufacturers' recommendations.
Door openings represent a very small percentage of total building costs, yet can be the largest problem during construction and maintenance of the facility. APV is ready to make sure you get the right product for the application and we will still be there to support the facility after occupancy. We can assist with design and specifications, offer options to satisfy unusual conditions, and provide training for installers that may be seeing new products for the first time. NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives (2007 edition) requires annual inspections of fire doors including a written record of the inspection signed and kept on file for your AHJ.
