Tanner Bolt and Nut Corporation will be participating in two major events this upcoming September. Tanner will be exhibiting at both GlassBuild America and the Door & Hardware Institute’s 35th Annual Expo. The events will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from September 14th to 16th and at Navy Pier, Chicago, Illinois from September 22nd to 23rd respectively. At both events, Tanner Bolt and Nut will exhibit innovative fastening, anchoring, cutting and safety solutions for the commercial and institutional construction industries.

GlassBuild America is now in its seventh year and it is the gathering place for the entire glass, window, and door industries in North America and is continually listed as one of the Top 200 trade shows in the U.S. by Tradeshow Week. This show floor is the central showcase for glass processing equipment, window and door manufacturing equipment, and the latest technologies for all types of glass and fenestration products in North America.

Tanner will feature anchoring products for concrete applications, construction and masonry fasteners, security fasteners and anchors, cutting tools for aluminum, steel and stainless steel, metal fastening systems and safety equipment.

Tanner Bolt &Nut Corporations is also an exhibitor in the Door and Hardware Institute’s 35th annual conference and exposition. This year’s expo is all about sustainability as a theme, regarding both “green” constructions as well as how it applies to the door industry’s businesses.

Tanner is on hand to exhibit their cutting edge door hardware products for hollow metal door distributors, door and window installers, security contractors and locksmiths. Products include anchors and screws for hollow metal frame installations, security screws, specialty fasteners and self-drilling screws for door hardware, hinge installations, and glazing, and cutting tools including hole cutters, metal cutting blades and abrasives.

Q&A on Code Compliant Anchors for Concrete

There has been a lot of information and some confusion about the new requirements for mechanical and adhesive anchors as it relates to the 2006 IBC Building Code. At the Stafda show last November in Atlanta, Mark Johnson President of ICC-ES answered questions on this subject.

Sleeve Anchor Solution

Just recently, a customer contacted us from the field looking for a 12” wall anchor to install a metal door frame into a hollow block wall. No local supply house carried such an item. Tanner stocks a sleeve anchor extender that allows for a standard 5″ or 6″ sleeve anchor to be extended in 1-1/4″ increments.

The customer used 5 extenders per anchor hole to reach his required minimum anchor length. And he was able to finish the job quickly and easily – without what he thought would be additional masonry or metal work. Smart suppliers will work with you and customize a solution to your needs. There is no reason to feel locked into standard products, which will deliver disappointing results.

Philosophically speaking, in any modern industry, problems are to be expected. That is simply a reflection of our fast-changing world. What is more important are the solutions  we come up with — not just flimsy “band-aid fixes,” but solutions of substance like the one described above. They translate into significant savings in time, money and materials.
