Attendees to the Specifications Consultants in Independent Practice annual meeting in Grand Rapids, Mich., May 19-21 would have seen our own Candace Kitchen delivering our top-rated AIA presentation, “Integrated Fire and Smoke Door Systems: Specifying Your Own Safety Net,” at the Sunday education segment. Total Door also hosted a tabletop display at the meeting to engage the independent spec writers in attendance.
