When hanging kitchen barn doors, we use self-centering,<br />
commercial-grade, double-sprung hinges for durability and we fit<br />
the doors with tempered windows to minimize collisions.<br />
Tables<br />
For horizontal prep and expo line surfaces, we use only<br />
18-gauge, de-burred, type 403 stainless steel. Unlike other<br />
fabricators, we specify a slightly grainy finish. Experience has<br />
shown that this makes scratches less visible. Under-table shelves<br />
and table legs, which are fitted with adjustable bullet feet, are<br />
constructed of stainless steel as well. Galvanized steel is cheaper,<br />
but in humid and moist environments it will eventually pock,<br />
rust and fail. For tables built to support heavy equipment, we<br />
add welded, reinforcing supports. All tables Proctor Companies<br />
builds are NSF-approved.<br />
Lighting<br />
We steer away from cheap knockoffs and go with low-voltage<br />
LEDs from Hafele ® for accent, spot, ambient and task lighting.<br />
Hafele lights are famous for their reliable power supplies and long<br />
duty cycles. Their full-coverage lenses allow placement in barbacks<br />
and other splash zones, increasing productivity and safety<br />
in areas that have traditionally been poorly lit.<br />
Miscellaneous<br />
We install stainless-steel, outside corner guards on wall corners<br />
in high-traffic areas. We specify wrist handles for all sink installations<br />
for ease of use and a sanitary workspace. We add stainless-steel liners<br />
to recessed sinks to add depth, decreasing splash-out. We set<br />
our bar heights to 34 inches for ADA compliance and we add corner<br />
guards around ADA access areas to increase access and reduce injuries.<br />
When we construct bars, we install parallel—not bundled—tap<br />
lines and we label them for ease of service later on. And ADA areas<br />
are designed with rounded corners and smoothed edges for a satisfying<br />
customer experience.<br />
As you can see, the details matter. Attending to them requires<br />
coordination across all disciplines—from salespeople to designers to<br />
project managers and installers—with knowledge, experience and a<br />
shared dedication to creating the highest possible value for clients.<br />
I’ve recently rejoined Proctor after a nearly ten-year hiatus, and I<br />
couldn’t be happier to once again be part of a team that understands<br />
that the lowest price does not always represent the best value.<br />
