Any experiences and/or comments about Hadrian compartments, based in Mentor, OH? |

I can't say that I've dealt with them directly, but at my last firm we listed Hadrian for years. |

I have used them for awhile, I think it really depends on the representative in your area how well they present themselves to you. They typically use independent reps. Ours is particularly good. Before I started specifying, we were approving them as substitution requests on a few projects. I had not included them as there was no significant request to include them. After it looked like they were really interested in my market area and the rep coming in, I included them in my master, have not had any problems. William |

Thank you, both, for such informative and quick responses-- much appreciated!! Ours is a substitution request, too. Web site is not that good in revealing reps.......... |

I have just specified Hadrian for a project because they have unusually nice hardware for their Arch series. However, I had several conversations with them about testing their polypropylene to ASTM E84 for Class C. As of a couple of weeks ago, they did not have the testing done, but they assured me that they would have it by the end of the year, and that they were confident they would obtain Class C. I did not inquire about Class A as my project does not require it. |

Ralph: We've had them in our master for a while now. I think Ohio may have a new rep because I received an email from someone that I think is new not too long ago. I don't recall ever having them actually installed on one of our projects though. |

Interesting, Tracy, in that I contacted their HQ for the name of a local rep or someone serving this general territory-- no reply! |

To round this out, a colleague here in Cincy just talked with a Hadrian rep and passed his name to me-- a Kraig Klein, of Advanced Openings and Specilaities in Michigan. Still marvel at the lack of contact/information from an apparently good outfit who likes to sell their products-- is a "puzzlement"!!!! |
