Since 1999, professionals have trusted First Impressions for design and quality in architectural door hardware.
The First Impressions line is designed to provide a wide range of styles and options, allowing customers unique solutions for many types of applications. Our design strategy is largely driven by you, our customers, and what you value. Good design also requires sound engineering behind every product, which is why we use state of the art CAD-based systems allowing us to produce highly custom products while insuring our quality control meets precise tolerance level requirements.
Our craftspeople: casters, welders, machinists, assemblers, finishers and inspectors alike, are dedicated to the idea that each product will provide a lifetime of solid performance. Because form is nothing without flawless performance.
First Impressions offers a wide range of different materials, including solid and plated metals, exotic woods, glass, clear and colored acrylics, crystal and other options to ensure that your door hardware makes the right impression.
The same goes for our wide range of finishes, which can be specified for appearance (colors, sheens, antiquing) as well as function (weather resistance, heavy usage).

Tool Test: Six-Inch Jointers
Jointers are the go-to tools for straightening and squaring lumber, and standard-length 6-inch-wide capacity models are a great choice for most carpentry and trim uses in the shop and on the job site. These 46-inch bed machines are the entry-level size for stationary jointers and, as the smallest, represent the best possibility of a 'serious' stationary tool that is still portable enough to load up and take to select jobs. All the tools plug into line voltage, further enhancing their all-around utility. An old rule of thumb states that a jointer is accurate for truly straightening boards up to twice its bed length, so with a 6-inch face-planing width and an 8-foot (or so) straightening capacity, these machines can handle all the wood many guys mill, even if they remain shop-bound.
