When we design or construct buildings, it is not clear how to select hardwares according to the conditions of doors and windows. The selection has been judged by craftmen based on their experience. The purpose of this study is to classify runners and hinges into some ranks and to grasp the present standard of selection of them. We collected data from specifications and makers' catalogues. After we classified products into some ranks, we compared and examined data about selection. As a result, we offered basic materials to decide on an unified standard of selection of runners and hinges.
