Chown Hardware

Chown Hardware Founded in 1879, Chown Hardware is the industry leader in high-quality hardware.

Did you know we work with designers on both residential and commercial projects? For nearly 150 years, Chown has built a legacy alongside Pacific Northwest architects, designers, builders, homeowners, facilities directors, project managers, and contractors to honor their residential and commercial spaces with intelligently crafted and radiantly designed products. Our residential division pairs the

world’s finest architecturally-inspired plumbing, lighting, and hardware with the industry’s most experienced and approachable service—simplifying the design process by locally selecting, purchasing, and delivering the fixtures needed to craft, curate, and construct spaces for modern living and gathering. Our commercial division owns the standard in products designed to meet the demands of high-traffic, day-to-day use and safety needs in commercial offices, healthcare and education facilities, and government agencies. We're the Pacific Northwest's leading provider of commercial-grade doors, hardware, and security products; providing exceptional services including locksmithing, door and hardware installation, and fire door inspections.

Preserving history while creating something entirely new – that’s what makes projects like this so meaningful to us.

At the historic View Point Inn, originally built in 1924 and designed by renowned Oregon architect Carl L. Linde, every detail tells a story. Perched above the Columbia Gorge, it’s long been a place of reflection, beauty, and connection to nature.

Today, that legacy continues with The Healing Order, bringing new life to the space as a destination focused on restoring the mind, body, and spirit. Through holistic therapies designed to support the body’s natural healing abilities, regulate the immune system, and address chronic health concerns, the space now offers a deeply restorative experience.

Chown was proud to support this transformation by providing hardware solutions that respect the building’s historic integrity while enhancing safety and performance for modern use.

In this space, we blended residential and commercial applications, including:
• A Rocky Mountain Hardware cremone bolt set, adding timeless craftsmanship and decorative elegance
• Pemko smoke gaskets and door sweeps to help protect and preserve the structure
• LCN door closers to support safety, security, and longevity

Projects like this reflect what we value most, honoring the past while thoughtfully preparing spaces for the future.

Accessibility matters in commercial spaces, and that starts at the door.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) helps ensure buildings and public spaces are accessible to everyone. In commercial doors and hardware, that means products must be designed for ease of use, safe operation, and accessible entry and exit for people of all abilities.

At Chown Commercial, we regularly work with ADA-compliant products that help create safer and more accessible environments across schools, healthcare facilities, offices, commercial projects, and more. Here are a few of the trusted brands and products we frequently install:

• LCN 4040XP Series Closers // Designed for demanding, high-traffic openings, the 4040XP Series features an adjustable spring force that can be configured to meet ADA opening force requirements.

• Schlage ND Series Levers // All Schlage ND levers comply with ADA requirements by allowing operation with one hand and without tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist.

• Von Duprin 98/99 Series Exit Devices // This series is ADA-compliant and designed to provide safe, accessible egress. Their push-pad operation allows for easy exit in emergency situations while supporting accessibility standards in high-occupancy buildings.

Accessibility is important to us because commercial spaces should support everyone in our community. Through thoughtful hardware and code-compliant openings, we’re proud to help create environments that are safer, easier to navigate, and more welcoming for all.
