H&G/Schultz Door

What H&G/Schultz Door does

H&G/Schultz Door is a privately held commercial door and hardware distributor, fabricator, and installer founded in 1967 in St. Louis, Missouri by Don Guenther and Irv Hills. The company operates from a 45,000 sq ft facility on Lackland Road—claimed to be the largest hollow metal shop in the Midwest—and distributes products from leading manufacturers including Assa Abloy, Allegion, and Masonite. Its core product portfolio spans hollow metal doors and frames, architectural wood doors, architectural hardware, aluminum storefront and glazing, high-security key systems, access control systems, and automatic doors (including sliding, swinging, ICU, and revolving doors). A signature operational feature is the "Hang & Go" pre-installation service, in which union carpenters mount hardware in-shop before phased delivery to the job site to reduce onsite labor, errors, and storage risk.

Revenue is generated through a combination of product distribution, custom fabrication (including in-house UL- and Intertek/WHI-certified fire-rated labeling), professional installation, pre-construction consulting by Architectural Hardware Consultants (AHC), and recurring annual fire door inspections performed by DHI/Intertek-certified FDAI inspectors for healthcare facilities under NFPA80. Customers span commercial general contractors, architects, healthcare facilities, K-12 educational institutions, retail and commercial property owners, hospitality, and government, with named historical enterprise accounts including Shell Oil, Red Lobster (500+ restaurants), Anheuser-Busch, McDonnell Douglas, Monsanto, Mallinckrodt, and the Salk Institute. GTM is enterprise field sales with quote-based, multi-year contract pricing, AHC-led specification writing during pre-construction, and 24/365 field service delivered by union carpenters, locksmiths, and electricians across the Midwest. The company acquired Schultz Door in 2004 to add automatic door system capabilities.
