What Steel Krafts Building Material & Supply Inc does

Steel Krafts Building Material & Supply Inc is a privately held, specialty commercial door and architectural hardware distributor founded in 1974 and headquartered in Troy, New York, with a second office in East Syracuse, New York. The company supplies hollow metal doors, commercial wood doors, fire-rated door assemblies, custom and special-order doors, pre-hung door packages, steel stiffened doors, and complete architectural hardware sets (hinges, closers, locksets, exit devices, access control hardware, electrified hardware) to general contractors for Division 8 commercial construction projects. Steel Krafts operates as an authorized distributor for premium OEMs including ASSA ABLOY (Ceco Door, Corbin Russwin), Masonite, Stanley, Allegion, Dormakaba, Hager, and others, and pairs product supply with licensed Architectural Hardware Consultant (AHC) services for code compliance — fire, ADA, life safety, and security.

The company generates revenue primarily through product sales of doors, frames, and hardware to commercial construction projects, with a secondary revenue stream from professional consulting services (AHC specification writing, fire door compliance auditing, ADA consulting, life safety consulting, master key system design) that is bundled into the bid package process at no separate charge. Pricing is project-based with no publicly disclosed blanket pricing; detailed bid packages are provided free of charge, with same-day turnaround on smaller quotes. The firm uses AVAWare estimating software with real-time vendor pricing to generate competitive quotes, and supports its model with free field measuring and free site audits. Distribution is delivered through direct manufacturer-to-jobsite shipping nationwide plus company-owned trucks for local delivery in Troy, Albany, and Syracuse. The customer base is concentrated in general contractors serving medical facilities, schools and universities, apartment complexes and affordable housing, government buildings, and hotels, with architects and project managers as a key secondary persona for specification support.
