From offices and hospitals to schools and airports, building owners are increasingly relying on electrified locks, sensors, and automated door systems to improve both convenience and security. As buildings become more connected and security expectations evolve, smart and electrified door hardware is rapidly transforming how facilities manage access, safety, and efficiency. Behind these innovations, industry standards developed by organizations like BHMA play a vital role in ensuring system integration, safety, and performance. 

Please mark your calendars for the 2026 Board of Directors meeting, and please note that this event is by invitation only. Event dates and times are subject to change.

Following the second round of committee hearings in ICC’s code development process, BHMA is pleased to share that all 15 of its proposals are now set to be approved for inclusion in the 2027 International Building Code (IBC) and International Fire Code (IFC). These proposals are not subject to further debate and will receive final action during the April 2026 Public Comment Hearings via the Consent Agenda.
