120+ renders across a complete door hardware range — rebuilt from engineering CAD files for print brochure, web and advertising.
The existing Forge Series photo library was a mix of low-resolution shots, missing variants and inconsistent finishes. Every image was replaced — same lighting, same camera angles, same materials — across the entire range.
Each product ships with configuration variants — with and without cylinder, with and without snib, left- and right-handed orientations — and needs to be shown both as a standalone on a white background and in context on a door stile.
Multiply that across two powder coat finishes and multiple camera angles, and the image count climbs fast.
The brief required a single visual language across all 120+ renders — consistent enough to run across brochure, web and advertising without any image looking out of place. Key requirementsAllegion's engineering team provided STEP files for each product — hardware mounted on the door stile with applicable lock body and cylinder.
Camera positions were approved through a dedicated pass before any materials or textures were applied — testing yaw and pitch until both the hero angle and the brochure reference angle were signed off.
Renders were delivered family by family with a PDF review document at each stage, so Allegion's team could approve incrementally rather than reviewing 120 images at once.
Where files shipped with incorrect geometry — wrong stile extrusion, misidentified models, transitional branding on face plates — these were caught and resolved before committing final renders.
The library covers the complete Forge Series range — every product family, every configuration variant, in both White Gloss and Monument Satin.
Each render was built to work as a standalone product shot, an on-door context image, and a hero — giving Allegion's team flexibility across every use case without commissioning additional photography.
The final library replaced all existing Forge Series photography. The brochure front cover uses the white security hook bolt on white stile, and every product section draws from the same render set — a consistent visual language across six families and two finishes, in use across print, web and advertising.
