H&G/Schultz Door

H&G/Schultz Door was founded on a simple philosophy: to develop better methods of getting materials to customers on time. Its founders, Irv Hill and Don Guenther, achieved this goal with the help of another skilled and experienced hollow metal expert, David Buehrer.  Today, forty-three years later, their vision continues to help the company maintain its position as one of the most successful door and hardware distributors and fabricators in the nation.  Founded in St. Louis in 1967, H&G/Schultz Door operated out of a small warehouse in Westport Industrial Park, fabricating and distributing hollow metal doors and frames. The company was small, which provided plenty of room for growth through the sale of standard profile doorframes, steel doors and hardware.  At the time, many architects specified custom-made frames which mandated long lead times. To make matters worse, custom frames that had to be shipped long distances by truck, often incurred damages. Project delays were common. If the architect modified a design after materials had been ordered, delivery was expected to be delayed even further
