The NLGA Grade Rule incorporates the National Grade Rule (NGR) standards for all North American dimension lumber. The NGR establishes standard lumber grades and grade names for all commercial species of dimension lumber, thus assuring lumber users of uniform design criteria and performance throughout North America.
Canaropa was founded in Montreal, Canada in 1954 as an importer of builders' hardware. Today, our national distribution network includes locations in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. We have grown to become a leading North American supplier of residential, commercial, architectural and industrial door & window hardware, as well as security products.
We are your local hardware store and we are a part of your community. Over 4,600 of Ace's 4,700 stores around the globe are independently owned and operated by local entrepreneurs. These hard working men and women are part of the fabric of your community. They are small business owners who are local and loyal...just like it ought to be. While others have become large and impersonal, at Ace, we've remained small and very personal. That's why we say a visit to Ace, is like a visit to your neighbor.
