Commercial metal doors and frames are easier to procure when the project information is grouped by opening condition. A quote based only on door size and quantity usually leaves frame, wall, hardware and delivery decisions unresolved.
Group openings by wall and performance condition
Separate masonry, drywall, existing-wall and specialty partitions because each can need a different frame profile and anchor arrangement. Then record fire, acoustic, thermal, security or exterior exposure needs.
Coordinate doors, frames and hardware before release
Frame preparations and reinforcements should match the final hardware set. Confirm handing, hinge type, lock function, closer position, glazing and access-control needs early.
- Leaf and frame sizes
- Wall thickness and frame throat
- Anchor type and installation sequence
- Hardware preparation and reinforcements
- Finish and corrosion-protection requirements
Include logistics in the same review
For export or multi-opening projects, packing, marking, container loading and site delivery sequence should be defined alongside product choices. This makes the door schedule useful beyond quotation.
Project information to send
- Door schedule and wall schedule
- Hardware set and project performance requirements
- Finish samples or colour reference
- Destination, packing and delivery sequence
Selections must be verified against the adopted code, project specification and listed assembly for the exact opening. For an opening-level review, send the schedule through Get a Quote.
