For architects, door subcontractors and distributors

Door hardware schedules and hardware sets

A hardware schedule is where a project either comes together or falls apart. Every opening needs the right set, handing, function, finish and keying, and one wrong line becomes a door that will not lock or a frame prepped for the wrong hinge. We build the schedule, opening by opening, from your drawings.

What we check on every opening

Every opening accounted for

Openings are counted against the plans, not just the old schedule, so nothing gets skipped.

Handing

Every leaf is handed from the plans, including pairs, so locks, closers and exit devices ship right.

Functions match the room

Storeroom, office, classroom and privacy functions chosen by how each room is actually used.

Keying

A draft keying schedule that maps keys to rooms so the owner's meeting starts from a real plan.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send the drawings

    Floor plans, door schedule (if one exists), life safety plan and any owner standards. A PDF set is fine.

  2. 2

    Get a fixed quote

    The fee is set from the opening count and scope before any work starts, so there is no hourly meter running.

  3. 3

    Receive the work

    Deliverables come back as editable files your team can drop straight into the project manual or submittal log.

  4. 4

    Questions through bid

    Bidder and contractor questions about the hardware come to us, so your team is not translating hardware catalogs.

Questions

What is the difference between a door schedule and a hardware schedule?

The door schedule lists every opening: size, door and frame type, fire rating and the hardware set number. The hardware schedule expands each set into the actual items, quantities and finishes.

Can you take over a schedule that is already started?

Yes. We audit what exists, fix it and finish the rest, and flag every change so your team can see what moved.

What software do you use?

Deliverables come back as editable files in the format your team uses, so nothing is locked in a tool you do not own.
