Door, frame and hardware submittal review

Doors, frames and hardware are long-lead items, and a mistake caught after release costs weeks. We review the Division 08 submittal against the specifications, the drawings and the code before you approve it, and send back a marked-up list of exactly what needs to change.

What we check on every opening

Handing and preps

Handing, hinge preps, strike preps and closer reinforcements match between door, frame and hardware.

Rated openings

Labeled frames and doors, listed hardware, positive latching and self-closing on every rated opening.

Substitutions

Substituted products checked for equal function, grade, finish and listing, not just a similar catalog photo.

Missing items

Silencers, stops, seals, thresholds and power transfers that quietly fall off submittals.

Questions

Who usually hires a submittal reviewer?

General contractors and construction managers who want the Division 08 package checked by a specialist before release, and owners who want an independent check of what their contractor is buying.

Do you review frames and doors too, or only hardware?

Doors, frames and hardware together, because most problems sit where the three meet: preps, handing and reinforcements.

Do you review glazing?

No. We cover doors, frames and hardware. Glass and glazing should go to a glazing specialist.
