What do I need to know before placing an order?
Here is a basic list of issues to be specified:
- Types of doors: interior or exterior?
- Models and finishes
- Door sizes or rough opening sizes to calculate the door sizes
- Number of doors
- Configurations (swing, bypass, pocket etc.)
- Types of hardware needed (handles? concealed or plain bearing hinges? tracks?)
- Swing directions (LHI - left hand inswing? RHI - right hand inswing?)
- Lockset functions (passage, privacy or keyed?)
- Additional options: automatic door bottom, frameless system etc.
- Project lead time (when are the doors needed at the job site?)
- Budget
- Any special requirements (fire ratings, etc.)
