Door and window hardware, itemized by opening and operation
Separate operating hardware from the frame and leaf package so each opening can be compared by function, not appearance alone. Tie handles, hinges, locks, closers and restrictors to unique opening references, operation type and the project-prescribed performance requirement.
Start with the right material groups.
Operating and locking sets
Define the complete handle, cylinder, lock, strike and keep set for each opening. State whether the set serves a single leaf, multi-point lock or master-key arrangement.
Hinges, pivots and carrying hardware
List hinge or pivot type, fixing base and leaf weight basis for each door or window. Separate butt hinges, concealed hinges, friction stays and pivot sets by opening reference.
Closers, restrictors and coordination items
Identify closers, floor springs, hold-open units, restrictors, finger protection and interface plates required for each location and leaf configuration.
A material price is only part of the package.
One schedule, clearly separated scopes. This is a request outline, not an installation drawing.
Included materials
State the hardware items supplied for each opening, including finish, handing and the assembly each item serves.
Connections & interfaces
Allocate responsibility for fasteners, plates, seals, power transfer and preparation between the hardware supplier and the joinery package.
Confirm separately
Confirm separately whether installation, commissioning, keying and maintenance material are included or excluded from the hardware supply.
Six details that make offers clearer.
- Product designation and duty requirement
- Enter the exact product reference or project-prescribed performance and duty classification the hardware must meet.
- Opening reference
- Attach the current door and window schedule and keep the same opening IDs in every hardware line.
- Leaf weight and width basis
- State the leaf mass and width basis used for hinges, pivots, closers and restrictors.
- Operation and handing
- Define single or double action, opening direction and handed version for each item.
- Finish and exposure
- Request the specified finish, corrosion expectation and interior or exterior location for every hardware set.
- Kit completeness
- Ask the supplier to list the included screws, keeps, cylinders, plates and any items quoted separately.

Example quantities only; no live prices or supplier offers. Use your project schedule for final values and ask suppliers to list deviations.
Three checks before you decide.
Opening-to-hardware alignment
Compare every hardware line against the opening schedule, handing and leaf basis before reviewing totals.
Set contents
Confirm the supplier identifies all fasteners, keeps, strike plates, cylinders and covers included or omitted in each set.
Finish and location
Check the finish reference and interior or exterior location are stated consistently across alternatives.
Details worth clarifying early.
How do I distinguish a complete locking set from a handle-only item?
Request the line to itemize the handle, cylinder, lock body, strike and keep. A handle-only price is not comparable with a full operating and locking set.
Does hinge selection depend on leaf weight and width?
Yes. Ask suppliers to state the leaf mass and width basis used so hinges, pivots and closers can be checked against the approved opening schedule.
