Material sourcing guide

Door sets, clear about every leaf, frame and fitting.

Turn the door schedule into comparable supplier offers. Keep opening references, dimensions, handing and hardware together, and ask suppliers to state exactly what arrives as a set.

01 / Products and uses

Identify the products you need.

Interior door sets

For room and corridor doors, identify the leaf, frame, finish and opening direction by schedule reference. Coordinate architraves and thresholds with the adjoining finishes.

Entrance and security doors

For access points, state the project requirements and complete hardware scope. Request evidence for the proposed product instead of inferring performance from weight or appearance.

Project-specific doors

For specialist requirements, attach the responsible designer's specification and ask suppliers to describe the offered complete assembly and relevant supporting documents.

02 / Materials in the quotation

List materials, accessories and delivery terms together.

Main materials

List the leaf, frame, architrave and hardware included in each door set with one opening reference.

Complementary products and delivery details

Identify the supplier responsible for thresholds, perimeter seals and access-control connections. Include the connection details to the surrounding wall.

Ask what is excluded

Confirm site measurement, fitting, electrical connection and commissioning separately, including who checks the finished opening.

03 / Before requesting quotes

Details to include in your request.

Opening schedule
Use unique door IDs and the current room/door schedule so quantities can be matched without ambiguity.
Dimensions and basis
State structural opening, overall frame or clear passage dimensions explicitly; do not mix their meanings.
Handing and operation
Provide the opening direction and operation with a plan reference instead of relying on a written left/right label alone.
Leaf, frame and finish
Describe the leaf and frame materials, finish and visible trim requirements for the actual set.
Hardware and interfaces
List hinges, locks, handles, closers, seals and any access-control interface to be included or separately supplied.
Project documents
Request the proposed set's drawings and any evidence required by the project, plus lead times by delivery phase.

Example quantities only; no live prices or supplier offers. Use your project schedule for final values and ask suppliers to list deviations.

04 / Compare the whole offer

What to check when comparing quotations.

Set contents

Match leaf, frame, trims, seals and hardware rather than comparing a leaf-only price with a complete set.

Dimensions and handing

Check the same measuring basis and opening direction for every door ID.

Evidence and exceptions

Review documents for the proposed assembly and explicit alternatives to the door or hardware schedule.

05 / Practical questions

Frequently asked questions

Does a door price include the frame and hardware?

Only when the offer lists them. Request the full set contents and identify any separately supplied locks, handles, seals or trims.

How can I avoid left/right handing errors?

Attach a plan or door-schedule reference that shows the opening direction and viewpoint. Ask the supplier to confirm it before ordering.
