Door and Hardware Pre-Fabrication
What Is Pre-Fabrication?
Pre-fabrication is the process by which our factory certified door technicians install hardware components on primed or prefinished doors in an off-site, controlled environment before they are delivered to the jobsite.
What Are The Benefits Of Pre-Fabrication?
- Materials are delivered itemized by door number and palletized by location and ready to be hung.
- Reduces time on site by up to 75%.
- Allows for doors to be installed later in the construction schedule reducing opportunity for damage and after completion of other finish trades.
- Doors can be hung in less than 10 min per door, saving time and money.
- Reduces the need for expertise in the field, allowing for more efficient resource allocation.
- Problems are identified and corrected before materials arrive at the jobsite. (i.e. Incorrect door, incorrect hardware preps, missing parts, defective product, improperly sized hardware, etc.)
- Hardware isn’t lost, damaged or stolen on site
- Less packaging and waste to be thrown away on the jobsite.
- Electrified hardware is tested and certified before it arrives on the jobsite.
- Shorter deficiency lists with reduced damage and field touch ups. Doors are installed after flooring and furniture are put in the rooms.
- All other non-door-mounted hardware components, (silencers, wall stops, smoke seals) are bagged and shrink wrapped to each door. No need for inventorying or relocating hardware on site.
