Design the point of arrival
Bring the elevation and intended material, panel and glass direction. Compare the entry’s scale with sidelights, transoms and the surrounding facade before settling the configuration.
Entries & exterior doors
An arrival that belongs to the architecture, with the full assembly considered.
Scope and approach
Confirm the complete opening
Exposure, overhang, wall depth, threshold conditions and operation affect the assembly. Exact manufacturer documentation controls any performance or warranty requirement.
- Frame, sill and weather-seal scope
- Locking function, handing and preparation
- Finish responsibility and surrounding work
What to bring.
- What are the elevation and rough-opening conditions?
- How exposed is the opening to sun and weather?
- Which glass, security and finish requirements apply?
From review to agreed work
Plan the scope.
Review the elevation
Set the design direction and separate the main entry from secondary exterior openings.
Confirm the unit
Resolve material, dimensions, operation, frame, threshold and hardware against project requirements.
Plan the handoff
Agree approvals, lead-time confirmation, access and any project-defined installation and finishing work.
Before the next step.
Can we start with an entry we like?
Yes. Bring the reference and your elevation. We’ll help develop the actual assembly, material, glass and hardware direction, then confirm dimensions and preparation for approval.
Are ratings and warranties the same across entries?
They depend on the manufacturer, product, configuration and installation conditions. Applicable documentation is confirmed for the selected unit.
