Access Doors & Panels: submittal requirements

Openings submittals live and die on schedules and hardware sets. Reviewers cross-check every opening against the door schedule, verify ratings, and read hardware sets line by line against the spec's set numbers.

  • Fire and smoke ratings with listing labels for rated openings
  • Hardware schedule organized by set number, matching the spec's sets exactly
  • Storefront and curtain wall system data with framing profiles, finishes, and performance (air, water, structural)
  • Glazing product data with U-factor, SHGC, VT, and safety glazing locations
  • Shop drawings for storefront/curtain wall with anchorage and joinery details
