Door Consultancy
Early Engagement Consultancy
Experience has shown that early involvement to prepare for tender is key to ensuring door products meet all considered aspects of design. For example, the number of variables is extensive, such as; acoustics, DDA legislation, colourways for the partially sighted, choice on glazing and more, all influencing the end product.
Careful consideration can ensure that resulting products are engineered in a considered manner, avoiding unnecessary complexities, yet delivering on the needs of the overall design.
Early engagement with Approved Door Consultancy offers the opportunity to explore a number of aspects that can sometimes be overlooked, allowing your new doors to be better matched to your needs. Our in-depth knowledge of manufacturing and installing specialist fire rated doorsets gives us the means to consider the method of construction within the given Field of Application document for any given door core, becoming a fully complete doorset. This will include consideration of all elements and components used and engineered to form the constructed doorset as a whole.
This level of knowledge means that our involvement with your Door and Ironmongery specification allows you full confidence in your door choices and their overall suitability for your building or project.
Doorset Specification Writing
Doorset manufacture and installation, are both key to successful doorset performance contributing to a project’s overall legacy.
It is important for doorsets to be manufactured and installed in line with a well written and considered specification (i.e., NBS L20).
With a well written specification prepared, this will be key to ensuring the variety of doorsets you need to procure, are to those exacting standards.
An impartial yet thorough specification prepared by Approved Door Consultancy, will ensure all elements of your doorset design and installation are undiluted nor weakened.
We will detail aspects including; door core types, timber species, door appearances, glazing systems, acoustics, locking systems, installation methods (including fixing types & regularity), architrave detail and more.
Our approach will provide a detailed specification for all door types, not a ‘one size fits all’ approach as some assumptions can mean some key aspects become overlooked. Our in-depth knowledge of manufacturing and installing specialist fire rated doorsets gives us the means to consider the method of construction within the given Field of Application document for any given door core, becoming a fully complete doorset. This will include consideration of all elements and components used and engineered to form the constructed doorset as a whole.

Door and Ironmongery Specification Review
Have you been working to an existing specification for some time?
If so, it may be worthwhile considering having this reviewed to ensure it is still as relevant and as up to date as possible. This way, your new doors and ironmongery, will keep up with your needs, not failing the needs of the building or its occupants.
Although continuous like for like ordering can ease your procurement process, with ongoing product developments or ever-changing building usage, would now be the right time to review your specification prior to further investment in new doors for your building?
