Architect Scheduling

Doorways Architectural Solutions delivers end-to-end ironmongery scheduling for large, complex projects, aligning aesthetics with performance, accessibility and safety. We translate drawings and door schedules into a coordinated, door-by-door hardware specification and priced package, complete with keying strategy and change control, so the whole design team can interrogate scope, cost and compliance with confidence.

From early stage design we build hardware sets that reference current UK/EN standards and integrate with related packages, fire doors, access control and automation, so security, life-safety and egress requirements work together. We also bring signage scheduling principles into the conversation (wayfinding, contrast and legibility), advising on LRV/contrast where appropriate to support Equality Act/BS 8300 considerations and a clear user journey through the building. Our team can work from plans or survey, issue updates to all stakeholders, and stay involved through to handover.

We produce coordinated hardware sets for every opening, tied to drawing references and door numbers. Functions and performance notes (fire, acoustic, security, accessibility) are captured so the team can review at a glance.

Each schedule is fully itemised and priced with clear alternates for value engineering. Revisions are version controlled so scope, lead times and budgets stay transparent throughout the programme.

We design cylinder schedules and master key hierarchies to suit user groups, risk zones and future maintenance. Keys and cylinders are assembled in-house for secure handling and dependable turnarounds.

Specifications align with current UK/EN standards and best practice to support compliance and longevity. We advise on Equality Act/BS 8300, including LRV contrast, reach and operating forces for inclusive design.

Ironmongery is coordinated with readers, controllers and operators so security, life-safety and egress work together. We check door modes and interfaces early to prevent clashes at first fix and at handover.

Complete packs, schedules, datasheets and updates are issued to the full design and site team. Samples and presentation boards are available for client sign-off and mock-up reviews.

We support projects across Commercial, Education, Healthcare, Leisure, Local Authority, Retail, Student Accommodation and Mental Health. Practical tools such as door-weight guidance help translate design intent into buildable detail.
