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 schedules into a coordinated, door-by-door hardware specification and priced package, complete with keying strategy and change control.
What's Included?
Door-By-Door Sets
We generate coordinated hardware sets for each opening, linking them directly to specific drawing references and door numbers. Performance requirements such as fire ratings, acoustics, and security are clearly captured for quick review by the design team.
Costed & Tracked
Every schedule is thoroughly itemised and priced, offering clear alternatives for value engineering. We strictly control version revisions so budgets, scope, and lead times remain entirely transparent throughout the programme.
Master Keying
Cylinder schedules and key hierarchies are expertly designed to accommodate specific user groups, risk zones, and future maintenance needs. Assembly happens in-house to guarantee secure handling and dependable turnarounds.
Standards & Accessibility
We ensure all specifications conform to current UK and EN standards to guarantee compliance and longevity. We also provide expert guidance on Equality Act and BS 8300 requirements, covering LRV contrast and operating forces for inclusive design.
Access Control Coordination
We seamlessly coordinate mechanical ironmongery with electronic readers, controllers, and operators so security and egress work together. This early-stage checking prevents clashes during the first fix and at final handover.
Issue Packs & Samples
The entire design and site team receives comprehensive packs, schedules, and datasheets. We also provide physical samples and presentation boards for client sign-off and detailed mock-up reviews.
Sector Proven Expertise
Our scheduling expertise spans the Commercial, Education, Healthcare, Leisure, and Student Accommodation sectors. We utilize practical tools, such as door-weight guidance, to transform design intent into realistic, buildable details.
Our Scheduling Process
- Assessment & Advice: Collaborative consultation from early-stage design to establish functionality, security, and aesthetic goals.
- Coordinated Specification: Translating architectural drawings into meticulous, door-by-door schedules that integrate mechanically and electronically.
- Compliance & Standards: Ensuring every specified component meets rigorous EN/BS fire safety and Equality Act accessibility regulations.
- Documentation Support: Providing fully costed proposals, technical datasheets, and ongoing change control updates through to handover.

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.

What's Included?
Door-By-Door Sets
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.
Costed & Tracked
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.
Master Keying
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.
Standards & Accessibility
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.
Access Control Coordination
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.
Issue Packs & Samples
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.
Sector Proven Expertise
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.
