A useful door hardware specification records the door, required function, preparation, exact assembly and finish. Start with a named product such as Aure Maison’s Ellington Door Handle, then use its dimensions and installation information to complete the schedule before ordering.
For Ellington, choose Passage or Privacy for each applicable interior door and record the selected finish. Give the product information to the installer to confirm backset, door preparation, thickness and clearances. This keeps the visual decision attached to the actual handle assembly throughout the project.
Use the fields below to build one row per door or separately specified opening. Keep the final selection together with the manufacturer's drawing and the installer's confirmation.
Identify the opening before the product
Give each door a unique reference and record the spaces it connects. Note whether it is hinged, sliding, pocket, folding or part of a pair. For paired doors, identify the intended operation of each leaf rather than assuming one always needs a particular handle type.
Count the door once even if both adjoining rooms have separate finish schedules. If the two faces have different requirements, record those within the same door reference.
Complete the specification fields
| Field | What the record should contain | Who should verify it |
|---|---|---|
| Door reference and location | Unique ID and the two spaces connected | Project schedule owner |
| Door type and required operation | Opening type, active leaves and any special requirements | Designer and installer |
| Hardware function | Passage, privacy, fixed pull or another specified function | Client and installer |
| Selected model | Exact product and configuration | Purchaser against supplier information |
| Door thickness | Measured or approved finished dimension | Installer or door supplier |
| Preparation | Existing bore or mortise details and required template | Installer against product documentation |
| Backset and operating centerlines | Dimensions required by the selected assembly | Installer or door fabricator |
| Handing | Supplier's designation supported by a swing drawing | Installer using the supplier's convention |
| Latch, lock and strike | Required compatible components and frame preparation | Installer |
| Visible trim and finish | Rose/backplate dimensions and approved finish reference | Designer and installer |
| Complete contents | Handles, components and fixings included or separately ordered | Purchaser with supplier |
| Quantity and unit of sale | Physical requirement converted into actual order units | Schedule owner and purchaser |
The table is an order-verification tool, not a dimensional specification for an Aure product. Copy approved dimensions from the exact model's documentation rather than filling empty fields with a familiar standard size.
Attach the right drawing
Attach the current drawing or installation information for the selected Aure handle. Give the installer the product reference as well as the finish, so door preparation is checked against the actual assembly before work begins.
For a replacement, also record the existing trim footprint and door condition. The installer should decide whether the proposed assembly is suitable and whether any preparation or repair is necessary. Confirm that assessment before authorizing new drilling or alterations.
Reconcile sets, pairs and individual pieces
Count what is physically required first, then check how the supplier sells it. A pair of handles, a complete operating set and a single fixed pull are different order units. Required locks, latches or other parts may be included or separate.
Do the same for hinges and stops if they are within the purchasing scope. Confirm their functional requirements as well as the finish. Add spare quantities only for an identified project need, with the applicable return terms understood.
Review the complete order
Before releasing the purchase, confirm that every row has a product, function, verified fit, finish, quantity and responsible installer. Resolve contradictions between the quote, schedule and drawings. Mark any proposed substitution clearly and have the affected specifications rechecked.
Agree delivery arrangements against the installation schedule. For custom work, confirm its approved scope and any associated production timing separately. Retain the approved order and care documents for handover.
