Direct Answer

For a residential rebuild with glazed double swing doors, the safest quotation basis is a measured opening schedule that confirms the frame, glass layout, handing, hardware and finished wall condition before production review.

Representative Iraq rebuild brief

This anonymised case illustrates the coordination questions that can arise when a residential rebuild requires a glazed double swing entrance with matching side panels or divided glass sections.

The key procurement risk is not only the visible door design. The opening, frame depth, floor level, wall finish, swing clearance and hardware positions must be described together so the quotation reflects the installed condition.

Glazed layout and frame coordination

Confirm whether the opening uses one leaf, two leaves or a door with fixed side panels. The approved drawing should identify the glass or panel arrangement, frame profile, clear opening and the relationship between the active and inactive leaves.

Existing opening measurement

For a rebuild, measure the opening after allowing for plaster, tile, threshold and floor finishes. Record the width at several points, the height at both sides, wall thickness and any irregular masonry before setting the final frame dimensions.

Door schedule and opening count

A room-by-room schedule helps separate the glazed entrance from internal openings and makes the package easier to quote. Include the opening reference, quantity, leaf configuration, dimensions, handing, finish, frame, glass or panel note and hardware requirement.

Closer and hardware preparation

Double swing doors often need a clear decision on hinges, closer, handle set, lock or latch and any reinforcement. Confirm the hardware model or functional requirement early because the preparation affects the frame, leaf edge and clearance.
