Door & Hardware Installation

Complete commercial door opening assemblies — frames, doors, and hardware — for Chicago-area projects backed by 30+ years of interior construction expertise.

Commercial Door & Hardware Installation

Commercial door openings are a late-schedule item that can hold up inspection, certificate of occupancy, and occupancy handoff if they're not coordinated and installed correctly. The Edge handles complete door opening assemblies — hollow metal frames, wood and HM doors, and commercial-grade hardware — as part of our broader interior construction scope.

Because we self-perform framing, drywall, and door installation, GCs can bundle these scopes under a single subcontract. One team owns the rough opening, the frame, the board, and the door. No handoff gaps. No scheduling disputes between trades. Every project is managed through Procore — submittals, hardware schedules, and punch lists in one platform, visible to everyone.

How We Work

How Does The Edge Approach Every Door Opening?

From submittal to punch list — every opening is planned and tracked.

Submittal & Hardware Schedule Review

We review hardware schedules, door schedules, and specifications before mobilizing. Submittals are processed through Procore so the GC, architect, and hardware supplier are all aligned before installation begins.

Frame Setting

Hollow metal frames are set plumb, square, and level — coordinated with the framing scope to ensure rough openings are correct before drywall begins. Frames are anchored and braced per manufacturer requirements.

Door Hanging

Doors are hung to specification — correct clearances, swing direction, and hinge placement verified against the door schedule. Wood doors, HM doors, and specialty units are handled by experienced crews.

Hardware Installation & Punch

Commercial hardware is installed per the hardware schedule — closers, locksets, exit devices, door stops, and accessories. A final punch walk confirms every opening operates correctly before handoff.
