Working out the door hardware for a project does not have to be your job. As a door hardware supplier in Perth, we take your plans, tell you exactly what each opening needs, and give you a full quote to match. You send the drawings, we do the rest. It really is that straightforward, and it saves you hours of cross-checking product codes against a door schedule you would rather not be building yourself.

Can I get a door hardware quote from my plans?

Yes. Send us your plans and we will prepare a complete door hardware schedule and quote from them. We read the drawings, identify every door, work out what hardware each one requires, and come back to you with the products, the quantities and the price. You do not need to know product codes or specify anything yourself before you talk to us.

This is the core of what a specialist supplier does that a general merchant does not. Anyone can sell you a box of levers, but turning a set of plans into the right hardware for every opening is skilled work. We have done it for commercial, healthcare, aged care and institutional projects across WA for over thirty years, so the takeoff is accurate the first time.

What plans or information do you need from me?

Whatever you have. Architectural drawings and a door schedule give us the most to work with, but even a basic floor plan is enough to get started. If you already have a specification or a hardware schedule from an architect, send that too and we will price and supply to it. If you do not, we will build the schedule for you from the drawings.

The more detail you give us, the tighter the quote, so fire ratings, accessibility requirements and any preferred brands are all worth flagging up front. If something is unclear on the plans, we ask rather than guess. That single habit prevents most of the ordering errors that show up later on site.

What do I get back?

A door-by-door hardware schedule and a quote to match. For each opening you get the specific products, the quantities, and the pricing, set out so you can see exactly what you are paying for and why. Where an opening has a compliance requirement, we note the products that meet it, so the schedule doubles as a record that the hardware suits the building.

You also get options where they help. If there is a more cost-effective product that does the same job, or an upgrade worth considering on a high-use door, we point it out. The goal is a schedule you can hand to your estimator or your site team and simply order from, not a raw price list you still have to interpret.

How does this help with compliance?

Considerably, because we check the hardware against the standards as we build the schedule. Accessible doors are governed by AS 1428.1, fire and smoke doors need hardware certified as part of a fire doorset under AS 1905.1, and the National Construction Code ties these to the building class. We know where those rules land on a plan and we specify to them.

That matters most on projects with disability access hardware in WA or aged care door hardware requirements, where getting a single opening wrong can hold up sign-off. When the compliance thinking happens at the quoting stage, you are not discovering a problem at inspection. You order hardware that already suits the building, which is the whole point of using a supplier who understands the standards rather than one who just fills orders.

Who is this service for?

Anyone who would rather hand over the hardware and get on with the build. Builders and head contractors use it to price a job quickly and accurately. Estimators use it to get a reliable hardware line in a tender without doing the takeoff themselves. Facility managers use it when upgrading or maintaining a building, and architects use it to turn a design intent into a workable, costed schedule.

It suits the compliance-driven sector particularly well. Hospitals, NDIS and SDA builders, aged care operators, schools and universities all deal with hardware that has to meet a standard, and all of them benefit from a supplier who prices and specifies in one step. If you buy or specify commercial hardware in Perth, this is built for how you actually work.

Why use a specialist supplier instead of working it out myself?

Because accuracy on a hardware schedule saves real money. Guess high and you over-order fittings you never use. Guess low and you hold up a trade waiting on back-ordered hardware. Miss a compliance requirement and you pay to rectify it after inspection. A proper takeoff from a supplier who reads plans every day removes all three risks in one go.

There is also the value of a single, knowledgeable point of contact. Instead of piecing hardware together from several places, you deal with one supplier who has quoted the whole job, knows every opening on it, and stands behind the schedule. We supply leading commercial ranges including Dormakaba and Lockwood, so the products on your quote are ones you can rely on for the life of the building.
