Should it be specified as part of door hardware like residential-type sliding or pocket door hardware or should it be in it's own Section?

It's door hardware unless it is supplied as part of the door itself. Hardware on overhead coiling doors - NOT door hardware. Sliding door hardware - IS door hardware. Exception: cylinders, regardless of where they occur, are usually specified in door hardware to coordinate keying. George A.

When I did it, I was the inside spec writer. You can always have the consultant include it in his spec. I've had them include certain types of gate hardware on occasion. George A.

I often include gate hardware, sliding door hardware, and other miscellaneous items (Knox boxes, for example) in the 08 71 00 section that I prepare, even though they are not really in the "scope of work". Sometimes I can help in locating these items, but sometimes the architect tells me exactly what is wanted. George A. Everding AIA CSI CCS CCCA Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies St. Louis, MO
