PRE-PRODUCTION APPROVAL CONTROL
Approve the Complete Entrance, Not an Isolated Door Leaf
A shop drawing should connect the approved design intent to the complete entrance scope. Architects, contractors, developers and import partners should check the opening, moving and fixed elements, pivot position, frame lines, threshold, finish direction, hardware interfaces and drawing revision before authorizing production.
PROJECT DECISION POINTS
Drawing identity
Record: Project, door type, drawing number, revision and approval status
Prevents an old issue or unrelated entrance from being released.
Complete geometry
Record: Opening, frame, leaf, fixed panels, transom, pivot and clear passage
Keeps the drawing aligned with the architectural composition.
Design control
Record: Finish code, pattern direction, handle line and visible joints
Turns visual intent into reviewable production information.
Interface control
Record: Threshold, wall, floor, access control and local installation boundaries
Makes unresolved responsibilities visible before release.
INFORMATION CHECKLIST
Shop drawing fields to verify
- Project and door-type reference
- Latest architectural drawing revision
- Overall unit, moving leaf and fixed-element dimensions
- Pivot side, swing, clear passage and handle position
- Finish code, pattern direction and hardware notes
- Approval name, date and list of remaining comments
USEFUL FIRST RESPONSE
A useful supplier response should identify incorporated comments, clearly mark assumptions and keep unresolved items open. Approval should not be interpreted as transferring local code, structural, waterproofing or installation responsibility to the manufacturer.
RESPONSIBILITY BOUNDARY
Dooream discussion scope
Prepare the proposed custom-door drawing from the information received, identify assumptions and revise supplier-side details for review.
Local project responsibility
Verify site dimensions, architecture, structure, local requirements, interfaces and final approval authority.
FREQUENT PROJECT QUESTIONS
Clarify the handoff before the next decision
What should be approved before a custom entrance door enters production?
Approve the latest complete drawing, dimensions, configuration, finish direction, hardware interfaces, project assumptions and the named approval status.
Does supplier shop-drawing approval replace local site verification?
No. The responsible local project team should verify the real opening, structure, interfaces, codes and installation requirements.
Continue the project research: architect entrance-door schedule, drawing input checklist, site measurement verification, custom pivot-door project review.
For architects, consultants, contractors, developers, dealers and importers managing a defined high-value entrance project. It is not a standard replacement-door ordering form.
