When shop drawings miss door hardware details, the problems show up fast.

For glazing contractors and drafters, door hardware selection is not just a finish-out detail. It affects glass fabrication, rail and patch fitting layouts, door swing, header conditions, strike alignment, code considerations, and how the full entrance or partition system functions once installed.

Good shop drawings help teams catch those decisions early so hardware works with the system instead of against it.
