08 11 00 Metal Doors and Frames: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Door schedules frequently disagree with both the architectural floor plans and the hardware specification, creating cascading RFIs during rough-in.
Most Metal Doors and Frames contradictions trace to the same root: the specification and the drawings are produced by different people at different stages, and never fully reconciled before the set goes out. By the time the conflict is found in the field, it is an RFI, a delay, or a change order.
Lintel cross-references section 08 11 00 against your full drawing set, schedules, and the rest of the project manual, flagging every disagreement with a citation to the exact page so it is resolved in review.
Common contradiction types
Door schedule vs. plan location conflicts
A frequent metal doors and frames conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Frame gauge spec vs. schedule callout
A frequent metal doors and frames conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Hardware group assignment errors
A frequent metal doors and frames conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Frequent RFIs
- Door size mismatch between schedule and floor plan
- Frame type not matching opening condition
- Hardware spec group not listed in schedule
