08 71 00 Door Hardware: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Hardware schedule, hardware group spec, and door schedule create a three-way contradiction surface that routinely generates high RFI volume at rough-in.
Most Door Hardware 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 71 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
Hardware group vs. door schedule
A frequent door hardware 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.
Closer spec vs. door weight
A frequent door hardware 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.
Electric hardware vs. power supply
A frequent door hardware 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
- Hardware group not matching door schedule assignment
- Closer not rated for door weight
- Electric strike power supply not specified
