Early Door & Hardware Plan: Fewer Delays
Smart hardware: badge readers, mag locks, ADA sensors, auto fire pins, electric hinges, electric push bars, and panic devices are all job-site standard now. But, installing doors first and wiring later often leads to costly rework, inspection failures, and delays.
At JAM Door, our Nashville installs start with cross-trade coordination. Partnering early with electricians, general contractors, and security integrators prevents common setbacks.
Why Early Coordination Matters
Installing hardware and frames separately often causes issues:
Pinched wires behind frames
Incorrect back-box sizing
Weak mag lock anchoring
Damaged weatherstripping from late hardware adjustments
Inspection failures (clearance, auto fire pins, electric panic devices)
Early collaboration reduces these risks, ensuring smooth installs and timely completion. If anything was missed, our JAM Door 911 team quickly handles on-site frame re-preps and corrections; keeping the project moving.
Coordinating Hardware the Right Way
Hardware coordination takes planning, timing, and technical accuracy. JAM Door works with access control, low-voltage, and security teams to ensure frames and devices are prepped correctly before finish stages. The result: fewer delays, cleaner inspections, and less backtracking.
What We Install and Coordinate
JAM Door handles all types of door hardware; badge access, life-safety systems, low-voltage components, and more. Everything is routed, mounted, and tested with the build in mind. If something needs adjusting, we fix it cleanly; whether during install or through field-ready support from JAM Door 911.
