If you’re in the process of specifying a development, you may be considering using a pre hung door set. These bespoke prefabricated door systems can offer your next project the benefit of reduced labour times on sit, and high quality standards.
By using a complete solution from Apollo Doorsets, aesthetics, functionality, and quality can be delivered at consistent standards. The success of a development often requires careful management of onsite contractors and labour.
When a complete door solution is used, mistakes and problems with door installation can be virtually eliminated. Our innovative door systems are manufactured to exacting German quality standards, delivering precision to your work site.
What is a Door Set?
A door set is a pre-hung door and frame delivered to your site ready for installation in a door opening. It includes the door frame, door leaf, seals, hinges, intumescents, door furniture, closing mechanism, and arrives fully finished.
Door sets can also be specified to meet requirements on soundproofing, thermal insulation, glass panels, and fire door regulatory compliance.
BS EN 12519
BS EN 12519 defines a door set as a product which is “supplied complete with all essential parts from a single source.” The document is used to specify terminology used to describe windows and pedestrian doors.
What’s The Difference Between Door Sets & Doors
The key difference between door sets and doors is ease of installation. A door set is supplied as a complete, fully finished unit already hung in a frame. Installation requires minimal on site skills.
A door requires a frame to be formed around it, and all door furniture to be added. It then needs a finish applied, requiring the co-ordination of more trades on site.
Are Door Sets Suitable for Commercial Projects?
Yes, commercial door sets are bespoke, pre-assembled systems designed for high traffic areas like offices and gyms, including options for fire door sets and soundproof doors.
Our bespoke manufacturing process means you can specify desired functionality, style, and any required regulatory compliance, ensuring durability and ease of installation to enhance both the practicality and aesthetics of any commercial space.
How are Door Sets Installed?
Door sets are delivered to the construction site as fully integrated units, with the door already mounted within its frame and all associated door furniture pre-attached.
The door openings should be prepared for installation before the units arrive. The units are fitted and secured in line with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Opting for a pre-hung door system minimises the demand for specialised labour on site, thereby reducing installation costs and guaranteeing uniform quality throughout the project.
Door sets can be installed at the end of a build, minimising the chance of damage to fixtures and fitting during building works.
At Apollo Doors, we provide expert guidance to your on-site teams, ensuring best practices are followed for a seamless installation process that promotes lasting durability .
