Item Catalog
List manufacturer, model, SKU, and vendor part numbers. Include door type, frame material, and referenced hardware set to ensure accurate ordering and vendor responses during bidding and fulfillment.
Using a consistent doors-and-hardware template reduces specification errors, speeds procurement approvals, clarifies warranty responsibilities, and limits on-site rework. When paired with an auditable e-signature process that satisfies ESIGN (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) or UETA requirements, it supports enforceable execution and reliable recordkeeping.
Typical users include project managers, purchasing agents, contractors, and facility managers responsible for specifying, ordering, and accepting doors and hardware.
Roles may overlap; explicitly define approval authority and routing in the template to avoid delays, substitution disputes, and payment holdbacks.

General contractors commonly have delegated procurement authority to place orders and accept deliveries under the prime contract; the signer should be an authorized procurement manager or officer whose authority is documented to avoid later challenges.
Owners or owners' representatives sign change orders and acceptance certificates; for corporate owners, require an officer or delegated agent and, when appropriate, a corporate resolution authorizing the signer.
