Software Solutions for Door Hardware Sellers

Door hardware is chosen as a set: hinges, handle, lock body, stopper and closer should match in finish and suit the door’s weight and handing. Builders order by the room and the building. Sellers online need set builders, finish matching and project quantities.

At a glance

Sell hinges, handles and closers as coordinated sets for each door.

A handle in satin steel beside hinges in brass looks wrong, and nobody notices until the door is hung. The catalogue has to keep finishes together.

Businesses and operating models

Architectural hardware suppliers

A supplier sells hinges, handles and closers to builders and architects, specified by finish and series.

Home improvement sellers

A seller offers handle sets and hinges to households replacing hardware on a few doors.

How an order moves

The workflow for door hardware.

  1. 1

    Door and finish chosen

    The buyer picks door type, weight and a finish. The listing shows parts that match in that finish.

  2. 2

    Set assembled

    Hinges, handle, lock body and stopper are added as one set, with a count per door.

  3. 3

    Project quantities

    A builder orders for many doors at once, and the quantity is split by floor or room.

  4. 4

    Finish batch checked

    Items from one batch are sent together, because finishes vary slightly between batches.

Where it breaks

The challenges, and what they cost.

Finishes do not match

Parts ordered at different times come from different batches, and the colour is slightly off.

Weight rating is ignored

A hinge too light for a heavy door sags within months, and the supplier is blamed.

Project orders are split badly

Hardware for a building arrives in one pile, and sorting it by room is left to the site.

Requirements to assess

What is specific to this trade.

These are requirements we would confirm in discovery. They describe what the solution may need to handle. They are not features that already exist.

  • Finish and series held as fields, so sets match
  • Rated load per part checked against door weight
  • Project orders split by floor or room
Recommended modules

What we would build for door hardware.

Chosen from the commerce capabilities this business needs, not a list of everything.

Set builder

Group the parts of one door into a set with a count per door.

Finish and batch

A finish field and a batch note, so matching parts ship together.

Weight and handing checks

Rated load on each part checked against the door entered.

Project ordering by room

A schedule that splits quantities by floor or room.

Users and permissions

Who works in the system, and what each can do.

Specification desk

Builds door sets for architects and builders.

Warehouse team

Packs by room and keeps batches together.

Contractor

Orders for a project and receives parts sorted by room.

Integrations

What it would connect to.

An integration is confirmed only after its API, access and scope are checked. A connection that updates on a schedule is described as scheduled, not real-time.

  • Maker catalogues, loaded from sheets
  • Your stock system, through an export
  • Courier or local transport, once rates and access are confirmed
Implementation

How the work runs, and what we need from you.

What you provide

  • Your series with finishes and rated loads
  • How builders send door schedules
  • Your batch handling at the warehouse

Define the set

A door set is agreed as a list of part types, so a builder can order by door.

Try a project order

A past building is replayed to see how the room split reads.

Deliverables

What you receive.

  • A set builder
  • Finish and batch fields
  • A project ordering schedule
Measurement

How progress is judged.

Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.

  • Orders with a finish mismatch
  • Project deliveries sorted by room
India and international

Selling at home and abroad.

Finish names and series differ between makers and countries, and fire and safety ratings for doors follow local rules. The catalogue holds what you list, and your adviser reviews each market.

The wider requirements for hardware & building supplies are on the Hardware & Building Supplies page.

Configured implementation

A commerce system selected at scoping runs the store, extended for specification search and trade accounts. The yard side can already run on a GullySystem product, which is linked on its own.

Set building, finish fields and project splits are catalogue and ordering settings that the category solution covers.

Common questions

Questions about door hardware e-commerce.

Can the site make sure a handle matches my hinges?

It matches the finish and series you have entered. The buyer still checks the sample or the drawing.

Can a builder order by door schedule?

Yes. A sheet in an agreed layout is read and split by room or floor.

Do you check the weight rating?

The rated load you enter is compared to the door weight the buyer gives. The check helps and does not replace a fitter’s judgement.
