Coordinate the opening before installation
Compare the opening number, handing, dimensions, wall type and thickness, frame anchors, finished-floor elevation, door and frame preparations, and hardware set against approved documents and delivered material.
Late conflicts can involve several trades. A clear responsibility matrix should identify who furnishes, prepares, mounts, wires, powers, programs, tests, and accepts each electrified or automatic-operator component.

- Wall and frame anchors
- Handing

New construction, TI, and replacement have different field risks
New construction emphasizes opening readiness, wall and frame sequencing, protection, delivered-material verification, hardware coordination, and punch. Tenant improvements add demolition, existing conditions, occupancy, and finish integration.
Replacement or occupied-facility work requires diagnosis, access planning, safe turnover, and a clear distinction between a physical opening problem and electrical, security, glass, locksmith, or inspection work.
Accessibility, egress, and rated openings stay with the governing documents
A-1 installs and adjusts within the assigned scope and can identify a field conflict. The design professional, approved documents, authority having jurisdiction, and qualified inspection providers control applicable requirements and acceptance.
The page does not claim fire-door inspection or certification, engineering, locksmith service, or a guaranteed response model.
Fort Collins permit and repair handoff
Commercial permits and inspections depend on the address, occupancy, approved scope, and contract documents. Confirm the current City or other AHJ path before installation.
For an occupied commercial door that will not close, latch, or operate correctly, use the diagnostic guide and send the opening information, symptoms, photos, and requested field scope through the estimate path.
