FINAL: EXTERIOR DOORS

PADLOCK WITH CODE DIAL

Specifically for any padlocks that may be used on a door to the crawl space or any exterior structures: If any padlocks must be used, we want to use the ones with a code dial, NOT keys.

DOORS

AT THE START OF THE PROJECT: Put the keys in a lockbox that is attached to the back of the house (email bocreceipts@gmail.com the code you use so that we can record it in CoConstruct).

For multi unit properties: there should be 1 lockbox PER UNIT. Each lockbox should have a different code. DO NOT put all the keys to all the units in the same lockbox. Each lock box should only have a key for the unit in the building it is assigned to.

EXTERIOR DOORS

We only have the doors with the half moons in the top part of the door. They should have anti-kick strips on them. Please note that we use passageway door knobs only. The deadbolts (Kwikset smart key) and ALL keys to a house should match.

The mailbox is mounted, and we put a wood frame behind it.

All EXTERIOR DOORS WITHOUT a large window should have the following:

Kwikset deadbolt, with a smart key

All EXTERIOR DOORS with a large window should have the following:

Kwikset double key deadbolt, with a smart key

Defiant passageway knob.

Passage door knobs are similar to dummy door knobs. They don't lock but are used to open doors and go between rooms. Passage door knobs are ideal for interior hallways, closets, and other rooms that don't need privacy locks. They're also called unkeyed knobs.

ANTI-KICK IN STRIPS

Here is an example of why we use the anti-kick in strips:

PEEP HOLE

Peep Hole AND Window in the top ¼ of the door. The glass should not come down so far, that if broken out, the door can be unlocked.

DOOR STOP

2 per door. On the hinges, the metal color should match the doorknobs, which are white.

Generally, all exterior doors should swing towards the closest wall perpendicular to the wall the door is framed into.

DOOR COLORS

Doors may remain unpainted.

However, if they are painted, they should be of approved colors.

Here's the link to the Approved Paint Colors.

PRE HUNG DOOR

A prehung door is a door that's sold by the manufacturer “ready-to-go.” These slab doors already come with hinges attached to a three-sided frame and, while they may need some additional features, are generally sold as a complete package.
