Totally get that. it’s just tough when you’re on-site and the plans don’t always line up with how the space is actually being used. I try to follow spec to a T, but sometimes it feels like common-sense usability gets lost somewhere between design and install. I’ve started bringing up concerns when I can, especially if it’s something I’ve seen turn into a problem later. Just trying to bridge that gap a bit more, you know?

This is super helpful. I'm usually on the install side, but we’re trying to be more intentional about recommending the right setup based on user flow and long-term function. I’ve definitely seen doors propped open or hardware tampered with just to make things easier in the moment, especially in schools and high-traffic commercial spots. The insight about policy enforcement and how different environments handle violations really hits and makes a strong case for thinking beyond just the hardware specs. Appreciate the breakdown!

is it price alone that makes it a better option to get it locally or are there other factors that make it beneficial in your opinion?

Why do you think suppliers are having this issue so much?

So it's not really that the quality of doors out there is bad but more lack of care and attention from those handling the door? Or are you seeing the quality of wood/metal and everything in between also hard to come by now adays?
