Door Profiling Service
Digital frame measurement for a precise architectural opening 2D profile. This makes for accurate door sizing and hardware cutouts.
The creation of a precise architectural opening 2D profile. This is generated by a digital measuring of the frame following installation. Exact dimensions of the frame as well as hinge and latch positions are accounted for.
This data is input into a CNC machine during the door manufacturing stage with accurate dimensions accounted for and hardware preparations pre-cut. The door arrives on-site with no further preparation required before hanging.
3 Step Process
3 Step Process
Door profiling with Spence includes three steps from initial documentation through to precise manufacture.
1. Initial Documentation
Project door set information is documented (door type/handing, scheduled hardware, clearance requirements, and floor type and thickness). With this information, a technician will arrange a site measure.
2. On-Site Measurement
The technician will digitally measure the frames by defining points around each frame. A 2D profile* of each frame is created to accurately mirror the frame shape allowing the correct gap for installation. This data is to be sent to the door manufacturing team.
3. Door Manufacture
Data gathered from profiling is input into a CNC machine. Doors are manufactured to the precise dimensions outlined and hardware cutouts are made. Pre-priming of doors is also available for minimal fuss once delivered. Doors are delivered to the job site ready for hanging.
* As this is a 2D profile, note that it will not recognise axial twisting in the frame.
Cutout Configurations
Cutout Configurations
Common options for door leaf cutouts with more available on request. Generic cutouts displayed however all prep is made with your precise hardware specifcation in mind.
Hinge & Latch
Side of door routings for the hinge set in any instance where they are not surface-mounted. Additionally, a routing for the latch along the door's leading edge and the latch plate on the corresponding section of the frame.
Door Closer
A top-of-door routing to fit a door closer mechanism. The cutout makes it possible to conceal the closer from view for a premium aesthetic.
Bottom / Drop Seal
A bottom-of-door routing for the fitting of a drop seal. This permits concealed fitting for visual purposes whilst closing off the underside gap.
Security Hole
A front-of-door cutout bridging the door's faces for a security viewing peephole to be fitted.
Benefits
Benefits
The advantages that come from having your door profiled and prepared prior to arrival on-site.
Time Efficient
The door installer simply needs to hang the door with no preparations to be made as they were already completed in the manufacturing stage.
Compliance
Profiling precision assists with AS1905 Fire Door compliance wherein no greater than a 3mm gap between door and frame is permitted.
Cost Efficient
Save on cost by saving on labour. The reduction in on-site labour allows for a quicker submission of progress claims and to move on to the next project.
Less Mess
The setup and tools typically required in preparing a door are eliminated. The result is a streamlined process that cuts down on clean up.
Safe Site
A safe job site is the result of needing fewer people and tools on-site. Reduced dust is a positive for the health and safety of workers.
Precision
The profiling machinery has the exact dimensions of hardware input into its database. This is transcribed onto the door with engineered accuracy in the routings.
