Doors, Hardware, and Finishing Touches That Make a Space Work

In commercial construction, the details matter. While structural framing and drywall create the foundation of a project, it’s the finishing touches: doors, frames, and hardware that bring a space to life. At PDC Incorporated, we know these final elements do more than complete a project aesthetically. They play a vital role in safety, accessibility, and functionality.

Why Doors and Hardware Deserve More Attention

Doors aren’t just entry points; they’re essential components of a building’s overall design and performance. The right combination of doors, frames, and hardware ensures:

  • Security: Properly specified and installed hardware provides reliable protection.
  • Accessibility: ADA-compliant hardware ensures every user can navigate a space with ease.
  • Durability: High-traffic commercial spaces demand solutions that stand up to daily use.
  • Aesthetics: Doors and finishes that match the surrounding architecture help create cohesive, polished environments.

More Than Just a Finish

Too often, doors and hardware are viewed as an afterthought in the construction process. But overlooking these details can lead to costly delays or rework. By planning for them early, teams can align design intent with real-world performance requirements, saving time and headaches later.

Our Approach

Our teams take a proactive approach to finishing details. or working with project managers to keep schedules on track, we bring the same level of precision and care to the final stages as we do to framing and drywall.

We’ve seen firsthand how the right finishing touches transform a space from “nearly done” to truly complete. From hospitals and schools to office towers and cultural centers, our finishing work ensures spaces aren’t just functional, they’re built to last.

The Bottom Line

Every project’s success is defined by its details. Doors, frames, and hardware may not always grab headlines, but they make a lasting impact on how a space performs and feels. At PDC, we pride ourselves on delivering projects that are strong, sound, and complete, right down to the very last detail. Contact us today to talk about your next project.
