hardware schedule

[arkitek2ss]

anyone have examples of their door hardware schedules they are willing to share?

Requesting you to please google it.

Share one sample for you [taken from internet]

I was thinking along the line of this: 

 

wondering if there is another way of doing this or different version.  When we used Autocad, we listed each set (below) (manually).

Yes.

You create a Key Schedule for the hardware sets. In this schedule each row is a set of hardware, and the "key" values are numeric, or even something like Set #1, Set #2, Set #3, etc.

Then in your door schedule you add a column for the key value. The values available here will be in a drop-down list containing the key values from the key schedule.

Plenty of youtube how-to videos available.

Yep.  I use a Key Schedule for this.  But instead of set the Key values to numbers or codes, I make them spell out the function of the hardware, such as: [Classrm, dbl] or [Stor, 1-hr], etc...  It so when someone picks the key to assign a hardware group to a door, they can easily select the right one without looking at a CIA code sheet interpreting different group numbers.  The actual group numbers are still showing but in another column in the schedule.

That is what I did.  so when I select a door and want to change the hardware set, I just go into the door properties and change the HDset #.

Ooooo good idea Toan. Only in my case, "someone" doesn't pick them. It's only me here to pick them, so it doesn't make much difference.

Can you post a graphic of the end result of what you're saying here?  I think you're talking about using generic industry terms for the "lockset" column instead of "IVES 2038499S71938947381WS8292KWK."  Thanks!

Instead of a hardware key saying 1, it says Hardware set for Double door, Store room, 1 hour rated, 180 deg swing, etc... Something like that. So when an user choose this key, Revit will populate the actual hardware group number with the code such as A1, or whatever defined in the key schedule.

OH.  I didn't read it like that.  We use the "dot matrix" old school method that is clunky to read and difficult to conceptually associate commonalities.  Your approach almost feels like a blend of sets and dots.  Or, maybe more of a hardware set in reverse.

I have  the matrix behind the scene for coordination with specs.

Thank you very much for sharing.  This is almost exactly how I do door, window, and storefront types and that matrix/legend goes right on the sheet.  I hadn't really considered applying it to door hardware.  This might make our groups' heads explode but is interesting to see in practice.
