Doors are identified by a number of other designations shown on the floor plan (Figure 1). These are referenced to a door schedule that contains more detailed information about each door. Door schedules consist of two parts. The first part is in a tabular form, and the second part is a graphic representation of each type of door. In a residential or small project, doors are marked with each number for the type of doors on the floor plan, not with door numbers defined by room numbers. For example a door marked with number 1 means the door type 1. Door schedules for residential or small projects or relatively contain less information than big projects or commercial projects. A typical residential door schedule in a table contains the mark, number (quantity), size (nominal size), type of door, material, and remarks (Figure 1). It is commonly followed by a graphic representation of door types such as door elevations (Table – 1 Figure 2). Door elevations in a graphic representation form are drawn at a 1/4"=1'-0" scale in general and may include dimensions.(Table - 2 ) More complicated door schedules may contain the mark, number (quantity), door opening size (nominal), door type, door material, frame material, frame finish, and remarks.

In a commercial or big project, door numbers are defined by the room numbers. Typically the door numbers are the same as the room number, or marked with an additional number or letter for a more complicated project. For instance, 100-1 or 100-A can be used for the first door in a room with the room number 100, 100-2 or 100-B for the second door, and so forth. More detailed information is necessary including door number, door type number, door opening size, door type, door material, door finish, frame type, frame material, frame finish, frame hardware, frame fire rating, and remarks (Table - 3). Besides a table and a graphic representation of the door type, a commercial door schedule also contains notations for general notes, each door type, door finish, frame type, frame finish, hardware, or detail drawings for different types of doors or frame constructions. An abbreviation key should be provided when abbreviations are used such as WD (wood), ST (Stain), or MT'L (Metal) in door schedules.
