What Is Door Specification?
Tuesday, 26 May, 2026

Specification experts Dikesh Pattni and Marc Ameryckx from ASSA ABLOY's European team break down what door specification really means in construction. They cover the difference between prescriptive and performance-based specifications, why reusing specs from previous projects is risky, and what happens when vague specs like "steel door" lead to costly mismatches on site. With real-world examples, including a contractor who installed a €50 electric strike when the owner expected a multi-point motor lock, this episode makes the case for involving specification experts early in the design process. Practical guidance for architects, contractors, and building project teams.
