How Our Closet Doors Save Time on Job Sites
In fast-paced construction environments, every day saved contributes to cost efficiency, smoother scheduling, and quicker turnover. As developers and general contractors seek ways to reduce labor hours without compromising quality, even the smallest design elements can play a major role in operational efficiency.
At Landquist & Son, we understand that closet doors are often one of the last items to be installed — but they don’t have to be a bottleneck. That’s why we’ve engineered our doors and systems with job-site speed and simplicity in mind.
🔩 1. Preassembled
One of the biggest time-savers we offer is our preassembled door systems. These arrive ready to install, minimizing on-site prep and eliminating the need to coordinate multiple trades for frame assembly, door hanging, and hardware installation. Our closet doors come with all hardware necessary for the door to function, having about 90% of the door fully assembled upon delivery.
Impact: Reduces installation time by up to 20% compared to traditional pre-hung closet doors systems that require a significant amount of shimming.
📦 2. Streamlined Delivery and Staging
Coordinating deliveries to match construction phases can be a logistical headache. Our team works with your site supervisor or project manager to deliver closet doors in sequenced batches, allowing you to stage doors by floor, unit, or building phase. The skids and doors will be labeled to their locations, making it crystal clear on the job site where each door should be placed. The hardware is also delivered with the door, streamlining the process.
Impact: Minimizes material handling time and reduces clutter on job sites.
🛠️ 3. Simplified Installation for Standard Crews
We design our closet doors for quick installation by standard finish carpentry crews — no specialized tools or training required. Our systems feature aluminum top tracks, intuitive hardware, and simplified mounting brackets with installation videos ready for the crews.
Impact: Enables installation by general finish crews without the need for subcontracting specialty installers.
🔄 4. Fewer Punch List Issues
Closet doors are notorious for last-minute punch list items like misalignment, poor operation, or damaged hardware. We've addressed this by:
Using durable, job-site-resistant materials
Providing factory-finished options to avoid painting or finishing delays
Incorporating adjustable hardware for quick on-site fine-tuning
Impact: Fewer callbacks and faster project closeouts.
🧱 5. Consistent Sizing and Tolerances
Because we manufacture to precise tolerances and standard sizing, our doors integrate seamlessly with your framing layouts. This eliminates time spent modifying openings or reworking rough-ins that don’t match inconsistent door units. Landquist’s closets systems are manufactured to the nearest 1/4” in width and height, and do NOT require framing.
Impact: Speeds up drywall build outs, keeping multiple trades on schedule.
📈 The Bottom Line
For developers and contractors managing dozens or hundreds of units, small time savings multiply quickly. By choosing closet doors that install faster, perform better, and reduce rework, you’re not just finishing a unit — you’re improving your bottom line.
If you're looking for closet door solutions that match the pace and quality your projects demand, let's talk. We’ll help you specify the right systems and deliver them on time, every time.
