The short answer
Use a door-by-door hardware schedule with approved dimensions, functions, finish and complete set contents. Ethiopian project buyers sourcing from the UAE should ask the installer to confirm suitability before ordering. Similar-looking handles or locks are not enough to establish a replacement match.
What to include in your quotation request
| Requirement | Details to provide |
|---|---|
| Door reference | Location, door type and existing or approved hardware details. |
| Function | Required operation defined by the project professional. |
| Set contents | Lock, handles, hinges and other requested components. |
| Finish and quantity | Approved finish, complete-set count and spares. |
Organise the list by door type
Group doors only where the approved hardware requirements are genuinely the same. Keep specialist or existing replacement conditions separate. Ask the responsible professional to define the required operation and installation details. Retain the door reference on every quotation line so the receiving team can allocate sets accurately. This is more useful than a general request for a large number of locks with no connection to the actual project schedule.
Check a complete set before scaling
Request the exact contents of each proposed hardware set. Identify parts priced separately and have the installer review dimensions and compatibility. For replacement work, provide product references and measurements rather than relying only on photographs. If appearance must match adjacent doors, use an approved finish reference. Record the accepted set so a small mismatch is not multiplied across an entire building order.
Keep keys and receiving records controlled
Agree the information and packaging needed for the buyer to reconcile sets and components. Any keying requirements should be handled through the appropriate project process without publishing sensitive access information. Ask for warranty and support terms and confirm the Ethiopian destination and delivery scope. AAMA can review hardware enquiries against an approved schedule; technical selection and building requirements remain with the responsible project professionals.
Buyer questions
Can I order a replacement lock from a photo?
Use the photo as supporting information, then confirm measurements, references and compatibility with the installer.
