Security Rough in

Location

Occupation

I’m looking for some help on a rough-in for door security? I have a few glass and aluminum frame sections that need roughed in for card reader access, and hinge and mortise wire feeds. I have never done these door types previously? Any help would be appreciated. I’m including photos and door rough in detail

We do a lot of these. Usually you rough this in before the door and frames are in. But I usually do is run half inch flex down, though metal stud channel about where the hinge will be and then pull string through. I usually support it with someone hole straps. It gets a little difficult when the doors have already been framed in. As for the stuff on top of the door, we usually drill like a 3/8 hole and run flex down to the top of the frame and stop it and then pull string through that flex from the box to that 3/8 hole.
