Door and Hardware Takeoff Software for Openings Estimators
Togal.AI is cloud-based takeoff software that helps you find, count, and organize doors, frames, and other openings across your drawing set. Search for opening types, measure what you need, organize quantities by classification, and export them into the estimating workflow you already use.
Door and hardware takeoff software that's 4X faster
Togal.AI helps you find and count openings across the set, keep different types organized, and connect your takeoff quantities to your estimating workflow.
What slows door and hardware estimators down
Takeoff gets difficult when a single count has to stay accurate across every drawing set, revision, and trade.
Door information is spread across the set.
Opening marks may appear on digital plans, elevations, schedules, and details, while hardware information lives in the specifications.
Opening types need to stay separate.
Singles, pairs, frame types, and other conditions can have different pricing and hardware requirements.
Plans and schedules need to be reconciled.
When the count on the drawings doesn't match the schedule, someone has to track down the difference.
Revisions create rework.
A change to an opening, frame, or door type can mean going back through completed takeoff work.
How Togal runs a door takeoff process, one count per opening type
Count openings by type, not in bulk
Draw a box around a door symbol and Image Search finds that shape everywhere it repeats, so a single-leaf type and a pair come back as separate populations. Text Search does the same from the tag when the drawings label openings by mark. You finish with a count per type, measurements attached, rather than one number to break apart afterwards.
Keep every distinction that affects price
Classifications hold the differences hardware pricing depends on.
Set up one classification per opening type and apply it to every instance.
Group types into classification folders that mirror your hardware groups.
Attach Custom Formulas so a per-opening cost covering material and labor calculates as you measure.
Export by classification, so the file arrives split the way you buy.
Put the spec book to work
Togal.CHAT answers from the documents you uploaded, which is where the hardware scope actually lives. Ask what hardware the job calls for, what door types it uses, or the square footage - answered from your own set rather than the open internet.
Catch the revisions that change your buy
Drawing Comparison flags quantity movement between sets, so a revised plan shows you which openings changed instead of sending you back through the floor.
Update the affected classification instead of recounting the floor.
Send the revised quantities out without rebuilding the export.
Everything Togal measures for doors and hardware
Openings by type
Single-leaf openings
Pairs, counted as openings or leaves
Sliding, bifold, and pocket doors
Overhead and coiling doors
Access panels and small openings in the same package
Borrowed lites, relites, and door glazing tied to an opening
Frames and related work
Frame counts by profile
Frame perimeter by opening
Rough opening dimensions where drawn
Wall type at each opening, from the plan
Organized for pricing
Quantities split by classification, one per opening type
Classification folders mirroring hardware groups
Per-opening cost through Custom Formulas
Counts by floor, building, or phase
From takeoff to estimate
Counts have to arrive in the estimate split the way you priced them, or someone rebuilds the list by hand. An integrated handoff streamlines that step and keeps project costs tied to the count they came from.
Excel export
Quantities come out grouped and filtered by classification, so opening types stay separate in the sheet or in whatever estimating software you price in.
Ediphi
A native integration maps quantities to Unit Price Catalog items, with estimator review before anything is accepted.
Zebel
Sends quantities into historical cost data for conceptual and GMP-level pricing.
ServiceTitan
Suits trade contractors who run estimating next to service and project work.
What else comes with Togal
Bring the hardware consultant in
Unlimited external collaboration means a hardware supplier or a consultant can work inside the project with you, with permissions set per person, without buying a seat of their own.
Open the same job anywhere
Nothing needs installing. A takeoff started at a desk opens on a tablet during a site walk, showing the file everyone else is looking at.
See the opening in context
The interactive 3D view puts an opening against the wall it sits in, which is worth a look before you commit to a frame profile.
Clear the security review
SOC 2 Type II with enterprise SSO, and drawings stay inside your own account.
Who Togal is built for
Togal suits distributors and installers who quote doors, frames, and hardware on commercial work, and the general contractors pricing openings before the sub numbers arrive. Both sides work the same clock on competitive bids.
Distributors that serve several GCs at once feel it first, since the hours come back as more bids out and more projects quoted. A dedicated estimator is the clearest signal of fit, whether that is one person covering every bid or a precon group splitting a job several ways.

How Togal compares on price and control
Questions door and hardware estimators ask
Does Togal assign hardware sets automatically?
No. Togal counts and classifies openings, and you decide which hardware group each type belongs to Togal.CHAT will pull what the specification says about hardware so you are not reading two documents at once, and classification folders let you organize types by group once you have made the call.
What happens when the plan and the door schedule disagree?
Togal gives you a faster way to find and review the openings across the drawing set. Use Text Search or Image Search to locate the relevant openings, then compare the quantities against the door schedule.
The estimator still makes the final call when the documents don't agree.
Can Togal answer questions about the spec book?
Yes. Togal.CHAT reads the documents you upload and answers from them, including questions like which door types the job calls for or what hardware is specified. It does not query the open internet, so answers come from your project. Keeping the specification and the drawings in one place means your focus stays on the count rather than the document hunt.
Does Togal price the openings?
Togal handles the takeoff side: finding, counting, measuring, and organizing openings.
You can use Custom Formulas for calculations within your takeoff, then export quantities to Excel or supported estimating platforms such as Ediphi, Zebel, and ServiceTitan for the rest of your pricing workflow.
How is my project data handled?
Drawings stay inside your account, walled off rather than published anywhere. Togal is SOC 2 Type II compliant, which audits systems and processes over time, and enterprise SSO is supported for teams managing access through their own IT policies.
