Elevations that require hardware preps to be placed on more than one rabbet include communicating frames in which a door is placed on both sides of a double rabbet jamb, and frames with multiple door openings where a mullion has doors both to the left and to the right, as in the elevation with the double sided mullions pictured blow:

Several component functions have been added to the system to support these cases (communicating frames are handled slightly differently and will be covered in another post):

MULLION_HINGE_BTM_HINGE_TOP

MULLION_HINGE_BTM_STRIKE_TOP

MULLION_HINGE_TOP_STRIKE_BTM

MULLION_STRIKE_BTM_STRIKE_TOP

These component functions are in addition to the conventional ones with hardware on one rabbet.

The resulting flat would look something like:

It is also possible that one door has different hardware requirements (different hinge size, location, set-backs, quantity, etc; or different strike information) than the other.  There is a technique to specify different hardware requirements for one rabbet than for the other, and that is reviewed in another post.
