Hospital Stops and Door Frames

A stop on a door frame is the integral or applied projecting surface against which a door slab rests when fully closed. It prevents the door from swinging through the opening and provides a continuous sealing edge. In commercial hollow metal assemblies, stops ensure proper latching engagement, structural positioning, and sound, light, or environmental protection across diverse building openings.

Our frame anchors, hardware components, and hospital stop configurations are compatible with commercial hollow metal steel gauges ranging from 16 gauge to 12 gauge. This comprehensive gauge range provides structural stability for standard commercial interior doors as well as heavier, high-impact industrial, institutional, and radiation-shielded frame installations.

Yes, our product lineup supports fire-rated door and frame installations. Custom Metal Products manufactures UL-labeled fire-rated hollow metal doors and frames, ensuring assemblies satisfy life-safety egress requirements and commercial building codes. Components such as field splice hardware, corner connections, and structural anchors are built to maintain frame integrity under tested fire conditions.

Yes, our frames and hardware brackets are engineered to support lead-lined frame assemblies and radiation-shielding doors. Because lead-lined openings carry significant additional weight, using heavy-duty hardware compatible with 16-gauge to 12-gauge steel frames provides the necessary structural rigidity to prevent frame deflection while maintaining clean healthcare design standards.

We offer responsive quick-ship manufacturing programs to resolve unexpected schedule conflicts or job site misses. Production programs are available with one-day, two-day, three-day, and five-day lead times. Standard frame production schedules generally range from five to seven business days, supported by direct dedicated delivery route options.

We provide both standard and custom anchor designs tailored for securing welded metal frames to various wall structures. Supported frame assemblies include pocket door systems, double egress openings, engineered opening designs, corner connections, horizontal brackets, vertical brackets, and field splice hardware suited for unique commercial architectural conditions.
