Recessed Drywall Door Frames

The frame around a door is commonly called a door frame or door jamb assembly. It supports the door, hinges and hardware while forming the perimeter of the opening. Commercial hollow metal frames may be welded, cut-and-notch or supplied for specialty applications such as pocket doors, double egress, sidelites, transoms and borrowed-light openings.

Available assembly options include fully welded and cut-and-notch, also called KD, frames. The appropriate choice depends on project specifications, delivery requirements, installation conditions and whether the frame needs a specialised configuration. Custom Metal Products also offers standard and custom profiles for commercial openings.
