meets the brief.

Application possibilities

  • Commercial entrance openings
  • Hotel circulation and interior doorways
  • Architectural refurbishment

Options to discuss

  • Single or double opening layouts
  • Jamb depth, face width and return geometry
  • Corner joints and assembly arrangement
  • Hardware preparation subject to assembly review
Technical considerations

Specify the detail.

Distinguish a functioning door frame from a decorative cover before specifying. Provide the finished opening, wall build-up, door leaf weight, swing, hardware schedule and required clearances. Anchorage and reinforcement need project-specific review.

A little more detail

Questions, answered.

Is a decorative surround the same as a door frame?

No. A decorative surround covers or frames an opening visually. A functioning frame interfaces with the door, hardware and supporting construction. State which scope your project requires.

What should a door frame enquiry include?

Include an opening schedule, dimensioned sections, wall construction, leaf details, hardware requirements, quantities and installation location.

Are these fire-rated frames?

No fire rating is claimed on this website. Where a rated assembly is required, submit the specification for review and obtain evidence for the exact complete assembly before ordering.

Installation coordination

Coordinate the opening.

Before fabrication or site fixing, connect the door schedule with the current wall and floor information. Confirm which party is responsible for each interface.

Review the material and site conditions
Door frame coordination before approval
Review pointInformation to agree
Survey and datumIdentify the current opening dimensions, wall build-up and finished floor datum. Mark the drawing revision used for review.
Leaf and hardwareCheck swing, handing, hardware preparation, clearances and the agreed door assembly scope together.
Attachment and evidenceHave the project team approve the supporting construction and attachment detail. Confirm evidence for any required fire, acoustic, security or other assembly performance.

A decorative cover must not be treated as a substitute for the functioning frame. No universal anchor detail or rated assembly is provided by this guide.
