Steel Door Frame Options
- 16ga. | Extra Heavy-Duty – 16 gauge hollow metal frames are used in heavy-duty and extra-heavy-duty commercial door assemblies.
- 14ga. | Max-Duty – 14 gauge hollow metal frames are used in maximum duty commercial metal door applications.
- CRS – Cold Rolled Steel Door Frames w/ Prime Coat: Cold rolled steel is made by adding tensile force to hot rolled steel sheets. The cold-rolling process increases density, hardens the steel, and produces a consistent surface that’s ideal for commercial doors and frames.
- A40/A60 – Galvanneal Steel Door Frames w/ Prime Coat: Galvanneal steel is produced when cold-rolled steel is dipped into liquified zinc then heated until a new zinc-iron alloy is created. Galveanneal steel doors are known for their improved corrosion resistance and superior paint adhesion properties.
- G90 – Galvanized Steel Door Frames w/ Prime Coat: Galvanized steel is produced when cold rolled steel is dipped in a hot zinc coating. Galvanized steel doors are resistant to corrosion but offer poor paint adhesion compared to annealed steel doors.
- Unequal Rabbet – Double rabbet frames accept doors, panels and glass inside one or more rabbets. Rabbets can be equal or unequal in size. (Standard for Most Commercial Doors
- Unequal Rabbet w/ Backbend Return – Backbend frame returns improve a double rabbetted frame’s ability to slip-over finished walls.
