DESIGN:
All standard profiles detailed may vary
and may be
combined to conform to architectural designs.
MATERIAL:
Steel
frames can be formed of 12, 14, 16 & 18
gauge
prime quality cold rolled steel. All frames can be manufactured
using "galvaneel ™" metal which is rust prohibitive
steel.
CONSTRUCTION:
 |
Welded steel frames are
press brake formed true and sharp
jamb and head sections are assembled with a tongue and
groove arrangement with miters accurately fitted, fully
welded and ground smooth. |
|
Angle spreaders are welded
to bottoms of the frames to
assure safe shipment and perfect alignment, ready for
setting in the field. |
|
A minimum of three anchors
per frame leg are provided for
securing the frames to the walls and floor anchors are
provided for securing the frame to the floor. |
|
Knockdown frames are constructed
using the same methods
as welded frames with the addition of integral tabs which
can lock together in the field, as well as compression tabs
to lock the frames to the drywall. The tab design prohibits
the frame head from rising and keeps all members aligned. |
|
Various anchoring systems
are available such as wood stud
anchors (z-clips), compression anchors, corrugated anchors
for masonry, punch and dimple (high hats) to accept
expansion bolts for masonry, etc. |
|
Various trims available
to fit any situation encountered. |
|
Various throat sizes available
upon request. |
REINFORCEMENT:
Steel frames are accurately mortised for
hinge
and strike plates according to hardware specifications.
Reinforcement is provided with steel plates
which are welded to
frame, precisely drilled and tapped to
accommodate template
hardware. Reinforcements are also provided
as required for door
closers, pivots, concealed hardware,
brackets and any other
hardware.
