How To Install Steel Door Frames

Proper Frame Installation is Important

Proper frame installation is critically important for the operation of a door opening.

Do it right and you’re set, but do it wrong and you’re bound to have issues.

Misaligned frames can prevent doors from opening, closing, latching and swinging smoothly, which can then compromise fire-ratings, security and safety.

The videos below give complete and thorough instructions for steel frame installation in stud walls and masonry walls.  They are produced by the Steel Door Institute, a group that represents and sets standards for steel door and frame manufacturers.
