Structural Door Frames

Structural frame systems used where the door, opening and surrounding wall construction need to be considered together. This page is a canonical component topic: other door pages can point here for the shared technical overview while keeping their own content focused on the specific door or project.

How this component fits into the door system

Doors work best when the leaf, frame, opening, hardware, finish and any automation are specified as connected parts. The useful route is to start with the application, then move through compatible materials, sizes, finishes and related components.

Opening conditionCheck the existing wall, opening, support and finishes before deciding what can be reused.
Door loadsLeaf size, weight, movement and hardware determine how much support the surrounding construction may need.
Build-upCoordinate plasterboard, cladding, cavities, trims, sub-frames and visible finishes around the door.
ServicesAllow for wiring, controls, sensors or access panels where the door system needs them.
Installation sequenceStructural preparation and concealed items usually need to be resolved before final finishes.
Specialist reviewWhere engineering, certification or regulated performance is required, final details must follow the relevant project professionals and manufacturers.

Door Fixings & Brackets

Fixings, brackets and support interfaces used to connect door systems with frames, sub-frames and surrounding construction. The best option depends on how this element connects with the door type, opening, surrounding construction, hardware and the way the door will be used day to day.
