Kerfed Frame

Kerfed frames feature a saw-cut groove (kerf) in the stop that accepts a compression weatherstrip or smoke seal gasket. The kerf provides a concealed channel for the seal, creating a clean appearance while providing positive smoke and air sealing at the door-to-frame interface. Available for both single and pair door configurations.
