Frame Components

Hardware reinforcements and accessories factory-installed in your hollow metal frame — ensuring proper hardware performance and a clean installation.

Specifying frame components at the time of order ensures factory-precision installation. All reinforcements are located per ANSI/BHMA standards, and all preps are confirmed prior to shipment.

Strike Reinforcing

Heavy-gauge steel strike plate reinforcement for cylindrical, mortise, and deadbolt locksets.

Hinge Reinforcing

Full-length hinge reinforcement channel welded into the jamb for proper door weight transfer.

Closer Reinforcing

Header-mounted reinforcement for surface-mounted door closers. Parallel arm and regular arm configurations.

Silencers

Rubber bumper silencers (typically 3 per single frame) installed at factory to cushion door closing.

Stop Bead

Steel stop bead welded inside the frame to limit door swing — used in lieu of a floor stop in some applications.

Dust Box

Factory-installed dust box in the door rabbet at the bottom of the strike jamb to seal out debris.
