Communicating Frame

A communicating frame is a back-to-back hollow metal frame assembly used where two adjacent spaces share a common wall and each space requires its own independently operable door within the same opening. Common in hotel suites, hospital patient rooms, offices, and any setting where adjoining rooms must be able to open to each other or remain independently secured. HMF Express communicating frames are fabricated as a single integrated assembly with two door stops facing in opposite directions.
