Meranti Door Frame 900 × 2032mm – 56 × 80mm Section | SANS 545 Compliant

Meranti Timber Door Frame — 900mm × 2032mm | 56 × 80mm Section

This solid Meranti timber door frame is designed to accommodate a 900mm wide door — the minimum clear opening width required under South Africa’s National Building Regulations for wheelchair-accessible doorways. Compliant with SANS 545:2018, it is the go-to frame for inclusive residential and commercial builds, renovations, and accessibility upgrades.

Supplied unassembled for easy transport and on-site fitting, the frame is crafted from solid Meranti — a dense, stable hardwood widely used in South African door and window joinery for its strength, workability, and paint-ready surface.

Key Features

• SANS 545:2018 compliant – Meets South African National Building Regulations for accessible doorway widths
• 900mm clear internal width – Provides the minimum opening required for wheelchair and mobility aid access
• Solid Meranti timber – Dense, stable hardwood with excellent screw-holding strength; suitable for painting or sealing
• 56mm × 80mm frame section – Robust profile that accommodates standard wall thicknesses and provides a solid fixing surface
• Supplied unassembled – Flat-packed for easier transport; assembled on site to suit your wall opening
• Available in custom dimensions – Non-standard openings can be quoted on request

Why Choose a 900mm Door Frame?

Under SANS 10400-S (Facilities for Persons with Disabilities) and SANS 545:2018, a minimum clear opening width of 850mm is required for accessible doorways — with 900mm being the widely adopted standard in South African residential and commercial construction. A 900mm internal frame paired with a 900mm door leaf provides the full clear opening needed for standard wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility aids, and future-proofs your build against accessibility compliance requirements.

Ideal Applications

• Accessible bathrooms, bedrooms, and entrance doorways
• Retirement villages, care facilities, and assisted living developments
• Commercial buildings requiring SANS-compliant accessible routes
• Residential renovations and accessibility upgrades
• New builds designed to universal access standards

Installation Notes

This frame is supplied unassembled — the head and two jambs are delivered as separate components for on-site assembly. Ensure your rough opening is at least 988mm wide × 2076mm high to accommodate the external frame dimensions. Use treated timber packers to plumb and level the frame before fixing. Prime and paint all surfaces, including end grain, before or immediately after installation to prevent moisture absorption.
