Meranti Door Frame — 762 × 2032mm Opening | 44 × 70mm Timber Section
A solid meranti timber door frame for standard 762mm × 2032mm door openings, supplied unassembled and ready to cut, fit, and finish on site. The 44mm × 70mm timber section provides a robust, traditional frame profile suited to both interior and exterior applications.
Meranti is a widely used hardwood species in South African joinery — stable, workable, and receptive to paint, stain, or varnish. It offers good durability for door frame applications and is a trusted choice for builders and contractors.
⚠️ Please Note: This frame suits a 762mm wide door — narrower than the standard 813mm South African door opening. Confirm your door leaf width and opening size before ordering.

What Does "Unassembled" Mean?
The frame is supplied as individual components — two vertical jambs and a head piece — cut to length and ready to assemble on site. This allows your installer to fit the frame precisely to your opening, make any necessary adjustments, and apply your chosen finish before or after installation.
Interior vs Exterior Use
This frame is suitable for both interior and exterior door openings. For exterior applications, ensure all surfaces (including end grain) are sealed with an appropriate exterior primer and paint or varnish system before installation to protect against moisture ingress.
Available in Purpose-Made Sizes
If your opening falls outside the standard 762mm × 2032mm size, this frame is available in purpose-made dimensions. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size door does this frame suit?
This frame is designed for a 762mm wide × 2032mm high door leaf. Note that 762mm is narrower than the standard 813mm South African door — confirm your door leaf width before ordering. The external frame dimensions are 830mm wide × 2064mm high.
Is this frame supplied assembled or flat-pack?
It is supplied unassembled — as individual components ready to fit on site. Your installer will assemble and fix the frame into the opening.
Can this frame be used for an exterior door?
Yes. This meranti frame is suitable for both interior and exterior applications. For exterior use, all surfaces must be fully primed and sealed before installation.
What timber section does this frame use?
The finished timber section is 44mm × 70mm — a standard profile for residential door frames in South Africa.
Can I get this frame in a custom size?
Yes. This frame is available in purpose-made sizes. Contact us with your opening dimensions and we will advise on availability and lead time.
What is the lead time?
Lead time is 10–14 days from order confirmation.
Does the frame include a door stop?
Yes. The frame components are supplied with a rebated door stop — the stop is machined directly into the timber section, so the door leaf closes against a solid rebate without the need for a separate planted stop bead.
