Frequently Asked Questions

What door size does this frame suit?
This frame is designed for a standard 813mm wide x 2032mm high door opening, which is one of the most common external door sizes in South African residential construction.

What is the difference between the door opening size and the external frame size?
The door opening (813 x 2032mm) is the clear opening the door leaf occupies. The external frame size (900 x 2076mm) is the overall outer dimension of the assembled frame, which determines the wall opening required during construction.

Why is the section size larger than an interior frame?
External door frames use a heavier 56 x 80mm section (compared to the 44 x 68mm used on interior frames) to provide greater structural rigidity, weather resistance, and security for exterior applications.

Do I need a cill?
A cill is a horizontal timber at the base of the frame that seals the gap between the frame and the floor or threshold, helping to prevent water ingress. It is strongly recommended for exterior doors. Select the appropriate cill option on this product page based on whether your door opens inward or outward.

Is this frame supplied assembled or unassembled?
The frame is supplied unassembled (as individual components) for easier transport and handling. Assembly is straightforward and can be completed on-site prior to installation.

What is the lead time?
Standard lead time is 3–5 working days from order confirmation.
