813 × 2032mm Door Jamb — 42 × 120mm Meranti Timber Section
A wide-section door jamb designed for thicker walls and masonry openings, the 813 × 2032mm Meranti door jamb is the go-to choice when a standard 68mm or 80mm frame section simply won’t span the full wall depth. The 120mm section accommodates walls from brick-and-plaster construction commonly found across South Africa — from Johannesburg’s double-skin brick homes to Cape Town’s older masonry buildings. Supplied unassembled and untreated for straightforward on-site fitting.

Why Choose a 120mm Section Jamb?
Standard door frames typically come in 68mm or 80mm sections, which suit cavity or thinner drywalled walls. The 120mm section jamb is needed when the combined wall thickness — including plaster on both faces — exceeds what a narrower frame can cover. It provides a clean, flush finish on both sides of the wall with no unsightly gaps. If you’re unsure which section suits your wall, measure the full wall thickness including plaster before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this door jamb?
The door opening size is 813mm wide × 2032mm high. The outer frame dimensions (wall-to-wall) are 873mm wide × 2065mm high. The timber section is 42 × 120mm.
What is a door jamb and how does it differ from a door frame?
In South African trade usage, a door jamb typically refers to a wider-section frame — usually 100mm or more — used where walls are thicker than a standard frame can accommodate. A standard door frame typically comes in 44–68mm sections. Both serve the same structural purpose: lining the door opening and providing a surface for the door to close against.
What timber is this jamb made from?
This door jamb is manufactured from Meranti, a durable hardwood widely used for door frames and jambs in South Africa.
Is this jamb supplied assembled or unassembled?
It is supplied unassembled and untreated — as loose components — for on-site assembly and installation by a carpenter or installer.
Does this jamb include a door?
No — this is a frame only, supplied without a door. Browse compatible 813 × 2032mm interior doors available separately on doorsdirect.co.za.
How do I know if I need a 120mm section jamb?
Measure your wall thickness including plaster on both faces. If the total exceeds the section width of a standard frame (typically 68–80mm), you will need a wider section jamb. For very thick walls, a 120mm section is the most common solution in South African residential construction.
Is this jamb available in custom sizes or wall thicknesses?
Yes — this jamb is available in custom widths, heights, and wall thicknesses. Send us your door opening dimensions and wall thickness for a quote via info@doorsdirect.co.za or WhatsApp: 087 012 5283.
What is the lead time?
