The 900mm frame is a wider-than-standard size, most commonly specified where wheelchair access or additional clearance is required. If you need a standard-width frame, see our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/meranti-door-frame-813-2032mm-44-70mm-section\"\u003e813mm Meranti Door Frame\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is a 900mm door frame recommended for wheelchair access?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 900mm internal clear width provides sufficient space for most standard wheelchairs and mobility aids to pass through comfortably. SANS 10400-S recommends a minimum clear opening width of 850mm for accessible doorways — the 900mm frame exceeds this, providing additional clearance for ease of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat size door leaf fits this frame?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis frame accepts a 900mm wide × 2032mm high door leaf. The external frame footprint is 967mm wide × 2064mm high, so your rough opening should be at least this size to allow for packers and adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the frame come assembled?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The frame is supplied unassembled — the head and jambs are delivered as separate components. This makes transport easier and allows for on-site assembly and precise fitting to your opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the frame section size and why does it matter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame section is 44mm deep × 70mm wide. The 70mm width suits standard single-skin brick or block walls. If your wall is thicker, you may need to add a timber sub-frame or extension jambs. The 44mm depth accommodates a standard door hardware profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I paint or stain this frame?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Meranti timber has a smooth, close-grained surface that accepts water-based and oil-based paints, primers, stains, and sealants. For best results, apply a primer coat before your topcoat, and ensure all end grain is sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo you offer custom sizes?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
