A door jamb refers to the thickness of your door frame with all of the interior and exterior finishings. This is not the frame itself, but is solely the measurement of how thick the door frame and finishings are; this should correlate with how thick the wall you’re mounting the door to is.

Our thermally broken doors' frames are constructed with 12 gauge tube steel and have a layer of carbon composite separating the interior and exterior sides.

Where you place the door frame inside of the jamb will determine how much your door can open.

The goal when measuring your jamb is to get the measurement from the outermost finishing of your exterior (stucco, brick, concrete, wood, etc.) to the drywall inside. To get this measurement, make sure that you're including all parts of the building materials and the finishings.

On pivot doors, the threshold is made up of one single rectangular steel tube. The sweep is on the bottom of the door.

Threshold measurements:

-Thickness (height) from either interior or exterior side:  2”

-Depth:  6” 

Make sure to follow your local building codes for weatherproofing. A drip edge and overhang are required. Your overhang should project as many inches from your wall as your door is tall, and extend at least the measurement of your door's width on both sides. We recommend adding flashing and a door sill pan at a minimum.

Our 6" wide jambs and thresholds are made from 12 gauge steel and are filled with polyurethane foam in order to insure proper sound insulation. Additionally, the interior and exterior sides of our thermally broken doors are separated by a carbon composite material to prevent condensation buildup on the interior side of the door when temperatures outside fall below 30 degrees.

Our weatherstripping is in place to create an air seal that will help create more separation between the inside and outside.

Our double paned tempered glass creates a barrier between inside and outside temperatures as well.

What is a jamb?

A door jamb refers to the thickness of your door frame. This is not the frame itself, but is solely the measurement of how thick the door frame is; this should correlate with how thick the wall you’re mounting the door to is.

How do I measure my jamb?

The goal is to get the measurement from the outermost finishing of your exterior (stucco, brick, concrete, wood, etc.) to the drywall inside. 

How thick is this door’s jamb? 

This jamb is 6”.

Is the jamb the same thing as the frame? 

No - the “jamb” is solely the measurement of the thickness of your frame in regards to the inner wall of the uprights on your frame.

Is the jamb included with the door?

Yes, the threshold is an important component of the frame, which comes welded together.

Is the jamb/frame galvanized?

Yes, we use a galvanizing spray before doors go into the painting process. 

What gauge of material is used for the jamb?

We’ve gone above the industry standard and use 12 gauge steel tubing to make the jamb and frame.

What are the specs & measurements of your in swing thresholds?

Thickness or height from the back interior side: 1 1/8”

Thickness or height from the front exterior side: 1/2”

Width or depth: 6”

What are the specs & measurements of your out swing thresholds?

Thickness or height from the back interior side: 1 1/4”

Thickness or height from the front exterior side: 1/2”

Width or depth: 6”

Do you have mounting tabs or a nailing fin on the jamb to make the installation easier?

Yes. Tabs come welded onto the jamb with predrilled holes to allow for easy installation.
