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.

Our jamb is constructed with 12 gauge tubing, which is above the industry standard.

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

Thickness (height): 1 1/4”

Depth: 4 & 3/8” (for a standard 2 panel door. Custom doors and doors with more panels may have thicker thresholds, frames, and tracks). 

Our 4 & 3/8 inch wide jambs and thresholds are made from 12 gauge steel.

Our weathstripping is in place to create an air seal that will further insulate your home.

Our double paned tempered glass creates a barrier between inside and outside temperatures as well, further insulating your home.
