Welded or knock-down?
Throat depth is the overall wall thickness the frame wraps. Pick the frame type, then the throat that matches your wall.
Welded frame
One rigid piece with welded corners, set as the wall goes up. The strongest option for masonry and concrete block walls and new construction.
Masonry & block wallsThroat: 4 7/8"Knock-down frame
Ships in three pieces and wraps a finished drywall opening — ideal for retrofits and tenant fit-outs. 3 3/4" fits 2-1/2" studs, 4 7/8" fits 3-5/8" studs (5/8" drywall each side), 6 1/8" fits thicker walls.
Drywall / stud wallsThroat: 3 3/4" · 4 7/8" · 6 1/8"Strong, secure, made to last
Two locks
A knob or lever lock plus a Grade 2 deadbolt on every unit.
Steel all around
20-gauge galvannealed door and 16-gauge steel frame with 7-gauge hinge reinforcements.
Finish it outside
Doors ship primed gray — add your exterior paint. Weatherstripping, sweeps and thresholds on request.
How to pick the right swing
Stand on the outside of the opening — the side the door swings away from.
Right hand: hinges on the right, door swings away from you.
Left hand: hinges on the left, door swings away from you.
Reverse (RHR / LHR): the door swings toward you — call us if you need a reverse swing.
Measuring: order by nominal door size. A 36" × 80" unit has an actual door of about 35-3/4" × 79-1/4" and an overall frame of about 40" × 82". Check your drawings or local code for the required swing — or send us your rough opening and we'll confirm.

Exterior steel door questions
What comes with an exterior steel door unit?
A 20-gauge, 1-3/4" hollow metal door, a 16-gauge welded or knock-down steel frame, three self-closing spring hinges, a UFD knob or lever lock and a UFD 3501 Grade 2 deadbolt.
Is it weather-ready?
The door ships factory primed gray; paint it with an exterior finish coat after install. Weatherstripping, door sweeps and thresholds are available on request.
Which lock function should I pick?
Storeroom is always locked outside (key only) with free exit inside — best for mechanical, electrical and storage rooms. Entrance locks with a push button inside and a key outside — best for offices and tenant doors. Passage never locks — best for corridors and stairwells.
Welded or knock-down frame — which do I need?
Choose welded for masonry or block walls and new construction (4 7/8" throat). Choose knock-down for an existing drywall or stud wall: 3 3/4", 4 7/8" or 6 1/8" throat to match your wall thickness.
