32" x 84" Welded Hollow Metal Door Frame – 16 Gauge Steel
A commercial-grade 32" x 84" welded steel door frame for 1-3/4" thick doors. Arrives fully assembled with factory-welded corners, in left hand or right hand and three jamb depths. Set into the opening during construction for a rigid, permanent installation.
Key Features
- 16 gauge steel – heavy-duty hollow metal built for high-traffic openings
- Fully welded – corners welded and ground at the factory; no assembly on site
- Hinge prep – reinforced for 3 standard 4-1/2" hinges
- Strike prep – welded strike reinforcement for standard latch hardware
- 2" face trim – clean, finished look on both sides
- UL labeled – for use in fire-rated openings; pairs with UFD's 90-minute fire-rated stock steel doors
Welded or Knock-Down?
A welded frame ships assembled and is set before the wall is closed in — the more rigid choice for new construction and heavy-use openings. A knock-down frame ships flat and slips over finished drywall, which makes it easier for renovations. We stock both in this size — call if you are not sure which suits your opening.
Which Jamb Depth Do I Need?
Measure your finished wall thickness (studs + drywall on both sides) and pick the matching jamb depth:
- 3-3/4" – 2-1/2" metal studs with one layer of 5/8" drywall each side
- 4-7/8" – 3-5/8" metal studs with one layer of 5/8" drywall each side
- 6-1/8" – 3-5/8" metal studs with two layers of 5/8" drywall each side
Not sure? Send us your wall thickness and we'll confirm before you order.
Left Hand or Right Hand?
Stand on the outside of the opening (the side the door swings away from). If the hinges are on your left, order Left Hand; if they're on your right, order Right Hand. See the door swing chart in the photos – a Right Hand frame also works as a Left Hand Reverse, and a Left Hand frame as a Right Hand Reverse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I set a welded frame into a finished wall?
Welded frames are meant to go in before the wall is closed up. For a retrofit into finished drywall, a knock-down frame is usually the easier choice – call us and we'll confirm which one fits your opening.
Does it ship assembled?
Yes. The frame arrives as one welded unit, ready to set and anchor.
Do you have the matching door?
Yes – we stock 32" x 84" steel doors, 1-3/4" thick, 90-minute fire rated, prepped to match these hinge locations.
