A commercial-grade 34" x 84" knock-down (KD) steel door frame for 1-3/4" thick doors in drywall walls. Available in left hand or right hand and three jamb depths. Ships compact, assembles on site, and gives a clean, professional finish for new construction and renovations.

• 16 gauge steel – heavy-duty hollow metal built for high-traffic openings
• Knock-down design – ships flat, sets into finished or framed drywall walls
• 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

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.

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.

Is a knock-down frame as strong as a welded frame?
Once installed and anchored, a 16 gauge KD frame performs well in most interior openings. Welded frames are preferred for masonry walls and very heavy-use openings – ask us if you're unsure.

Can I install it in an existing wall?
Yes. Knock-down frames are designed to slip over finished drywall, which makes them a common choice for renovations.

Do you have the matching door?
Yes – we stock 34" x 84" steel doors, 1-3/4" thick, 90-minute fire rated, prepped to match these hinge locations.
