2. Frame & Throat Depth — welded for masonry, knock-down for drywall.
3. Hardware & Swing — left or right hand.

Self-closing apartment doors for NYC buildings

Three spring hinges close the door automatically and the mortise lock latches it — the self-closing apartment entrance door that NYC requires in multiple dwellings (Local Law 111 of 2018). Built for landlords, property managers and supers replacing tenant doors.

Frame types & throat depths

• Welded frame (masonry & block walls, set as the wall is built): 4 7/8" throat.
• Knock-down frame (installs into a finished drywall opening): 3 3/4", 4 7/8" or 6 1/8" throat.

Throat depth = the overall wall thickness the frame wraps: 3 3/4" for 2-1/2" studs, 4 7/8" for 3-5/8" studs, 6 1/8" for thicker or double-layer walls (5/8" drywall each side). Need a different depth? Call (718) 455-8442.

Keeping the existing frame? See our Apartment Angle Unit, which slides into the old frame with no demolition.
