A complete steel door package for electrical, meter and utility rooms — with your choice of a UL fire-rated knob or lever lock in a storeroom function. Built from stock doors and frames in our New York factory.

How to order

  1. Size — nominal door size (width x height).
  2. Frame & Throat Depth — pick the frame type and the throat depth that matches your wall.
  3. Lock & Swing — knob or lever (both storeroom function), left or right hand.

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

Lock options — storeroom function

  • Knob Lock — Knob Lockset 7204, UL fire-rated, satin nickel stainless steel.
  • Lever Lock — Lever Lockset 7201, UL fire-rated, satin chrome stainless steel (ADA-friendly).

Storeroom function: the outside is always locked and opens only with a key; the inside always allows free exit. It's the standard choice for electrical rooms because the door can never be left unlocked. Need a different function (entrance, classroom, passage or privacy)? Add a note to your order or call us.
