A hollow metal head section for a knock-down steel door frame. The head is the horizontal member that spans between the two jambs at the top of the opening, completing the frame and carrying the stop that the door closes against.

Steel frame components of this type are formed from sheet steel with an integral stop and returns, and are assembled on site with the matching jambs to make up the full frame. The 4-7/8 in. dimension is the throat, or jamb depth, which sets the wall thickness the frame is intended to wrap.

Heads are ordered to match the opening width and the wall construction, then set plumb and level with the jambs, anchored to the surrounding framing or masonry, and grouted or shimmed as the wall type requires.
