36 in. x 4-7/8 in. Metal Door Head
The head is the horizontal member that spans the top of a hollow metal door frame and ties the two jambs together. It carries the same stop profile and throat depth as the matching jambs so the door slab closes against a continuous stop on three sides, and it locates the strike-side and hinge-side jambs at the correct opening width during setting.
Knock-down metal frame components ship flat and are assembled on site, with the head tabbed or mitered into the jamb tops and the assembly plumbed and braced before the wall is closed in. Steel frame heads are typically used with hollow metal or solid core doors in commercial partitions, where a wood buck would not hold up to traffic or abuse.
Key Features
- Horizontal head member for a hollow metal door frame, matched to the jamb profile

- Integral door stop continues the stop line across the top of the opening
- Throat depth sized to the wall assembly it wraps

- Assembling hollow metal door frames in steel-stud partitions
