Metal Door Frame Head","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe head is the horizontal top member of a knock-down hollow metal door frame, spanning between the two jambs above the door opening. It carries the same profile as the jambs so that the stop, rabbet and soffit run continuously around the opening once the frame is assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnock-down steel frames ship as separate head and jamb pieces that are mitered or notched at the corners and joined on site, which makes individual replacement members useful for repairs, retrofits and making up odd openings. The head is set first, tied to the jambs, then plumbed and squared before the wall is closed up or the frame is grouted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-7\/8 in. dimension is the throat depth of the profile, sized to sit over a wall assembly of matching thickness, and the 36 in. dimension corresponds to a standard single-door opening width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal head member for a hollow metal door frame, matching the jamb profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormed steel construction for a rigid opening that resists racking in service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral door stop and rabbet continue the frame profile across the top of the opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThroat depth of 3-7\/8 in. suits a wall assembly of corresponding thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized for a standard single-door opening width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembles with matching jambs as part of a knock-down frame, so it can be handled and set by one or two workers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as an individual piece for replacement or for making up a frame on site\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembling knock-down hollow metal door frames in new construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing a damaged head member on an existing steel frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoor openings in steel stud and gypsum board partitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpenings in masonry or CMU walls where a grouted steel frame is used\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial corridor, stair, storage and utility room door openings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTenant fit-out and renovation work where existing openings are reframed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal door frame head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Formed steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Knock-down hollow metal frame component\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpening Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThroat Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-7\/8 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36\" x 3-7\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"ARCH Building Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55112703115603,"sku":"MDH36378","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/7743\/4195\/files\/36-in-x-3-7-8-in-metal-door-frame-head-mdh36378.webp?v=1790734583","url":"https:\/\/arch-9365.myshopify.com\/products\/36-in-x-3-7-8-in-metal-door-frame-head-mdh36378","provider":"ARCH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
