About this detail

A double rabbet metal door frame is fitted with standard and auxiliary hinge reinforcements along its interior jamb. Three arc welds secure each auxiliary reinforcement plate in place. A plaster guard encloses the mechanism to prevent mortar or plaster intrusion during wall finishing. Temporary stretchers, braces, or a plywood door blank are installed to keep the door frame plumb and square without twists, bends, or bowing. This condition applies to all hollow metal frames, requiring reinforcement specifically at the top and bottom hinges.
