About this detail

A hollow metal door frame is set flush within a concrete wall opening and grouted solid. The frame is secured using one-quarter-inch countersunk concrete expansion bolts, with three per jamb and two at the head, having their bolt head dimples filled with putty and ground smooth. A sealant and backer rod are applied within a one-quarter-inch shim space as required between the frame and the concrete. On the interior side, metal tracks and a box beam header with king studs at the jamb support the partition framing, which is aligned on both sides with the wall. A concealed hinge is integrated into the door frame to hang the door per schedule.
