The Best Door In The Industry

Frame Hardware

The purpose of a Republic steel frame is to support and allow for the operation of swinging type doors.  This requires hinge and strike preparations in the jambs, as well as preparations for flush bolts, exit devices, anchor hinges, etc. in the header.  Most of these preparations require the frame be cutout and reinforced to receive the hardware.

Hinge Preparations

•  Frames intended for use with 1 ¾” doors are cutout to accommodate 4 ½” x 4 ½” or 5” hinges, and have 9 Ga. hinge reinforcement plates welded in.
•  Frames intended for use with 1-3/8” doors are cutout to accommodate 3 ½” x 3 ½” hinges, and have 11 Ga. hinge reinforcement plates welded in.
•  Custom hinge preparations such as 4”, 6”, and continuous hinge are available upon request.

Strike Preparations

•  A 4-7/8” strike preparation is the standard for 1 ¾” thick doors.
•  The 4-7/8” strike will receive the latch bolts from cylindrical locks, mortised locks, and unit locks.
•  A 2 ¾” strike preparation is the standard for 1-3/8” thick doors.
•  The 2 ¾” strike will receive the latch bolts from cylindrical locks and deadlocks.

Closer Reinforcements

Closer reinforcements can be either plate or sleeve types and can be slipped in or welded and can accommodate almost any type of bracket mounted, door mounted, or parallel arm mounted closers.
